Easy care
How clean a synthetic and polyester wash were.
Spin drying
Rating for the time taken to spin dry a washing load.
Rinse
How well the machine rinses away detergent on the 40degreeC cotton, short and delicates programs.
Evenness (drying)
Best models dry all items equally, while others leave some items damp.
Drying programs
How long it took to complete preselected programs, including storage dry (where an item can be put straight in a cupboard), iron dry (best humidity for ironing) and man-made fabrics (which can be damaged by high heat or overdrying).
Ease of use
Ease of loading, programming and cleaning the lint filters.
Noise
The lowest scorers for drying were fairly loud. The motor was audible, as was the movement of air and clothes in the drum.
Running costs
We test how much energy the machine uses doing a load of laundry on a wash and dry cycle. Machines rated 4 stars cost around £21 less to run a year than those that are rated 2 stars, based on five loads of washing and four loads of drying a week.
