This freestanding washing machine has an ‘Anti-Stain’ program that Hotpoint says gives improved stain removal without pretreatment. Its 10kg cottons capacity makes this machine suitable for busy households with overflowing laundry baskets.

There’s a SteamCare setting that’s designed to relax fibres and reduce creasing – which could help cut the time you spend ironing – and a PetHairCare function that claims to remove animal fur from clothes and bedding with a prewash and extra rinse. The usual array of rapid, intensive, wool and eco programs are also present.

It also has a delay feature so you can set when you want the program to finish, and a pause setting, so you can pop in anything you accidentally left out after you’ve pressed start.

How to spot a good deal on a washing machine

Rebecca Jakeman, Which? washing machine expert, says: 'More often than not, paying more for a washing machine doesn't guarantee exceptional cleaning performance. In fact, models with higher price tags tend to offer extra features instead, such as 'smart' capabilities and more washing programs – so there's no need to pay above the odds if you don't want to.'

How much do you need to pay for a washing machine?

Some washing machines cost less than £300, while others stretch well over the £1,000 mark.

Which? testing shows that you’re more likely to end up with a Don’t Buy than a Best Buy if you spend less than £300.

You usually have to pay more than £500 to get a Best Buy. With this budget, you can choose between a variety of Best Buys, ranging from small to large, freestanding and integrated.

There are hidden gems to be found, however, so see the best cheap washing machines under £400. 

It's always a good idea to check our washing machine reviews before buying – the most expensive Don’t Buy we’ve found in our tests is nearly £580, which is an expensive mistake to make.

What extra washing machine costs should you consider?

1. Installation and delivery costs

Some retailers charge significantly more than others for delivery.

Some give you no choice over the date or time of the delivery, so you'll need to make sure you're at home that day.

AO charges the most we've seen for a quick delivery and a time slot of your choice – either morning (7am-12pm), lunch (10am-2pm) or afternoon (12-5pm). 

2. Disposal and recycling costs

Disposal costs start from around £20 from each retailer.

AO charges £30 to disconnect your old appliance, but most other retailers include this service in the installation cost of your new machine.

So AO's charge could add £30 to the total cost of your new freestanding appliance. However, your total costs could still be lower elsewhere, depending on the specific combination of services you require.  

Overall, it pays to be flexible about timings if you can. If you're unable to collect, install or disconnect your washing machine, there's not much you can do other than pay the additional fees, so keep that in mind and factor it into your total budget.

3. Energy running costs

Another cost you need to consider is the amount of energy used to run your washing machine.

Our expert testing has revealed big differences between models, with the most expensive-to-run costing more than four times as much to run as the cheapest.
