What is the best washing machine to buy in 2020?

The nation has seen a huge upturn in the amount of washing, cleaning and drying that our home appliances are being subjected to. Now, more than ever, it’s even more important to make sure the washing machine you have in your home is the best for your needs. It’s important that it is efficient and economical to run. It must be a great value for money and a washing machine the has good reviews. The washing machine must be available at the best price possible using deals, sales and coupons codes to make it affordable. It must be built to last and not break down; guarantees and warranties are important.

It can also be tricky to move away from established household names in the UK washing machine market.

It’s also vitally important to see a washing machine as an investment. With this in mind going straight to the budget option is not always the best plan for the long term. In fact, I’ve frequently written about the importance of considering if a premium value item is worth its price tag.

So, with all those factors in mind. What is the best washing machine to buy in 2020?
