It is extremely important to carry out a monthly cleaning maintenance cycle to keep your appliance in top condition and remove scale, as neglecting cleaning can lead to detergent and fabric softener build-up which can affect performance and cause odours, while in the long run it will cause damage to the washing machine drum itself.

Built-in dishwashers offer aesthetic advantages as they are integrated into the kitchen design. They also save space and offer greater sound insulation than free-standing models.

The two energy labels on washer-dryers represent the functions of the appliance. On the right side is the rating for washing, while on the left side, you see the combined performance of the machine in washing and drying.

For less noise, prefer washing machines with inverter motors. Unlike regular motors, these models use frictionless magnets instead of noisy brushes to power the machine. They also make your washing machine more energy efficient and more durable which usually comes with a 10-year motor warranty.
