AE G 9000 Series L9FEC 966R £899, aeg.co.uk

AEG delivers superb flexible cleaning, effective water softening and a steam-cleaning feature to reduce your ironing pile. It’s quiet, efficient and environmentally friendly, too.

Miele WKH 122 WPS £1,499, miele.co.uk

This impressive Miele stands out thanks to its very clever dosing system (although you don’t need to use it if you’d rather stick to Bold), its super-efficient Powerwash cleaning and a 1,600rpm spin.

Hotpoint Ultima S-Line RPD10477DD £400, hotpoint.co.uk

With a massive 10kg drum and 1,400rpm spin, this tough machine will make short work of even the biggest family’s laundry, although it’s a bit noisy so isn’t ideal for openplan homes.

Bosch Serie 2 WAB28161GB £287, bosch-home.co.uk

With triple-A energy performance, useful smart washing modes and a 1,400rpm spin cycle, this Bosch proves you don’t need to pay serious cash for a high-quality washing machine.
