Front Loader Washing Machines

A mainstay of many households, a front loader is a washing machine where the main access door to load all your washing is on the front face of the machine, as opposed to on top. This makes it an excellent choice to achieve effective, efficient, and thorough washing results because it uses less water than a top loader and does not have an agitator (the tall plastic tower in the middle of most top loaders), which provides a much gentler wash. At Appliances Online, we have an extensive selection of front loaders from big brands including ASKO, Bosch, Miele, Hisense, Beko, Haier, Miele, and more.

With an array of machines able to handle anything from five to sixteen kgs of clothing at a time, you can complete all your washing with fewer cycles. 

Important considerations to keep in mind when looking at a new front loader include the assortment of different wash programs/wash cycles, spin speeds, and other features, all of which are designed to efficiently clean your fabrics.

With features such as quick wash programs, high water star ratings, or Samsung’s AddWash and BubbleWash, you can get your washing done quickly and easily. Some Samsung front loading washing machines can even connect to Wi-Fi, granting you the ability to remotely monitor and control your machine.

Fisher & Paykel washing machines even utilise WashSmart and QuickSmart functions to enhance the quality of your wash.

Since they don't need to completely fill with water to run, as is the case with top loaders, and can use gravity in the tumbling action to agitate your clothes, front-loaders tend to be energy efficient with high energy ratings and water ratings

Need a little more help choosing between a front load washing machine or top load washer? Not sure whether a Bosch 9kg front load washer or an Electrolux 7.5kg front load washer will suit your home? Read through our Laundry Buying Guide.

The right size front load washing machine depends on how many people live in your home and how often you do laundry. Here’s a quick guide:

5 - 7kg - Best for singles or couples. Ideal if you wash smaller loads a few times a week.

7.5 - 9kg - Great for medium-sized households (3 - 4 people). Handles regular family loads, including towels and bedding.

10 - 12kg - Perfect for large families (5+ people) or anyone washing bulky items like doonas and blankets regularly.

14kg+ - Extra-large capacity for households that do multiple heavy loads each week, or for shared living spaces.

When in doubt, size up - it’s more efficient to run one large load than multiple smaller ones. If you have a larger family or you just prefer doing your laundry less often, get a large front loader. High-capacity washing machine options are great for doing bigger loads, whether it’s because it’s for more people or you just find it easier to take longer windows between laundry days. On the other hand, if you do your laundry often or you have a smaller household, a more compact model will do the trick.

At Appliances Online, you can filter by capacity to find the right front loader for your needs, order by midnight for free next-day delivery, free washer connection and enjoy free removal of your old machine.

Smart models let you start, pause and monitor cycles from your phone, download custom wash programs and receive maintenance alerts - handy for those who want the convenience of controlling the washing machine remotely, receiving wash cycle notifications while juggling multiple different priorities at home and keeping an eye on the machines health. Remote notifications really helps, especially when the machine is located in an area that isn't a common area, like the garage or a room on the other side of the home, so you don't forget to unload the washing.

Our range spans entry-level to premium pricing, and every model is covered by our Price Match Guarantee. Find it cheaper from an approved retailer and we’ll match it - plus you still enjoy free delivery, free connection and old-unit removal. This guarantee covers all our other appliances too. We’ll price-match everything from kitchen items like ice cream maker models and Nespresso machines to cleaning tools like steam mops and handheld vacuum cleaners.

We also provide a selection of more affordable cheap washer options and also daily deal offers running across a wide range of products.
