What’s the difference between a front load and a top load washing machine?
Front loaders are generally more water- and energy-efficient, with higher spin speeds for faster drying and a gentler wash - perfect for delicate fabrics or stacking with a dryer. Top loaders, on the other hand, offer larger capacities, easier loading without bending over, and quicker cycle times. Explore front and top loaders here.
How do I choose the right washing machine size for my household?
It depends on how much you wash and how often. For singles or couples, a 5–7kg washer is usually enough. For families, an 8–10kg capacity is ideal, while large households or heavy-duty users may benefit from a 12–14kg model. Our Laundry Buying Guide breaks it down in full detail.
Is it worth buying a washer dryer combo?
Absolutely - especially if you’re tight on space or prefer a simple one-unit solution. Washer dryer combos can wash and dry your clothes in one cycle, saving time and floor space. Keep in mind they typically have smaller drying capacities than standalone dryers. Compare washer dryer combos to see what suits you best.
Should I dry my clothes outside, inside, or use a dryer?
Each method has pros and cons. Outdoor drying is eco-friendly but weather-dependent. Indoor racks are convenient, but can lead to musty smells or moisture build-up. Dryers offer all-weather drying and convenience, especially in humid or wet climates. We break down all three options here.
How do I reduce laundry costs at home?
- Use cold water where possible.
- Wash full loads (but don’t overload).
- Use the right amount of detergent - less is often more.
- Clean your lint filter and washing machine regularly.
- Consider doing laundry at night for off-peak energy rates.

What laundry appliances can be wall-mounted?
Vented dryers are the only models that can be safely wall-mounted. They come with mounting kits and are perfect for small laundries where floor space is limited. Heat pump and condenser dryers are heavier and designed for stacking instead. Shop wall-mountable dryers.
Can I stack any dryer on top of a washing machine?
Most front load washers can be safely stacked with a compatible dryer using a stacking kit or anti-vibration mat. This is a great solution for maximising vertical space. Always follow the manufacturer’s stacking instructions to ensure safety and warranty compliance. Read our stacking guide.
What’s included in your free delivery and connection service?
For eligible postcodes, we offer free next-day delivery and free connection on washing machines and washer dryer combos. We’ll also take away your old appliance for recycling - no stress, no landfill. Read more about our free connection.
What size dryer should I get?
Dryer capacity depends on how much you wash at once. A good rule of thumb is to choose a dryer with the same or slightly larger capacity than your washer. For example, an 8kg washing machine should be paired with an 8–9kg dryer.
