What Laundry Appliances Should You Buy?

Most UK homes need one of three things: a standalone washing machine, a combined washer dryer, or a separate washing machine and tumble dryer pairing. Choose a washer dryer if space is tight. Choose separate machines if you dry large loads regularly, as tumble dryers handle full-capacity drying that washer dryers cannot.

Washing Machines

A washing machine is the foundation of any laundry setup. Capacity, spin speed and energy rating are the three specifications that matter most.

Freestanding Washing Machines

Freestanding models sit anywhere with a water supply and drain. They're easier to install, cheaper to replace, and available in the widest range of capacities - typically 7kg to 12kg. Browse the full freestanding washing machine range for standard 60cm-wide models.

Integrated Washing Machines

Integrated washing machines sit behind a kitchen cabinet door for a seamless finish. They're ideal for open-plan kitchens where noise and appearance matter. Capacities usually top out around 9kg due to cabinet constraints. Explore integrated washing machines for a built-in look.

Understanding Spin Speed

Spin speed is measured in RPM. Higher speeds extract more water, cutting drying time.

  • 1200 RPM - suitable for most households and gentler on fabrics
  • 1400 RPM - the UK sweet spot, balancing extraction and fabric care
  • 1600 RPM - fastest drying, best if you use a tumble dryer or line dry

Energy Ratings Explained

Since March 2021, appliances use the rescaled A–G energy label. An A-rated washing machine today is significantly more efficient than the old A+++ rating. Most current models sit between A and D. Read more about the new energy labels and what they mean for running costs.

Freestanding Washer Dryers

Standard 60cm units that slot into any gap with plumbing. See the freestanding washer dryer collection for the widest choice of capacities and brands.

Integrated Washer Dryers

Built-in models that disappear behind cabinetry - a popular choice in newer kitchens. Browse integrated washer dryers.

Tumble Dryers

Tumble dryers fall into three types, and the difference affects both running costs and installation.

Heat Pump Tumble Dryers

Heat pump technology recycles warm air rather than venting it, using roughly half the electricity of a condenser dryer. They cost more upfront but typically pay back within a few years for regular users. Cycles run longer and at lower temperatures, which is gentler on clothes. Shop heat pump tumble dryers for the most energy-efficient drying.

Condenser Tumble Dryers

Condenser dryers collect moisture in a removable tank or drain directly into a waste pipe. No external venting required, so they can go anywhere. Lower purchase price, higher running costs. View condenser dryers.

Integrated Tumble Dryers

Built-in dryers designed to match kitchen cabinetry, usually available in condenser or heat pump format. Explore integrated tumble dryers.

Which Tumble Dryer Is Cheapest to Run?

Heat pump tumble dryers are the cheapest to run. A typical A+++ heat pump dryer uses around 1.5–2.0 kWh per cycle, compared with 4–5 kWh for a standard condenser model - a meaningful difference across several loads a week.

Spin Dryers

For homes without space for a full tumble dryer, a spin dryer extracts excess water at high speed, cutting line-drying or airer time dramatically. Compact and inexpensive. See spin washing machines.

  • Steam refresh - reduces creasing and cuts ironing time
  • Quick wash - full loads in 15–30 minutes
  • Auto-dose detergent - measures detergent per load, reducing waste
  • Delay start - schedule cycles for cheaper off-peak electricity tariffs
  • Anti-allergy cycles - higher temperatures for bedding and sensitive skin

FAQ's

Atlantic Electrics offers a full range of laundry appliances, including washing machines, tumble dryers, washer dryers and laundry accessories. The collection features trusted brands such as Bosch, Samsung, LG, AEG and Miele, with options spanning energy-efficient models, space-saving designs and large-capacity machines to suit any UK household, whether upgrading or fitting out a new home.
A washer dryer combines both functions in one unit, making it ideal for smaller homes or flats where space is limited. Separate machines, however, offer larger drying capacities and let you wash and dry simultaneously. For busy households doing frequent laundry, two appliances are usually more efficient; for compact kitchens, a washer dryer is the smarter choice.
Look for appliances rated A under the current UK energy label, as these consume the least electricity and water per cycle. Many laundry appliances at Atlantic Electrics carry high efficiency ratings, helping reduce running costs and your energy bills. Eco wash programmes, accurate load sensing and faster spin speeds also improve efficiency and lower long-term consumption.
Drum capacity depends on household size: 6–7kg suits one or two people, 8–9kg works well for families of three to four, and 10kg or larger is best for larger families or bulky bedding. Atlantic Electrics stocks a range of capacities, so consider your typical laundry volume and available kitchen space before choosing.
Yes, Atlantic Electrics provides nationwide UK delivery alongside installation and aftercare services. Many customers report prompt delivery, sometimes within 24 to 48 hours, with engineers handling setup of washing machines and dryers. For full delivery timescales, charges and installation options for your chosen appliance, check the product page or contact the customer service team directly.
Laundry appliances are supplied free from defects in materials and workmanship for a minimum of 12 months from delivery, with some manufacturers offering longer guarantee periods. The warranty excludes faults caused by accident, neglect or misuse. For any fault discovered after the first 30 days but within the guarantee period, contact the product manufacturer for assistance.
Yes, under UK Distance Selling Regulations you can cancel within 14 calendar days of delivery. For faults found within 30 days, you're entitled to a full refund or exchange, subject to stock. Note that change-of-mind returns require the item in original condition, and you may be responsible for return or collection costs, so always retain the packaging.
A machine that won't spin or drain is usually caused by a blocked filter, kinked drainage hose, or an unbalanced load. Check the pump filter for trapped debris, ensure the drum isn't overloaded, and confirm the hose isn't bent. If the fault persists, contact the manufacturer rather than attempting repairs yourself, as self-repair can void your warranty.
Run a hot maintenance wash at 90°C monthly using a washing machine cleaner or white vinegar to clear detergent residue and bacteria. Wipe the rubber door seal, leave the door ajar between washes, and clean the detergent drawer and filter regularly. This routine maintenance prevents mould, removes odours and extends the lifespan of your laundry appliance.
The best brand depends on your budget and priorities: Miele and Bosch are renowned for longevity and build quality, AEG offers strong performance, while Samsung and LG lead on smart connectivity and innovative features. Atlantic Electrics stocks all these leading brands, so comparing reliability, capacity, energy efficiency and warranty length helps you find the right fit.
