Buy a washing machine? - Coolblue (2024)

Which washing machine you should buy, depends on your wishes. Are you often in a hurry and do you want to wash quickly? Choose an extra-fast washing machine. With this, you can wash within 1 hour. If you don't like ironing, choose a steam function. The washing machine reduces wrinkles with steam. Want your laundry to stay in good condition longer? Get automatic detergent dosing. So you always use just the right amount of detergent, which is better for your clothes. If you have a lot of bedding, choose a spacious drum with at least an 8 or 9kg load capacity. You wash the most energy-efficiently with an A energy label or higher.

These days, a washing machine lasts an average of 5 to 10 years. This can also be longer or shorter. The lifespan depends on the build quality. A high-end washing machine wears less quickly, thanks to the sturdy parts. You pay a bit more, but it's more affordable in the long run. How long a dishwasher lasts also depends on its use. Prolong the lifespan and clean the washing machine regularly. That way, you prevent a malfunction or leak.
