Washing Machine Buying Guide Ireland | Cork News

Buying a new washing machine? It’s not just about the price — drum size, energy ratings, spin speed, and space matter. Small households can get by with 7kg, but families need 8-9kg to avoid overloading and extra runs. New energy ratings mean A-rated is top for savings, but check kilowatt-hours and electricity cost for real running costs. Spin speed (RPM) affects drying — 1400 is ideal for most, lower for delicates. Measure your space carefully — width, height, depth, plus clearance for hoses. Essential wash programs: cotton, towels, quick wash, delicates. Extras? Mostly fluff. And don’t skip the warranty — Ireland’s law is 2 years, but manufacturers often offer 3-5. Longer coverage might save you more than a few euro off the price. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
