Buyer guidance
What to look for when choosing quiet washing machines
✓ Compare manufacturer noise figures where available, particularly during spin. ✓ Installation and levelling can influence vibration as well as the machine itself. ✓ Quiet operation should not come at the expense of needed capacity or programmes. ✓ Check whether quieter or night modes materially lengthen cycle times.
