Appliance Buying Advice
This area of our site gives you extensive knowledge about choosing and buying new domestic appliances including washing machines, tumble dryers, dishwashers, fridge freezers, cookers, ovens and more.
If you need help picking the best washing machine or any other appliance these guides are designed to help you do just that and learn about what to look for and what to avoid. And some, you really should avoid!
You will find a section for each of the major appliance groups and buying guides and help for each within each section. However before you buy please look up the brand/s you are looking at in our manufacturer section to find out what you are really buying and from who as many are own label brands.
If you still need more help please use the forums to ask the expert people in the trade for their opinion.
Should you not see an article that you think should be in this section then please feel free to email a request to us on admin@ukwhitegoods.co.uk and we will do our best to accommodate your requirements.
Interesting Things About Updates
We keep on seeing manufacturers mooting so-called AI features these days, and along with that, often the mention of future updates seems to be common. We thought we’d take a look at that for people so that they can understand that these are unlikely and, even if they do happen, are not liable t…
What Do You Recommend? Tumble Dryers
Just the same as with washing machines, this is one of the most common questions that repairers get asked; what we’d recommend and that’s more true of the independent repairers than any others because they’ve no real skin in the game as it were as they often don’t sell them or make anythi…

Software Planned Obsolescence
This is a topic that hasn’t come up much, if at all, for kitchen appliances, but it is one that buyers should be made aware of because it is possible that, in some cases, that swanky connected appliance that you bought ends up becoming a useless brick. To date, this has largely been the preserve …
The Case For VAT Free Repairs
]In the past few years, there has been a shift, not a seismic one but a shift nonetheless, towards encouraging repair over replacement, which makes sense financially and also environmentally, but moving people away from the addiction of just throwing stuff out when it breaks and buying a new one …
Robot Vacuum Cleaners
Many, many moons ago, we tried out a robot vacuum, a couple of them in fact. At the time, it was a Roomba, as that was really the only show in town, and they weren’t all that great. Perhaps somewhat stupidly, we dismissed them as a gimmick and got on with our lives, that was a mistake. Rise Of …
Bagged Or Bagless Cleaners
This has been an ongoing debate, discussion, argument, whatever since Dson really took off back in the day and, these days, most all main domestic brands have gone down the bagless cleaner rabbit hole because, it’s what sells. That’s not to say that it’s actually better. Until the late 1990…
Power And Energy
In the past, we have had times when people don’t quite get the difference between what “power” and “energy” are, as it can be a bit confusing when people who deal with this sort of stuff (like us!) often fail to explain well. We thought it might be a good thing to offer a better explana…
Appliances, Automation, Monitoring & More
