Hi
I have a budget of max £400 , I’m looking for something that’s 7-8kg or higher with 1400 spin.
I have had an lg before that was quiet but noticed some friends washing machines have a high pitched noise when spinning (I think it was a hoover maybe) so keen for advice and recommendations for good and quiet machines! Thanks in advance
Washing machines up to about four years ago had a “whine” when spinning which was mainly due to the motors having carbon brush motors, the higher the spin the higher pitch the whine. There are quite a few machines now which have a brushless or otherwise known as an induction motor which does make them quieter on spin.
Googling helps, a trip into your local retailer and look at the noise levels on the energy labels is the best way.

I’ve always gone for hotpoint ultima 8-9kg, now have a s-line 10 kg, both are extremly quiet and 1600 spin which is brilliant, only downside I would say is programme times on the s-line are very long, talking to others with 10kg machines they say the same
It’s all about achieving A and then some +++ . Sadly you can’t have energy efficiency and shorter programmes.
A raft of info on this link https://www.ukwhitegoods.co.uk/help/buying-advice/washing-machine on this and other topics.

TCL ff0814wc0uk 280 quid. 1400 spin 8kg load 2 year warranty dismantlable tank unit Revoluntionary PLA Maoist made – you can`t go wrong? And so probably bugger all spares but the you get that with imports costing 800+ quid ( a certain Asko from memory ) so buy it, use it if cannot be fixed due to no parts go back to the shop and threaten them…………with the Right to Repair spares to be available for 10 years.
Update 2 July 2023: well that model TCL ff0814wc0uk was short lived so must`ve been far too reliable for UK market (can`t possibily have that!) and so according to Marks Electrical appears to have now become obsolete / a discontinued model and if that is true that would be typical of Chinese imported stuff – importers drop you in the clag at the drop of a hat without any warning and leave you floundering around for future spares which I notice you can get though their thin on the ground, trouble is those spares are around twice the price of Bosch spares but with the disadvantage of no non genuine parts listed.
Ref TCLff0814wc0uk spares update. Here`s a spares link for those who need it in the future. As you`ll see the parts are not cheap.
