    This freestanding washing machine has a maximum spin speed of 1,400rpm and has been given an A energy rating. There are 12 programs to choose from, plus a steam function that can reduce allergens.

    It uses sensors to weigh the load and adjust washing times accordingly, potentially saving water and energy. Items can be added to the wash while the program is running, which is handy if you miss a sock.

    The wash end time can be delayed for up to 19 hours; the digital display shows how much wash time is left. You can also lock the control panel to prevent accidental settings changes caused by knocks or inquisitive little fingers.

    February sale shopping tips 

    Check the Which? website 

    As well as telling you which products are best and which are lacking, we’ve also put together a list of the best and worst shops. 

    We’ve quizzed thousands of Which? members on their experiences of shopping in some of the country’s best-known stores and websites, as well as with lesser-known brands. 

    Watch out for sneaky tricks

    Some retailers use underhand tactics to pressure you into making a purchase. 

    These include anchor pricing (when products are on sale more often than they aren’t), pressure selling (‘30 people are viewing this right now!’) and dubious claims about the ‘before’ price of a product. 

    Research customer reviews

    It’s always a good idea to read reviews before you buy a product, but not all reviews are trustworthy. 

    Some sellers incentivise people to post fake positive reviews to drown out genuine negative ones. If you’re in any doubt, check our expert guide on how to spot a fake review. 

    Returning goods

    The regulations give you a 14-day window to return a non-faulty product, which begins on the day you receive your goods. Many retailers will give you longer than this, but it's always best to check before you buy.
