Best Washing Machines Under £350 To Get Your Money’s Worth

The Candy Smart Pro lets you determine exactly what you need from your washing machine. NFC enabled, you can connect your Android Smartphone to download additional programmes and even set it to run when you're out of the house. While it may have one of the lowest energy ratings on our list, it comes with a water-saving mode, so will weigh your load and adjust the programme and water or maximum efficiency. You can wash a full load in just less than an hour with rapid wash cycles too for when you need clean clothes pronto. 

Customer review: "I've had this washing machine for a week, and so far it's been excellent. The quick cycle is only 14 minutes which is a godsend for me with a potty training toddler who also loves getting wet and muddy outdoors. It means that I can have his uniform washed and dried ready for nursery the next day, and it's got ample room to wash all the bedding etc too. The washing comes out clean and not soaking which is ideal."

As well as having a super quiet mode, the Beko WTL84121W has some fantastic features for getting your clothes cleaned quickly and efficiently. With the Fast Wash option, get small loads cleaned in a jiffy, we're talking less than half an hour, or use the Fast+ Function that'll not only cut any cycle's length by 70 per cent but will also increase the water temperature and use rapid drum movements to give you excellent results every time. 

Customer review: "Amazing machine. This Beko washing machine has great functions. It tailors for every wash and temperature you could possibly want and need. The super-fast wash at 28min is a God send! Super quiet and I would have no hesitation to recommend this make and model to anyone. The price is also very good for such a quality product. Well done Beko and AO. This washing machine is Definitely worth a 5-star rating."

At a low price, the Indesit MTWE91495WUKN 9kg Washing Machine is amazing value for money. It has a 9kg capacity, great for medium-sized households, and 16 programmes ideal for washing everything from your shirts to sports kits, woollens to delicates. It features Extra Wash that removes more detergent after the wash. Similar to the Candy Smart Pro, the Indesit has Waterbalance+ that will optimise the amount of water used in each cycle – kinder on your time and wallet. 

Customer review: "I chose this washing machine for the quick wash programs. It will do a full cotton 60° load in 1 hour (although not with the fastest spin) and there are lots of other quick options. Very easy to use."

Want a washing machine that's good for the environment? We think the Beko RecycledTub is the best you're going to find for under £350. Designed to reduce plastic pollution, this washer is made from recycled plastic bottles, transforming waste into a high-performance bit of kit. Plus, it has energy-saving features to automatically reduce water levels for smaller loads. We also love that this machine includes the Fast+ Function for speedy washes, a quiet motor, and an anti-allergy programme for sufferers.

Customer review: "This washing machine is VERY quiet. All our previous washing machines have made the familiar whining noise as the drum rotates. This machine is super quiet, all you can hear is the gentle tapping of zips and buttons on the glass door. This machine is very easy to use, good capacity and has the ability to speed up the cycle times is very handy. And finally, this washing machine is very quiet. Did I say that already? It's worth mentioning again!"

With a smaller 7kg drum, the Montpellier MW7141W is ideal for small households of one to two looking to save money. It has 15 programmes, including Cotton, Eco 40-60 and Mix. The LED indicator clearly shows the status of the wash. Perfect for young professionals or busy socialites looking to get the washing done pronto.
