When you're choosing a new machine it is useful to note a brand's credentials. Indesit is the second largest wet laundry brand in the UK, with an 18% market share. The company has the third highest loyalty rate of any white goods brand - behind only Hotpoint and Bosch - so when you choose an Indesit washing machine, you can be sure you're investing in a reliable appliance.

How to choose your Indesit washing machine

Indesit washing machines come in three different families or "levels" of appliance. These are Start, Advance and Prime. The features and capacities of the machines increase as you climb through the range of Indesit machines. But be aware the price of the appliance will also increase with every upgrade.

The Start machines are entry level with a 6kg capacity, whilst Advance have 6-7kg and Prime boast a large 8kg. So what does that mean in terms of clothes?

6kg - a 6kg appliance has the ability to wash about 30 shirts at once. That is men's shirts, so expect to be able to wash more if you are cleaning children's clothes. This size of machine will also be able to wash a single duvet but don't be tempted to cram in a double. Overstuffing your appliance can cause problems with the drum and damage your duvet.

7kg - this size of machine will accommodate about 35 men's shirts and even more kid's clothes. It will also take a double duvet, saving you the cost and inconvenience of trips to the laundrette.

8kg - 8kg Indesit washing machines have the capacity to hold a whopping 40 men's shirts. They will also quite easily hold a king sized duvet so you never need go to a laundrette again.

Indesit washing machines offer a wealth of innovative wash programmes to make your day to day life easier. These include Ecotime, Outerwear programme, Duvet programme, Jeans, Shirts, Mini cool 30 min programme, Express, Special shoes and Sports programmes. Basically, Indesit washing machines have a programme for every scenario, so you can pick your model based on the needs of your household.
