Smart tech means that washing machines now boast a huge list of clever functions. If it’s an easy life you’re after, the latest washing machines will give you that in spades. They’re packed with plenty of clever extras that slash the time and effort required for a load of washing, so thanks to their voice- or app-controlled functionality, steam cleaning and bigger capacities, you’ll have your feet up in no time.

App-controlled washing machines are impressive, but if you want the best performance with the minimum fuss, look for models with built-in sensors (often known as fuzzy logic) that assesses the type of fabric, soiling levels, water hardness and weight of load, then alters the wash conditions for the best possible cleaning.

So draw up your wish-list and we'll search the best washing machines on sale right now from some of the UK's biggest retailers. Here's a rundown of our favourites deals to snap up now.

Which type of washing machine should I buy?

Well, it really depends on the size of the space you need to fill and what needs of yours have to be met.

One current trend is for washing machines to have large load capacities, high spin speeds and top energy ratings to make the washing process more energy efficient. AAA or A+AA (for energy efficiency, washing and spin-drying performance) rated washing machines may cost more but are more economical to run and leave your washing drier.

In terms of size, 6kg machines are in fashion and some even have drums that will hold from 7kg-10kg loads. Their clever designs mean many models with larger drums can still fit into a standard space. Don’t forget, with any size of the washing machine, it’s more economical to wash a full load than do lots of small washes. Ideal Home's Associate Editor Ginevra Benedetti advises: ‘Not sure what size machine to get? As a rule, up to 7kg is good for one to two people, 8-9kg for a family and anything over 10kg is best for a large (or sporty!) family.’
