For in-depth running costs, I used the figures stated on the EU energy label, which assume 220 washes per year. This meant I could utilise the stated energy and water consumption figures to give an average cost per wash, using average electricity and water costs.
With a delay start the laundry will be ready just when you want it. It allows you to program the start of the washing cycle with a maximum delay of 24 hours. No more worries of unpleasant odours created by wet laundry that has been left inside the machine. No more wasting of the energy consumption, setting the laundry when the electricity is more convenient. Named programmes are always the best option on a washing machine, both for convenience and ease of use. Sadly, the control panel on the Smart Pro is symbol heavy – meaning that you might be able to remember which is cotton and which the mixed load but if you’re washing anything out of the ordinary, you’ll need the instructions, which has a useful programme table in it, to hand, or spend time scrolling through the dial one by one waiting for the display to tell you what it is.We reached out to the biggest brands to find out more about support policies and, as you can see, some are falling well short of this measure.

This freestanding washing machine comes with a generous capacity, an impressive spin speed, and a multitude of programmes to get your clothes cleaned to perfection. Wash Programmes The app itself is fairly simple compared to more expensive machines but could potentially be useful if you need to add extra programmes or have an issue with the machine’s functions. There’s actually a good selection of 16 programmes, which can be toggled in temperature and spin speed within set parameters using a pair of buttons below the display screen and includes handy settings such as Hygiene Plus (which maintains a high temperature to sanitise the load). Beyond programmes, the options offer good washing flexibility – as well as pre-wash, you’ll find a 24-hour delay timer and steam (to make ironing easier). Its KG detector can also be used to weigh the laundry and then adjust the cycle’s length and water and energy required.
The stain strip featured, left to right – red wine, vegetable oil, tomato sauce, orange juice and gravy, all left to dry into the fabric. At the end of the cycle, the red wine remained, though fainter, and there was a trace of ketchup in the fabric.

To work out yearly figures, I used the average number of washing machine loads in the UK (274 per year), and multiplied by three different load amounts (6kg for high, 4.5kg for medium and 3kg for low) to get a total amount of washing per year in kg. Like most machines, the Smart Pro also has a countdown timer but it’s worse than useless as it’s inaccurate. On both washes, the estimated time left was far longer than stated on the screen – for example, the synthetics wash took 30 minutes longer than shown after five minutes into the cycle, and a 10-minute spin on the cotton wash took twice as long. Even taking into account adjustment by the KG detector, this makes the feature more of a loose guideline than something useful.
