Functional, affordable and transparent.

Buying washing & drying appliances: what should you look at?

Anyone setting out to buy a washing machine or a tumble dryer is quickly overwhelmed by the sheer choice. Dozens of brands, hundreds of models and endless lists of functions that barely get used in practice. The result? Plenty of people end up paying for features they never touch, and for the logo on the front of the machine.

Making a good choice is simpler than the manufacturers would have you believe. Three things really decide it:

  • Capacity: does the appliance suit the number of people in your household?
  • Energy rating: how economical is the machine in everyday use?
  • Reliability: how long will it last and what warranty do you get?

Pro Witgoed was set up as a no-nonsense alternative: no showroom, no sales patter, no hidden costs. Just functional appliances at a fair price, available straight from stock. View our full washing & drying range and find out what suits you.

Buying a washing machine: which type suits you?

When you buy a washing machine there are two basic questions: which type do you need, and what capacity? The answers depend on your space, your household and how you use it.

For singles and couples a 6 kg washing machine is more than enough in most cases. Families with children, or anyone with a lot of laundry, are wise to go for an 8 or 9 kg model. You wash less often, use less energy per kilo of laundry and your clothes wear out more slowly.

Want to buy a cheap washing machine without giving up on quality? Then Heinner is the smart choice. Heinner washing machines are built on proven technology, but they come without the mark-up the big brands charge for their name.

Front loader vs top loader

The question that comes up most often when buying a washing machine is the difference between a front loader and a top loader.

  • Front loader: the usual choice. More economical on water and energy, and suitable for stacking with a tumble dryer, ideal if your space is limited in height but not in width. For most households a front loader is the best option.
  • Top loader: a smaller footprint and handy if you have little floor space but do not want to stack appliances. The drawback: top loaders are generally less energy efficient than front loaders and cannot be combined into a stacking set.

For most households, and certainly for landlords fitting out a complete laundry set-up, a front loader is the most practical and most economical choice.

Energy ratings on washing machines

Since 2021 washing machines have carried the revised European energy label, which runs from A (most efficient) to G (least efficient). A washing machine with an A or B energy rating uses significantly less electricity than a model rated D or E; over a year that can save you tens of euros on your energy bill.

At Pro Witgoed we offer Heinner washing machines with attractive energy ratings, so you are better off not only when you buy but in everyday use as well. The energy rating is always stated clearly with every product.

Buying a tumble dryer: condenser or heat pump?

Anyone buying a tumble dryer faces one fundamental choice: a condenser tumble dryer or a heat pump tumble dryer. The difference is not only in the technology, but in the total cost over the life of the appliance.

  • Condenser tumble dryer: a lower purchase price and simple technology. The drawback is higher energy use per drying cycle. For landlords and first-time buyers whose main concern is the purchase price, this is often the most logical choice.
  • Heat pump tumble dryer: a higher purchase price, but considerably cheaper to run. The extra investment pays for itself through lower energy costs, certainly with heavy use. The drying is also gentler on your laundry.

Practical advice: do you use the dryer every day? Then a heat pump tumble dryer works out cheaper in the long run. Renting your home, or only using the dryer now and then? Then a condenser tumble dryer is the most cost-effective choice.

Every Heinner tumble dryer at Pro Witgoed comes with a full 5 year warranty. See our tumble dryers with a 5 year warranty and find the model that fits your situation.

Washer dryer: one appliance for washing and drying

A washer dryer combines a washing machine and a tumble dryer in a single appliance. That makes this type of machine ideal for small spaces: studios, flats, student rooms or compact rented homes where there is no room for two separate appliances.

Worth knowing: the drying capacity of a washer dryer is usually lower than its wash capacity. Where the machine can wash 8 kg, for example, the drying capacity is often 5 or 6 kg. That means larger loads have to be dried in two goes. For average use this is rarely a problem in practice.

For landlords a washer dryer is the perfect solution: one compact appliance per property, less installation space needed and a complete laundry solution for the tenant. The Heinner range at Pro Witgoed includes washer dryers available straight from stock at a keen price.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between a condenser tumble dryer and a heat pump tumble dryer?

A condenser tumble dryer has a lower purchase price but uses more energy per drying cycle. A heat pump tumble dryer costs more to buy but is considerably cheaper to run. For heavy daily use a heat pump tumble dryer works out better in the long run. For occasional use, or for landlords, a condenser tumble dryer is often the most practical choice.

What are the advantages of a washer dryer?

A washer dryer takes up the space of just one appliance and combines washing and drying in a single machine. Ideal for small spaces such as studios, flats and rented homes. Do bear in mind that the drying capacity is usually lower than the wash capacity.

What washing machine capacity do I need?

For singles and couples 6 kg is usually enough. Families with children, or anyone with more laundry, are better off with an 8 or 9 kg model. The larger the capacity, the fewer loads you need each week.

Do I get a warranty on my washing machine or tumble dryer from Pro Witgoed?

Yes. Every washing machine, tumble dryer and washer dryer from Pro Witgoed comes with a full 5 year warranty. It is included as standard, with no extra cost and no subscription.

Are the washing machine and tumble dryer installed at home?

Yes. At Pro Witgoed, free delivery and installation are included as standard when you buy a washing machine or a tumble dryer. You do not have to do a thing yourself.

Why has Pro Witgoed chosen Heinner?

Heinner makes appliances of proven quality, built on reliable technology, but without the marketing costs and brand premium that are baked into the price of the big names. That translates directly into a lower purchase price for the customer, with the quality and the warranty intact.

How quickly will my washing machine or tumble dryer be delivered?

Pro Witgoed delivers straight from its own stock. In most cases your order is delivered and installed within a few working days. There is no need to wait weeks, as is sometimes the case with the big online retailers.

A good washing machine or tumble dryer does not have to be expensive. Choose on capacity, energy rating and warranty, avoid paying for functions you will never use or for a big brand name, and you will be well equipped for years at a fair price.
