Heinner washing machines: find the spin speed, capacity and energy label that suit you

Our range holds 33 Heinner washing machines, from freestanding to built-in and from front to top loaders. The right choice comes down to three numbers: the wash capacity in kilos (6-7 kg for one or two people, 8 kg for a family, 9 kg or more for a large family), the energy label (A or B wash most economically) and the spin speed in rpm (the higher it is, the drier the laundry comes out of the drum). Not sure what to look for yet? Then start with the washing machine buying guide. On every Heinner you can also count on a 5-year warranty and free delivery and installation.

Buying a Heinner washing machine: what to look for

A washing machine lasts around ten years, so it pays to lay the specifications side by side. Four things make the difference between a machine that just about fits and one that is exactly right: the capacity, the energy label, the spin speed and the programmes. Below we explain, point by point, what the figures mean for your laundry.

Washing capacity: how many kilos do you need?

Capacity is the weight of dry laundry that fits in a full drum. For 1 to 2 people 6 to 7 kg is more than enough, a family runs comfortably on 8 kg, and with a large family or plenty of bed linen you go for 9 kg or more. Half-filling a drum that is too large wastes energy, while a machine that is too small means running it more often. Our 33 Heinner washing machines cover every size, so you never have to compromise on the fit with your household.

Energy label: A or B wash the most efficiently

Since the revised EU label, the scale runs from A (most efficient) to G. A washing machine with an A or B label uses noticeably less electricity and water per cycle, which adds up considerably over ten years. The eco programme washes at a lower temperature and is often the most efficient, even though it takes longer. Read how to really save in our guide on buying an energy-efficient washing machine.

Spin speed: drier laundry, shorter drying

The spin speed (in rpm) tells you how hard the drum spins. At 1200 rpm the laundry comes out damp; at 1400 or 1600 rpm it is considerably drier. If you have a tumble dryer or an airer, a higher spin speed saves drying time and energy. Combining the machine with a dryer? Then also take a look at our tumble dryers or the compact washer dryers.

Programmes and noise level

Alongside the standard cotton programme, Heinner machines often offer steam (removes creases and freshens up), anti-allergy (extra hot for mites and pollen), a quick wash for a lightly loaded cycle and eco for efficient running. If the machine stands in an open-plan kitchen or close to the bedroom, keep an eye on the noise level in decibels. Want reliable washing without spending a lot?

FAQ

Frequently asked questions about washing machines

Cannot find your question here? Feel free to get in touch with us.

What wash capacity do I need for my household?

As a rough guide, allow 6 to 7 kg for 1 to 2 people, 8 kg for a family and 9 kg or more for a large family or if you regularly wash duvets and bedding. The capacity refers to dry washing in a completely full drum. If in doubt, go slightly larger: you can half-fill a bigger drum, but a machine that is too small means running it more often. The buying guide gives you tailored advice based on your situation.

What does the energy rating mean on a washing machine?

The EU energy rating runs from A (most efficient) to G and shows the electricity and water used per wash. A washing machine rated A or B is clearly more efficient and earns back the small price difference over the years. The eco programme washes at a lower temperature and is usually the most efficient, although it takes a little longer. Read more about saving energy in our guide to buying an energy efficient washing machine.

How many rpm is enough?

The spin speed determines how dry your laundry comes out of the machine. 1200 rpm is fine if you often dry outside or on an airer, 1400 to 1600 rpm leaves the laundry noticeably drier and saves drying time if you use a tumble dryer. A higher spin speed sometimes brings a little more noise and vibration, so weigh that up if the machine is clearly audible in your home. If you combine washing with drying, also take a look at our tumble dryers.

Which washing machine is the quietest?

The noise depends on the stated noise level in decibels and on the spin speed: a machine makes the most noise while spinning. A model with a low dB level and stable suspension is more pleasant if the washing machine stands near the living room or bedroom. We have gathered the quietest models on the quiet washing machine page.

What is a steam programme good for?

A steam programme smooths creases out of your laundry, freshens up lightly worn clothing without a full wash and helps reduce allergens, which is welcome if you have sensitive skin. Many Heinner models combine steam with anti-allergy, quick wash and eco. If you want to search specifically for this function, take a look at washing machine with steam function.
