Sust-it’s energy efficiency chart for washing machines has been dominated by expensive machines, but not now, as Beko have taken the top slot with their WMD78144 model. It has a large capacity drum (8.0 kg) which helps with efficiency and is fast at washing too (28 minute cycle – 8kg wash at 30ºC).

So, is it expensive? No, it’s just over £300, that’s almost half the price of the nearest rival, the LG F1402FDS6, in our efficiency charts.
