If you are looking for an affordable washing machine, don't just look at the purchase price but also at the peace of mind afterwards. At Fodor you get a 24-month manufacturer's warranty and a 30-day cooling-off period on every item, including return deals. After that, you choose on load capacity, spin speed, energy class and the features you really use.
Peace of mind: manufacturer's warranty and cooling-off period
Every washing machine at Fodor comes with a 24-month manufacturer's warranty. That applies to new machines and to return deals: returned items that have been technically checked and made complete. You can read exactly what a return deal is in the explanation of return deals.
You also have a 30-day cooling-off period. That way you can take a good look at the machine at home before making your final choice.
What size do you need?
The load capacity is the first choice. It stands for the amount of dry laundry that fits in the drum per wash.
- 6 kg: about one full laundry basket per wash. The Salora WASH6W and the Salora WASH6B have a 44-litre drum and, at 84.5 cm high, 59.7 cm wide and 49.7 cm deep, fit a standard spot under the worktop. The WASH6W is white and the WASH6B black, so you can choose what suits your kitchen or bathroom. Both weigh 55.2 kg, so two people can easily carry the machine inside.
- 4.6 kg: the Salora MINIWASHING5 is a top-loading mini washing machine for a student room, campsite or holiday home. It weighs 7.5 kg and a wash takes 15 minutes.
Spin speed and drying time
The spin speed determines how much water stays in your clothes after washing. The WASH6W and the WASH6B spin at up to 1000 rpm, spin class C. If you then dry the laundry in a dryer, the rule is: laundry that has been spun well needs less drying time.
Energy class and consumption
Since 2021 the energy class has run from A to G. For washing machines it is based on the eco 40-60 programme, and consumption is shown per 100 washes on the label. The WASH6W and the WASH6B have energy class D and use 65 kWh per 100 washes.
How much you use per year depends on how often you wash and which programme you choose. With the eco 40-60 programme you come closest to the value on the label.
Features you use every day
Quick wash. The fastest programme of the WASH6W and the WASH6B is done in 15 minutes, handy for sportswear or a few shirts you need the same day.
Delayed start. Both machines can start up to 23 hours later, so the laundry is ready when it suits you best.
Child lock. The child lock locks the controls while a programme is running.
Noise. During spinning, both machines reach 76 dB. With delayed start you can schedule that part for a time when it won't disturb you.
Fifteen programmes. From a quick refresh to a thorough cotton wash.
At first installation: remove the transit bolts
A new washing machine is delivered with transit bolts that hold the drum in place during transport. Remove them before running the first wash and keep them with the manual in case you move house. Then set the machine level on a flat floor, so it stays still while spinning. You can read how to connect the machine step by step in installing a new washing machine.
You can find all washing machines currently available under washing and drying.
Frequently asked questions
Where can I find washing machine return deals?
Under return deals. The range changes, because these are returned items. Every return deal comes with the same 24-month manufacturer's warranty as a new item.
Can I send the washing machine back if it doesn't fit?
Yes. You have a 30-day cooling-off period. Do measure the recess and the doorway beforehand, so you know for sure it will fit in its place.
What is the difference between the WASH6W and the WASH6B?
The colour and the longest programme. The WASH6W is white and its longest programme takes 180 minutes; the WASH6B is black with 200 minutes. Load capacity, spin speed, energy class and dimensions are the same. Behind both machines you need a few centimetres of space for the hoses and the plug.
How much water does the WASH6W use per wash?
43 litres per wash. The black WASH6B also uses 43 litres.
How quickly will it be shipped?
Ordered before 21:00 on a working day, shipped the same day. Delivery is always free.
