Washing Machine

Mary108

Hi all

I hope this is the correct place for this post

I'm at my wits end looking to buy a new free standing washing machine which has a quick (1 hour or less) cycle which will wash at 60 degrees C.

Can anyone help please?

Many thanks

Hi, the below washing machines have 60 degrees C washing in an hour or less, they are both available on Amazon

Indesit MyTime MTWC81495WUK
Bosch Series 6 WGG254Z0GB

Hope this helps

Thank you! I have no idea how you worked that out but I'm very grateful indeed. The Bosch is too expensive but the Indesit looks great!

Just out of interest, why do you need a 60 degree wash?  Modern washing pods/liquid/powder are designed to work well at 20-40 degrees.  It's cheaper to run and better for the environment

Maybe bedding needs changing often or creams applies that are flammable so need extra heat to try and remove them off clothing/bedding?

60 degrees will kill bacteria and remove stains better in heavily soiled items.  I always wash towels and sheets at 60

When the cost of electricity was sky high, I experimented using cold wash pods at 20/30 degrees.  Laundry was fine (nothing really heavy duty) but after a couple of weeks the washer control panel started flashing a red cross.  Turned out to be a 'hygiene warning', and the solution was to run a couple of hot washes to keep the machine clean and prevent any nasty niffs.  

40 degrees for clothes, 60 degrees for sheets and towels, and the odd de-scale at 90 degrees.
