Spin speed is key to achieving cleaner, drier clothes, so this guide helps to explain more about it.

Choosing a washing machine with higher spin speeds comes with a myriad of benefits, making laundry day more efficient and enjoyable. Higher spin speeds, usually between 1400 to 1600 RPM, effectively remove more water from your clothes, reducing drying times significantly. Imagine being able to wear your favourite outfits sooner, allowing you more time to snuggle up with loved ones or tackle your to-do list!

Additionally, using higher spin speeds can lead to improved energy efficiency. With less time needed in the dryer, you’ll save on energy bills while being kinder to the environment.
