With just weeks to go before the main event begins, Black Friday offers are starting to trickle in from myriad brands and retailers. If you’re looking for a washing machine deal this Black Friday, I’ll be compiling top offers in the lead-up and during the main event.
In terms of which retailers’s sales have started, home appliance heavyweights such as Currys, Argos, AO, Amazon and John Lewis have jumped the gun with early Black Friday discounts. Of course, it’s not just home appliances that are seeing discounts. Beauty, mattresses, toys and much more are also reduced with offers available at the likes of Boots and Lookfantastic.
If you’re in a spin about which model is worth spending money on, I’ll be searching for deals on washing machines from brands that we trust – some of which will have been tested by the team in their own homes. So without further ado, here are some of the best offers I’ve seen so far.

What date will Black Friday washing machine deals start?
This year, the Black Friday sales officially start on Friday 29 November. The four-day event continues until the following Monday (aka Cyber Monday). That being said, I’m already seeing brands and retailers such as Dyson and Boots jump the gun and launch their Black Friday deals weeks in advance. As for deals on washing machines, home appliance giant Currys has started dropping Black Friday deals already, as has John Lewis. Needless to say, I’ll be keeping an eye out for the best washing machine deals as the event edges closer.
What Black Friday washing machine deals can we expect in 2024?
I can only speculate when it comes to potential deals we could see on washing machines this year. However, looking back to previous years’ offers, I can speculate about what we could expect from Black Friday 2024. For example, last year, £100 was sliced off the price of the Indesit BWA81684XKUKN washing machine (was £399, Very.co.uk), so, I’ll be keeping my eyes peeled for similar savings this year.
What are the best washing machine deals to shop now?
If you can’t wait until Black Friday to replace your old machine, we’ve rounded up some deals available to shop right now.
LG TurboWash 360 washing machine: Was £619, now £419, Currys.co.uk
Clean up with a whopping £200 saving on this LG machine. While the team hasn’t tested this model at IndyBest before, some of its standout features include a steam function to oust nearly all germs from your clothes, and an AI feature able to figure out the best wash to do, based on the weight and softness of clothing, which sounds pretty smart to us.
AEG 9000 absolutecare washing machine: Was £1,149, now £1,099.99, Aeg.co.uk
If you live in a hard water area, this could be the washing machine for you, especially now that it’s discounted by a modest £50. Our reviewer dubbed this model as the best for hard water areas, owing to the fact you can add salt to soften the water, resulting in “super soft” fabrics. Especially impressive, a 49-minute program meant that a load could be washed at 30C and it still came “out as fresh and clean as if it had been run on a more intensive program”.
Our review praised this washing machine for the fact that it uses as little water as possible, while also being one of the best on test when it came to washing performance. “We were pleased with the impressive range of programs, including allergy care, refresh and hand wash, and found it to be one of the simplest machines to operate,” noted our reviewer. And with this discount, there’s a hefty £180 saving to be had.
Samsung series 5 SpaceMax washing machine: Was £619, now £499, Currys.co.uk
Here’s a (nearly) £100 saving on a Samsung washing machine, with what the brand has named “spacemax”, a feature that means the washing machine doesn’t have to be large to accommodate a large drum. You’ll be able to wash your clothes at low temperatures, and, if the laundry basket is full to the brim, you can use the speedy 39-minute washing cycles.
Dubbed the best budget buy in our tried and tested review, this Hoover H-wash 500 had a generous drum capacity that was “fantastic for tackling large laundry loads and would be ideal for big families”, our tester said. “We felt this machine also had a wider door than some others, which made for particularly easy loading”, they added. Other highlights include the fitness program for sweaty gym gear and the whites program for towels and bedding. Right now, it’s 33 per cent off at Amazon.
Hotpoint NSWA 946 WW UK 9kg washing machine: Was £399, now £299, Ao.com
You can save a cool £50 on this washing machine from Hotpoint. It features an anti stain cycle to get rid of stains, and an anti-allergy option to get rid of common allergens such as dust mites and pollen. Plus you’ll be able to turn to the Full Load 45 program when you’re in a rush, which is said to clean a load of laundry in just 45 minutes.
