Load size and type decide the sticker. Example street prices by kg class — freestanding, integrated, washer-dryer — not one “8kg” number.
A washing machine is sold as a load size. The sticker is the kg class plus the install. An 8kg freestanding and an 8kg integrated share a number on the box and almost nothing else. Compare street price by load size and type — freestanding, integrated, washer-dryer — then add delivery, install, and old-machine removal.
These are example ranges only, not surveyed or sourced 2026 prices. A Beko or Hotpoint freestanding at Argos sits toward the bottom of a band; a Bosch, Miele, LG, or Samsung quiet set at Currys or John Lewis sits toward the top. VAT is in the sticker.
Example street prices by load size and type. Street price here is the advertised pound including VAT, before delivery and install. The paired 8–9 kg freestanding and integrated rows are the point: same kg class, different install, different band. The washer-dryer rows split the same way.
Every pound in that table is an example, not a sourced 2026 street price. Delivery, connection, and taking the old machine sit on top of the sticker.
| Load size | Type | Common for | Ex. street price |
|---|---|---|---|
| 6–7 kg | Freestanding | singles / couple / flat | example £180–350 |
| 7–8 kg | Integrated | small fitted kitchen | example £320–600 |
| 8–9 kg | Freestanding | family mainstream | example £280–550 |
| 8–9 kg | Integrated | fitted kitchen family | example £380–750 |
| 10–12 kg | Freestanding | large household | example £400–850 |
| 7–9 kg wash | Freestanding washer-dryer | no separate dryer | example £400–900 |
| 7–9 kg wash | Integrated washer-dryer | fitted, no dryer room | example £500–1,100 |
| 8–9 kg | Premium quiet / A-rated FS | long-life / quiet home | example £650–1,200+ |
Example ranges only, not surveyed or sourced 2026 prices. Street price is the advertised pound including VAT before delivery and install. Same kg class, different install.
Paired 8–9 kg rows keep the install premium visible. A freestanding 8kg and an integrated 8kg are not one band. Washer-dryers split the same way — freestanding vs integrated, not one “washer-dryer” number.
The class is in the model number. The kg mark does not tell you which row you are on.
Currys, John Lewis, Argos, and Amazon often sell slightly different model strings — a machine that looks like the national 8kg and is not quite. The last few characters change. Sometimes it is the programme list or the door; sometimes spin speed or the energy grade drops. Compare the full model number, not the kg class.
Delivery to the room, connection, and taking the old machine change the total. A freestanding that looks cheap online is a two-person drop and a plumbing job at the door. An integrated needs a kitchen fitter as well as the hose-up. John Lewis folds a long guarantee into the tag. AO.com is a delivered-and-installed street price on Bosch, Miele, Hotpoint, Beko, and LG. Amazon is the box price until you add delivery. VAT is already in the advertised pound.
Example only: a 6–7 kg freestanding often £180–£350; 7–8 kg integrated £320–£600; 8–9 kg freestanding £280–£550; 8–9 kg integrated £380–£750; 10–12 kg freestanding £400–£850; 7–9 kg wash freestanding washer-dryer £400–£900; 7–9 kg wash integrated washer-dryer £500–£1,100; 8–9 kg premium quiet / A-rated freestanding £650–£1,200+. VAT in. Example ranges only, not surveyed or sourced 2026 prices.
Same kg class, different install. An 8–9 kg freestanding and an 8–9 kg integrated are different products. The sticker is not one “8kg” number.
Freestanding sits in a utility space or kitchen gap and hooks up to the taps. Integrated hides behind a kitchen door and costs more for the same kg. A washer-dryer washes and dries in one box; the dry load is smaller than the wash kg, and it splits freestanding vs integrated the same way.
The full model number. Currys, John Lewis, Argos, and Amazon often carry slightly different strings that look like the same 8kg machine and are not. Compare the exact string, then the total including delivery, install, and old-machine removal.
Delivery to the room, connection, taking the old machine, and any extra cover beyond the John Lewis long guarantee already in the tag. Amazon is the box price until you add delivery. AO.com often quotes delivered-and-installed. VAT is already in the advertised pound.
Usually. Street price here is the advertised pound including VAT, before delivery and install. Some Currys and AO.com offers bundle room delivery, connection, and removal; others add each line. Get the same model number with the same extras before you compare.
On the box, Amazon can undercut and the tag swings daily. On the street total — delivery, install, removal, a long guarantee — Currys and John Lewis often close the gap. Compare the same model number the same week.
