Sustainable choice

Over the last decade, appliance customers have embraced all that high efficiency technology has to offer.

Now 90% of you choose fridge freezers at the top of the energy rating scale and 80% of you buy the most eco-efficient washing machines out there. These are very smart choices! Take fridge freezers, for example, if you purchased a high efficiency model today it uses 40% less energy than the average model in homes a decade ago and will cost just £41, or less, a year to run!

Sustainable tech

As well as being highly efficient, constant innovation in new cutting-edge features make the machines we rely on every day as sustainable as possible, easy to maintain, safe, effective – oh and cost less to run! Surely a blessing as we juggle job, family, friends, activities AND household chores.
