Officially, the Black Friday sales don’t start until next week, on 29 November. And yet, countless deals are already live, both on brand’s sites (see the likes of Shark, Dyson and Samsung) or on third-party retailer sites, with the likes of Argos, Currys and Amazon’s sales now well underway.
If you’re in a spin about which model is worth spending money on, this shopping guide has you covered. Myself and the team will be tracking down the best deals throughout the event – in particular, I’ll be looking models from The Independent‘s tried and trusted home appliance brands.
Right now, you can save £200 on models from LG (now £419, Currys.co.uk) and Asko (now £1,799, Hughes.co.uk), while you can also save £50 when you buy our favourite washing machine for hard water areas, the AEG 9000 absolutecare washing machine (now £1,099.99, Aeg.co.uk).
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. I’d recommend using our dedicated shopping guides, which we’ll be updating frequently, or following along with our liveblog, where you’ll find all the latest updates.
So without further ado, here are some of the best washing machine offers I’ve seen so far.

Best washing machine deals in Black Friday sale
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.
Asko steel seal washing machine: Was £1,999, now £1,799.00, Hughes.co.uk
While this washing machine from Asko is undeniably pricey, you can get it for a deflated price of £1,799, down from nearly £2,000, thanks to this £200 discount. In our review, it was dubbed the best top-end washing machine, with a whopping 26 programs, including one for allergies. Our tester also appreciated the stain-removal feature, which meant they could “select an option depending on the stains [they] were hoping to remove, including everything from blueberry to blood.”
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”.
Samsung series 7 AI energy WW11DB7B94GEU1 smart washing machine: Was £799, now £729, Samsung.com
Samsung has kicked off its Black Friday sale with deals on everything from phones to washing machines. Using AI to limit energy consumption, this model houses a large 11kg drum and should be able to wash well at low temperatures. We haven’t reviewed it, but a similar model, the Samsung series 8, was the best smart washing machine in our review, and boasts the brand’s impressive AI capabilities, so it’s safe to say you’ll be in good hands with the sereis 7 – even better, it’s reduced by £70.
Hisense 3 series WFQA8014EVJMT 8kg washing machine: Was £359, now £289, Ao.com
Over at AO, you’ll save £70 when you buy this Hisense washing machine. As for features, it should be able to remove even stubborn dirt, owing to the purejet function. There’s a steam setting, to remove allergens and reduce laundry creasing, and the machine lets you pause the cycle if you’ve forgotten to something more to the load.
Bosch WGG244ZCGB series 6: Was £699, now £599, Amazon.co.uk
While this isn’t technically a Black Friday deal, Amazon’s discount sees this washing machine from Bosch discounted by £100. It boasts an energy class A, which means it’s energy efficient, and it can be set to wash a laundry load at speed (Bosch says up to 65 per cent faster). There’s a steam function to make clothes easier to iron, while the machine only uses the water necessary for the size of the load.
Ebac E-care cold fill: Was £819.99, now £639, Electricaldiscountuk.co.uk
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 £120 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.
Hoover H-wash 500: Was £699, now £549, Amazon.co.uk
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 21 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.
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, Argos and Amazon. Needless to say, I’ll be keeping an eye out for the best washing machine deals as the event edges closer.
