Hoover and Candy washing machine brands have come out with slim design washing machines which can save considerable space. These washers will suit people in the city, living in apartments, where space management within the house is very critical.

While regular washing machines come with a depth of about 55-70cm, these slim depth washing machines measure only 40cm deep. Plus, despite their slim design, they can take a load of about 6-7kg at one time. This makes them the “largest capacity slim depth models on the market”, according to a report in Which?.

These are the prices for which these washers are available in the UK:-

• Hoover OPHS612 washing machine with 6kg capacity, priced at £249.99 at Currys.
• Candy GOFS262 washing machine with 6kg capacity, priced at £239.97 at Tesco.
• Hoover OPHS712DF washing machine with 7kg capacity, priced at £332.49 at Comet.
• Candy GOFS272 washing machine with 7kg capacity, priced at £323 at EmpireDirect.
