For the contemporary family who demand technology that is both style and eco-conscious, investing in a washing machine that looks good isn’t enough. Choosing an energy-efficient model that cares for clothes, delivers high-standard results, is easy to operate and kind to the environment, is key.

With sleek German design, the buttons on every Grundig appliance were inspired by the elegance of piano keys yet, with family life and eco credentials at the heart of the brand, this styling is not at the expense of substance. The impressive spec across its products is ideally suited to today’s eco-conscious household.

The latest appliance in its laundry range, the GWN49630CW washing machine, boasts an A+++ energy-efficiency rating and a 9kg drum, perfect for family-sized loads. But its real beauty lies in its time-saving functions. With busy lifestyles in mind, the QuickWash 40 option offers a 40C wash for a full 9kg load in 40 minutes. And as its highest spin speed results in minimal water left in your laundry, it helps your linens dry more quickly afterwards.

The machine’s innovative SenseWash technology senses the weight and type of laundry in the drum; automatically adjusting the water and electricity consumption, and programme duration to optimum levels. Another useful setting, the Anti Allergy programme – endorsed by Allergy UK – is specifically designed for allergy sufferers or people with sensitive skin.

Coming with a five-year warranty, investing in a Grundig product allows you the freedom to concentrate on what really matters, safe in the knowledge that your clothing care is covered.
