When your washing machine breaks down, loved ones or a laundrette can lighten the load. But unlike, say, a new hairdryer, you might assume a large appliance can’t be replaced as easily. Having a full laundry basket before sports day might halt the family schedule temporarily, but trying to mindfully recycle your old washer while sourcing a replacement can be a hurdle in itself.
As the UK’s most trusted electrical retailer*, AO can help you navigate through the world of washing machines, without confusing jargon or jumping through hoops. AO can identify the right appliance for you, just in time for the big spring clean and Easter festivities.
From chocolate eggs to roast dinner gravy stains, this is the season of get-togethers and new beginnings. But be warned, alfresco dining and garden barbecues can come with lots of return trips to “Destination Stain central”. It only takes one squirt of ketchup to cause carnage on tablecloths, or a drippy burger for a white t-shirt disaster. So instead of hopping to the shops to replace an outfit or expensive linen, isn’t it time you found an appliance that promised quick and clean results?
And, while you may have tackled the visible culprits, let’s not forget the one offender that returns for at least six months of the year: pollen. This pesky powdery substance can linger on clothes long after you’ve enjoyed your time outside, causing runny noses, itchy eyes, and tickly throats. Antihistamine treatments are one thing, but did you know that a good washing machine with a powerful steam function will fight your battle against tree, grass, and weed pollen types for you, as a medicine-free, holistic alternative to sprays and tablet treatments?
AO also understands that an old, broken washing machine isn't exactly the surprise you want when partaking in your easter egg hunt outdoors. So to ensure this doesn't happen, they have Europe's largest recycling plant ready to repurpose your goods. As the old adage goes, one man's trash is another man's treasure!
AO's no-quibble 30-day return policy
So, if it’s time to replace your appliance — don’t panic. AO delivers thousands of electrical items seven days a week at a time that suits you. There’s even a no-quibble, 30-day return policy if you’re unsatisfied. Spot an appliance cheaper anywhere else? Not on AO’s watch! AO will price-match your pick whether you’ve clocked the product for less elsewhere or will refund you the difference if you’ve already bought it.**
No need to play tug of war between quality and affordability. Investing in a washing machine so early in the year might seem daunting, but there are a range of ways to pay including AO Finance.
