A washing machine saves hours every week. This guide explains the types, capacities and typical prices so you can choose the right one in Kenya.
Types of washing machines
- Semi-automatic (twin tub): cheaper and water-efficient, but you move clothes between wash and spin tubs.
- Fully automatic top-load: load from the top, one-touch cycles — convenient and popular.
- Fully automatic front-load: best wash quality and efficiency, usually the premium option.
Typical washing machine prices in Kenya
As a rough guide, semi-automatic machines often range from around KSh 15,000–30,000, while fully automatic top- and front-load machines typically start from around KSh 35,000 upwards. Capacity (kg) and brand drive the price.
What to look for
- Capacity: 6–7kg suits most families; larger for big households.
- Spin speed: higher RPM means drier clothes.
- Water and energy use: front-loaders are the most efficient.
