Energy stars and the BIS mark
The government has made BIS certification mandatory for washing machines, and the BEE energy label is mandatory under the EC Act and BEE regulations; most listings show five stars. The standard IS 302-2-7 applies to washing machines, so look for the BIS mark and the star label on the exact model you choose, not only in the advert.
Warranty: what the motor covers
Warranties differ by motor and part. One LG semi-automatic model has a five-year wash motor warranty for machines made from January 2020. Bosch's top-load motor gets eight years on top of the standard two. Samsung and Godrej also offer extended cover on some models. Ask the seller which part is covered for how long, and get the warranty card for the exact model number.
Wet season, drying and spin speed
India's climate is tropical, with a wet season and a dry season rather than winter and summer. In the wet season, clothes take longer to dry indoors, so compare spin speed in RPM across models, because a faster spin removes more water before drying starts. Check whether the model has a delivery-ready size for the room where it will stand.
Delivery and fit at home
Measure the space and the doorway in centimetres before you choose between top load and front load, and allow for the height of a front loader. Ask each seller in Mumbai, Delhi, Bengaluru, Hyderabad or Chennai whether delivery and installation are included in the price.
