Meet the passionate team dedicated to helping Australian households master their laundry
Best Laundry Australia was founded in 2024 by a small group of home appliance enthusiasts who shared a common frustration: finding reliable, unbiased information about laundry products in Australia was surprisingly difficult. Most online content was either manufacturer-sponsored, overly technical, or simply irrelevant to Australian conditions and retailers.
We set out to change that. What began as a passion project—comparing washing machine spin speeds and debating the merits of heat pump versus condenser dryers over countless cups of coffee—has grown into Australia's trusted independent resource for laundry advice. Our team has collectively spent hundreds of hours researching products, testing detergents, and understanding the technology that powers modern laundry appliances.
Unlike large comparison websites that simply aggregate specifications, we take a hands-on approach to understanding laundry products. Our team members are genuine enthusiasts who understand the difference between a direct drive motor and a belt-driven system, why WELS water ratings matter for Australian households, and how different detergent formulations perform in our unique water conditions across the country.
We evaluate products through the lens of real Australian households. Whether you're a busy parent in Melbourne dealing with muddy sports uniforms, a professional in a Sydney apartment with limited space, or a retiree in Perth looking for reliability and ease of use, we consider diverse needs in our recommendations. We also factor in local availability, warranty support, and access to service technicians—practical considerations that international reviews often overlook.
We believe in transparency. When we recommend a product, we explain exactly why it stands out. We consider factors like energy efficiency (critical for Australian electricity prices), noise levels (important for open-plan living), cycle times, and long-term reliability based on user feedback and industry data. We also acknowledge trade-offs—there's no perfect product for everyone, and we help you understand what compromises might suit your situation.
Our content covers the full laundry ecosystem: from choosing the right washing machine capacity for your household size, to understanding fabric care labels, maintaining your appliances for longevity, and implementing eco-friendly practices that reduce your environmental footprint. We're particularly passionate about helping Australians reduce water and energy consumption without sacrificing cleaning performance.
Best Laundry Australia is committed to remaining independent and honest. While we do participate in affiliate programs (including Amazon Associates) that help fund our research and content creation, our recommendations are never influenced by commission rates. We recommend products we genuinely believe offer value, and we're always transparent about our affiliate relationships.
We update our content regularly to reflect new product releases, price changes, and evolving best practices. The laundry appliance market moves quickly—new technologies like AI-powered wash cycles and smart home integration are constantly emerging—and we stay on top of these developments so you don't have to.
Our small but dedicated team brings together expertise in home appliances, sustainability, and consumer advocacy. We're based across Australia, giving us perspective on the diverse needs of households from tropical Queensland to temperate Tasmania.
