What washing machines are worth
What lifts the price
- A drum with no bearing rumble on the spin cycle
- Original hoses and any remaining warranty
What pulls it down
- Bearing noise, which effectively ends the machine’s life
- Ground-floor-only access, which limits who can collect
Working out what yours is worth
- Run a full spin cycle and listen for rumbling or grinding
- Check the door seal and drum for mould and limescale
Getting it ready
- Run a short cycle and watch the whole thing: fill, wash, drain and spin. Note any grinding, banging or leaking.
- Find the model number on the door frame or rear, and locate the transit bolts if you still have them.

Put in the description
- Brand, model number, drum capacity in kg and spin speed in rpm
- Approximate age, and any repairs or replaced parts
Brand, capacity and spin speed are the search: “Bosch 8kg 1400rpm Washing Machine, Working”. Capacity in kilograms matters to families and is often left out. If it is integrated rather than freestanding, that must be in the title — it fits an entirely different kitchen.
Listing is free and there is no selling fee, so the whole amount the buyer pays stays with you. You and the buyer agree the handover between yourselves.
