Australian Washing Machines '25

My dumb washer dryer combo machine, an Ariston ARWD582WAU, died on me after 5 years of usage yesterday as such I am now in the market for a new one.

I did a quick look up of a thread or two and saw a recommendation for LG and Samsung ones but I wanted to post up to see if there are other options for ones that are similar in size that I could use smart features out of the box with HA to monitor my washing cycles etc.

I was looking at this one just now as well but am not sure how well it would work in HA:

Samsung 9kg/6kg AddWash Washer Dryer Combo | Harvey Norman

As for LG I see that there is this model and the SmartThinQ LGE Sensors is easier to integrate and manage it looks like compared to the Samsung version with smartthings.

Will see what else is out there come time to look in the stores and whats in stock.

edit: looks like my mum wants to get me a non combo setup so will see and list what we end up going with and see if its able to be used with HA directly or going the smartplug and door sensor route like with the Ariston.

Looks like I am getting the fisher and paykel washing machine and dyer units. the models specifically are:

DE6060M2 and WH8060J3

As much as I would of liked to get a setup that was smart out the box I will have to just use the smartplug and door path to do cycle tracking… see how long these two units last since those smart units are large for what was in stock when we look today and I did not have the space for them heh.’

I’ll keep this thread open for those that want to use it as a place to post of new systems they find around locations and ways of implementing them into HA.
