Sources and method
Specifications are from the Australian Government's GEMS registration database (export 24 Oct 2026); dimensions and spin speeds missing from the registry come from retailer spec sheets, and the registry's figure is used where both exist. Prices are from the retailers shown, on the dates shown. Running costs apply 32¢/kWh to the registry's labelled test program, which assumes one warm wash a day; household bills vary with use and tariff.
