Diwali is here and it is time for home upgrades, and a washing machine can be a practical addition to the festive shopping list. The current deals cover different household needs, from compact 6kg machines for smaller families to 8kg models designed for larger laundry loads. There are also options for buyers who want the convenience of a top-loader or prefer a front-load machine with more wash programmes and higher spin speeds. We have rounded up five washing machine deals from Samsung, LG, Haier, Bosch and IFB, with prices starting at Rs 13,890.
1. Haier Smart Choice 6kg: An Affordable Fully Automatic Option
The Haier Smart Choice 6kg fully automatic top-load washing machine is available for Rs 13,890, against its listed MRP of Rs 22,400. It is the most affordable option in this roundup and could be worth considering for smaller households that want a fully automatic machine without spending too much.
The machine has a five-star energy rating and a stated energy consumption of 0.0095kWh per kg per cycle. It uses Haier’s Oceanus Wave Drum and Near Zero Pressure technology, with a fully stainless steel drum. The 700RPM spin speed is designed to help remove water during the spin cycle, while Haier lists an average-load cycle time of 40 minutes.
It offers eight wash programmes: Wash, Rinse, Spin, Tub Dry, Smart, Soak, Delicate and Quick. The manufacturer lists a two-year comprehensive warranty and a 10-year motor warranty.
The Haier is a practical starting point for buyers who want a fully automatic top-loader at a lower price. Its 6kg capacity may be less suitable for households that regularly wash large loads, so it is worth comparing with the 7kg and 8kg options below before deciding.
2. LG 7kg Smart Inverter: A Top-Loader for Everyday Family Laundry
The LG 7kg 5-star Smart Inverter fully automatic top-load washing machine is listed at Rs 18,990, down from an MRP of Rs 27,490. LG lists it as suitable for households of three to four members, making it a middle-ground option between the compact Haier and the larger 8kg machines.
Its Smart Inverter technology is rated for up to 36% energy savings, while the stated energy consumption is 0.0088kWh per kg per cycle. Water consumption is listed at 17.50L per kg per cycle. The machine has a 740RPM spin speed and a semi-stainless steel drum, with a steel body.
The LG offers eight programmes, including Normal, Quick Wash, Gentle, Strong, Pre-wash+Normal, Rinse+, Aqua Reserve and Tub Clean. Its TurboDrum technology uses the drum and pulsator rotating in opposite directions to create a strong water stream during washing. The manufacturer lists a two-year product warranty and a 10-year motor warranty, subject to terms and conditions.
Compared with the Haier, the LG offers more capacity and a higher listed spin speed, but it also costs more. It is worth considering if you need a 7kg machine for regular family laundry and want a wider selection of wash programmes.
3. Samsung Smart Choice 8kg: A Larger Top-Loader for Families
The Samsung Smart Choice 8kg fully automatic top-load washing machine is available for Rs 19,990, against its listed MRP of Rs 27,000. Its 8kg capacity makes it one of the larger options in this roundup and a suitable model to consider for households that regularly wash bigger loads.
It has a five-star energy rating and a stated energy consumption of 0.0083kWh per kg per cycle. The machine uses EcoBubble wash technology and a Digital Inverter motor. It has a 700RPM spin speed, a Diamond drum and a Dual Storm pulsator. The drum is listed as stainless steel, while the body is plastic.
The Samsung offers six named wash programmes, including Bedding, Delicates, Eco Tub Clean and Energy Saving, with Normal, Quick Wash and Jeans listed as additional cycles. It also comes with a soft-closing door, which may be useful in everyday use.
Warranty coverage includes two years of comprehensive product warranty and 10 years on the Digital Inverter motor, subject to terms and conditions. The previously advertised 20-year motor warranty applied only to purchases made between 1 December 2022 and 31 March 2026, so it should not be treated as applicable to this current deal.
At Rs 19,990, the Samsung is worth considering if you want an 8kg top-loader with EcoBubble technology and a five-star rating. It offers more capacity than the LG 7kg model for a relatively small price difference, although the LG has a higher listed spin speed.
4. Bosch 8kg Front Load: Higher Spin Speed and More Wash Programmes
The Bosch 8kg 5-star fully automatic front-load washing machine is listed at Rs 29,990, compared with its MRP of Rs 48,190. It is the most expensive machine in this roundup, but it also has a different configuration from the top-load models: a front-loading design, a 1,400RPM spin speed and 15 wash programmes.
Bosch lists AI Active Water Plus technology, designed around water and energy efficiency. The machine has a rust-resistant stainless steel drum, a toughened glass door and an EcoSilence Drive brushless motor. Its 1,400RPM spin speed is the highest listed among these five models and is intended to extract more water during the spin cycle, which can help reduce drying time.
The 15 programmes include Quick 15/30, Steam/Anti Bacteria, Freshen Up, Shirts, Jeans/Dark Wash, Sportswear, Spin/Drum, Cotton, Cottons 60° Label, Synthetics, Mix Load, Delicates/Silk, Wool, Drum Descale and Rinse. Bosch lists a two-year product warranty and a 12-year motor warranty.
The Bosch costs considerably more than the Samsung 8kg top-loader, so the choice is not just about capacity. Buyers who want a front-load machine, a higher spin speed and a wide selection of programmes may find the Bosch worth considering. Those who mainly need a larger capacity at a lower upfront price may prefer the Samsung.
5. IFB 6kg Front Load: A Focus on Fabric Care and Steam Refresh
The IFB 6kg 5-star fully automatic front-load washing machine is available for Rs 24,990, against its listed MRP of Rs 34,490. It is positioned for smaller households, with IFB listing it as suitable for families of two to three members, including those with children or elderly members.
The machine uses DeepClean technology and has a five-star energy rating. Its listed energy consumption is 0.050kWh per kg per cycle, while water consumption is stated as up to 8.3L per kg per cycle. It has a 1,000RPM spin speed and a super-silent BLDC motor. IFB also lists up to 40% energy savings and up to 50% water savings; these are manufacturer claims, so buyers should refer to the product’s energy label and usage conditions for details.
The IFB offers 11 programmes, including Mix/Daily, Cotton, Synthetic, Baby Wear, Steam Refresh, Express 15′, Bulky/Bedding/Curtains/Duvet, Wool, Cradle Wash, SpinDry/Rinse and Tub Clean. Its crescent moon drum design is intended to create a protective water cushion around fabrics during washing.
Warranty coverage is a notable part of the package: IFB lists four years of comprehensive product warranty, 10 years on the motor and 10 years of spare-parts assurance. The company also claims that its DeepClean technology helps clothes last 30% longer.
The IFB is worth considering if you want a front-load machine with steam refresh, a dedicated Baby Wear programme and extended warranty coverage. Its 6kg capacity, however, is smaller than the Bosch 8kg model, so household size and typical laundry loads should guide the choice.
Which Washing Machine Should You Buy This Diwali?
- Haier Smart Choice 6kg: Consider it if you want a fully automatic top-loader at the lowest price in this roundup.
- LG Smart Inverter 7kg: A practical option for households of three to four members that want a 7kg capacity and several everyday wash programmes.
- Samsung Smart Choice 8kg: Worth considering for larger loads, EcoBubble technology and an 8kg capacity without moving to the price of a front-load machine.
- Bosch 8kg Front Load: The option to shortlist if you want a front-loader, a 1,400RPM spin speed and a broad selection of wash programmes.
- IFB 6kg Front Load: A fit for smaller households that value steam refresh, fabric-care features and the listed extended warranty coverage.
Our Take: The Samsung Smart Choice 8kg looks like a strong option for families that need a larger capacity but want to stay around Rs 20,000. The LG 7kg offers a useful middle ground for smaller households, while Haier keeps the entry price low for buyers moving to a fully automatic machine. If you are specifically looking for a front-loader, the Bosch brings the largest capacity and highest listed spin speed, whereas the IFB offers steam refresh and longer listed warranty coverage. The best deal depends on whether you need more capacity, a front-load design or a lower upfront cost.
Things to Check Before Buying a Washing Machine This Diwali
- Capacity: Consider your household size and how much laundry you usually wash in one cycle.
- Top load or front load: Compare the machine’s design, available space and the type of washing experience you prefer.
- Energy and water consumption: Check the BEE label and the stated consumption figures, rather than relying only on the star rating.
- Spin speed: A higher RPM can help extract more water, but it does not guarantee that clothes will be completely dry.
- Wash programmes: Look for cycles that suit your regular laundry, such as Quick Wash, Delicates, Bedding or Baby Wear.
- Warranty: Read the product and motor warranty terms carefully. Check whether registration or an invoice is needed for a claim.
- Festive deal price: Compare the final checkout price across retailers and check eligible bank offers. A large discount from MRP does not necessarily mean the best value.
- Delivery and installation: Confirm any charges, installation requirements and service availability before ordering.
