Feel like your day’s swallowed up by washing, cooking, and cleaning? All that’s part of running a household, but it shouldn’t take up all your time. The fix? Knowing which home appliances are actually worth the investment.
A few smart choices in the laundry or kitchen can save you time, cut down stress, and make everything a whole lot easier to manage. So, if you’re due for an upgrade, here are the white goods that really pull their weight and help you win back some time and sanity.
Smart Washing Machines
A smart washing machine helps you stay on top of laundry. Some models come with steam and allergy settings that offer a deeper clean. And with app control, you can start or monitor a load from your phone, which makes it easier to manage the washing while you get on with the rest of your day.
A larger drum also lets you fit more into one cycle instead of running smaller loads over and over. This saves you time and cuts down on how often you need to think about the washing.

Fast-Drying Clothes Dryers
When it’s raining or you’ve got limited outdoor space, a clothes dryer takes the stress out of laundry. You can get through a full load overnight or prep workwear and gym gear for the next day.
Today’s dryers also make it easier to save energy, with quick-dry settings for busy days and heat pump models that use less power for everyday loads. Many have sensors that stop the cycle once your clothes are ready, so you’re not wasting electricity or risking damaged fabrics.

Spacious Fridges
Choosing a fridge with the right layout keeps food sorted and easy to find. To make the most of the space, look for adjustable shelves and humidity drawers, so you can store fruit, vegetables, and snacks in a way that suits your routine. For meal prep or bulk groceries, deep compartments give you plenty of room without the cramming.
If your household is bigger, French-door or side-by-side designs offer better visibility and room to spare. And with better cooling systems keeping food fresher for longer, your groceries can last longer.
Time-Saving Dishwashers
Cleaning up after meals takes time, but a dishwasher helps you get it done faster. To cut down on waiting, quick-wash settings have plates and lunch boxes ready in under an hour. There are also adjustable racks that help you load more in one go, including large cookware, so there’s no need to waste time on multiple cycles.
Shop White Goods That Work For You
Investing in white goods that suit your space, schedule, and budget can streamline your tasks. Whether it’s getting through the laundry faster or keeping your weekly meal prep organised, the right appliances make it easier to stay on top of it all.
You’ll find a wide range of appliances like washing machines, clothes dryers and fridges online or in-store at JB Hi-Fi, Australia’s largest consumer electronics retailer. With the right setup in place, it’s easier to save time and stay organised.
