The Sensis range
| Appliance | What's in the range | Worth checking |
|---|
| Washing machines | Freestanding and integrated models, and a washer dryer. | Eco-Logic for small loads, quick washes, Allergy Safe, and the gentle Pearl drum. |
| Tumble dryers | Condenser and heat pump models. | Sensor drying that stops when the load is dry, and anti-crease tumbling afterwards. |
| Fridge freezers | Freestanding Total NoFrost models, plus integrated 70/30 and 50/50 versions. | Electronic temperature control and a salad drawer with humidity control. |
| Fridges | Undercounter fridges (some with an ice box, some without) and an integrated larder fridge. | LED lights and doors you can rehang. |
| Freezers | Tall, chest and undercounter freezers, and an integrated undercounter model. | Low Frost for less ice, and garage-ready models. |
| Dishwashers | Freestanding full-size and slimline machines, and a 60cm integrated one. | A 30-minute quick wash, half-load option and a height-adjustable upper basket. |
Freezing in a garage
A standard freezer can stop working properly in a cold garage, because the air around it falls below the range it was designed for. Several Sensis freezers, the chest models and the tall freezer among them, are made to keep going in an outbuilding down to -15°C. If your freezer is heading for the garage, make sure its product page describes it as suitable for outbuildings.
Condenser or heat pump?
A heat pump dryer recycles warm air, which cuts its electricity use dramatically, though each cycle runs a little longer. A condenser dryer is cheaper to buy and quicker, but uses more power. Neither needs venting: water collects in a tank for you to empty, and many can be plumbed to drain away. On the Sensis heat pump dryers you'll also find fast express programmes, plus a baby care cycle that runs hotter to deal with bacteria and allergens.
Freestanding or integrated?
Freestanding appliances slot into a gap and are simple to replace later on. Integrated ones hide behind a door that matches your units. On the Sensis integrated fridge freezers and dishwasher, that door is fitted with a sliding hinge and glides on a runner as you open it. For the larder fridge, it's a door-on-door fixing instead. Make sure your kitchen doors and cabinets work with that fitting before ordering.
Low Frost and Total NoFrost
Total NoFrost stops ice forming in both the fridge and freezer, so there's no manual defrosting at all. Low Frost freezers still need defrosting now and then, but ice builds up more slowly, so the job comes round less often.
Before you buy
- Measure carefully. Check height, width and depth, plus the height beneath the worktop if it's an undercounter model. Keep the ventilation gaps given in the instructions.
- Check the plumbing. Washers and dishwashers need a cold supply and a waste pipe nearby.
- Choose the door side. On most Sensis fridges and freezers the door can be swapped to the other side, so decide which way suits your room.
- Measure the route. Tall fridge freezers and chest freezers need clear doorways and corners.

Sensis: your questions answered
Can a Sensis freezer go in my garage?
Some can: the tall freezer and the chest models are built for outbuildings at down to -15°C. Make sure the product page confirms it.
What is Eco-Logic?
A feature on Sensis washing machines that reduces energy use automatically when the load is small.
Heat pump or condenser dryer?
Heat pump models cost more upfront but use far less electricity. Condenser models are cheaper and faster but use more. Neither needs a vent.
What does Total NoFrost mean?
Ice doesn't build up in either compartment, so you never have to defrost by hand.
How do the integrated models fit?
By two methods: a sliding hinge on the fridge freezers and the dishwasher, and a door-on-door fixing on the larder fridge. Each product page gives the details.
Can you install Sensis appliances?
Freestanding ones, yes, within our installation area, with recycling of your old appliance; both show in the basket with their prices. Integrated models are fitted by your kitchen fitter with a door that matches your units.
