Glossary

- The middle value of a sorted list. Half of the washing machines cost less and the other half cost more; a very expensive washing machine does not raise it.
- Spec sheet score
- A 0 to 10 score that the Radar calculates from inverter motor and steam. It does not measure what the spec sheet does not show.

Frequently asked questions
What is the median price of a new washing machine today?
In the 06/11/2026 catalog, the median price is $700, across 64 new washing machines from trusted sellers. Half cost less than that and half cost more.
How much does each score point cost?
Today’s collection doesn’t have enough washing machines with a score to calculate this.
Why the median and not the average?
Because a few very expensive washing machines pull the average up and hide the price most people pay. The median shows the washing machine in the middle.
How often does the overview change?
Every day, with each new collection. Each collection saves a snapshot of the price and score of each washing machine, and the "What changed" section compares today’s with the previous one and, when available, with the one from about a week earlier.

Where the numbers come from
Lowest price seen for the product in the stores we read, on the day it was read, before sales tax. Median of each range calculated over the washing machines in the range; the score only considers the washing machines that have a score.
The overview describes the Radar catalog, not the whole washing machines market, and the price is the one collected on the date shown.
