A less awkward way to sell
The value is in the washing machine, not the message thread.
Private marketplaces can work, but they often involve writing an advert, answering similar questions several times, arranging viewings and dealing with uncertain buyers. Zarax gives you a single route from the first description through to inspection and payment.
The process is deliberately straightforward. Share accurate information and clear photographs, then we can decide whether the item is something we want to buy. Read how a Zarax quotation progresses before you begin if you would like the full picture.
What shapes the offer
Six details help turn your washing machine into a realistic valuation.
A precise model matters, but it is only one part of the assessment.
Brand, model and stated age
Mention what is present, what works and anything that a photograph alone may not explain.
Wash, spin and drain operation
Mention what is present, what works and anything that a photograph alone may not explain.
Drum, seal and control condition
Mention what is present, what works and anything that a photograph alone may not explain.
Hoses, fittings and known error codes
Mention what is present, what works and anything that a photograph alone may not explain.
Safe disconnection and collection access
Mention what is present, what works and anything that a photograph alone may not explain.
An honest description helps avoid surprises when the item is inspected. Our guide to how condition can influence an offer explains why small details are worth including.

03
Before the handover
Prepare the item without making the job bigger than it needs to be.

Clean the item enough for its condition, labels and fittings to be assessed.
02
Photograph every side, the model label, accessories and any visible wear.
03
Measure doorways, stairs and the route from the item to the nearest suitable exit.
If the item needs to be sent, use the private instructions we provide and follow our packaging guidance. Do not send anything until Zarax has confirmed that it wishes to proceed.

Customer feedback
Real experiences from people who sold their washing machine through Zarax.
The washing machine did not fit our new utility space. Zarax arranged collection and paid after checking it.
I provided the drum capacity, spin speed and details of a scratched side panel. Zarax asked about plumbing and access before collection. The handover was organised and payment followed inspection.
Our washing machine was reliable but a few centimetres too deep for the new house. I photographed the control panel, drum, hoses and the scratches along one side, and included the model and age. Zarax reviewed the information before confirming interest. They discussed disconnection and access rather than leaving those details until collection. The machine matched my description, and the agreed amount was transferred.
Move-out week had enough jobs already. Getting the washer assessed and collected took one heavy item off the list.
It completed every cycle, though the detergent drawer was stained and the spin sounded louder than before. I made both points clear.
Our rental flat came with a washing machine, so the one we owned suddenly needed a new home. It was dependable, with a recently replaced inlet hose, but the door rim had rust spots and the fastest spin was noisy. I sent the capacity, dimensions and a video of a short cycle. Zarax arranged collection, confirmed the condition and paid the agreed amount.
Useful questions
Before you part with your washing machine.
These answers cover the parts of the process people usually want to confirm before requesting a quote.
Value my washing machineStart with the brand, full model number, specifications and an honest description of the condition. Add clear photographs of the item, label, accessories and any faults.
Potentially, yes. Acceptance depends on the item and the fault. Explain exactly what happens when it is switched on or used, and show the damaged area clearly.
Not always. The original packaging, power supply, remote, manuals or matching accessories can provide useful context, so list everything that is included.
Collection may be available when it is appropriate for the item and location. We will discuss access and the handover privately if we are interested in proceeding.
Payment follows receipt or collection and inspection. If the item matches the agreed details, Zarax pays the agreed amount by bank transfer or PayPal. If anything differs materially, we contact you first.
