I used to dread sorting laundry but this Joseph Joseph basket has changed everything – and it’s currently £50 off on Amazon right now

Laundry is one of those tasks that seems to multiply overnight in my house. With two young kids, a husband who goes through endless gym kit and the usual mountain of towels and bedding, our laundry basket is always full.

Aside from the washing itself, the bit I always dread is the sorting of it all. It was always a bit chaotic until I discovered Joseph Joseph Tota Laundry Separation basket, which Amazon has reduced to £76.39 as part of the early Amazon Prime Day deals, from its usual £125 RRP on Joseph Joseph’s website. That’s nearly 40% off and the lowest price I’ve seen it reduced, making it the perfect moment to upgrade if you’re also tired of wrestling with laundry piles like I was.

Instead of one cavernous basket, it’s split into two equal compartments so all of us can throw things straight into the right side as soon as they come off. That means the hard work is already done for me. Here’s why it’s different to other laundry baskets out there.

I love Joseph Joseph as a brand because of their clever designs that actually solve little niggles. Their laundry gadgets are staples in our utility, and that includes the Tota. However, as with most clever designs, it isn’t always cheap.

And this Amazon Big Deal Days price feels like such good value. At £76.39, it’s one of the lowest prices I’ve seen for the 90L version.

Yes, there are plenty of laundry baskets out there, but what sets the Tota apart are the little design touches that make the whole job of managing laundry easier.

There are little removable tote bags with handles, so instead of carrying an entire bulky basket to the machine, you just lift the bag. They even have sturdy little grips at the base so you can tip the clothes straight into the machine instead of dragging them out by hand. Genius.

The whole basket has a lovely looking lid too, which keeps messy laundry hidden away so it never looks like an overflowing eyesore. It’s also surprisingly compact, and it tucks neatly into our utility room without eating up loads of valuable space.

I never thought I’d get excited about a laundry basket, but for me, the Tota has been a total lifesaver in a family home where laundry literally never stops.

With no more last-minute sorting on the floor, no overflowing piles to contend with, taking advantage of this deal is the best excuse to make laundry life easier. It feels like a small upgrade but it has a surprisingly big impact, and I’m here for it.

But hurry, this deal will not last long, so snap it up while the going’s good!

Laundry separator alternatives

If £76 is still on the steep end of your budget, there are plenty of other laundry separators available at Amazon. Here are our top picks to snap up.

Hoover is launching the UK’s first triple-drum washing machine – it can handle 3 loads at the same time on different cycles

Hoover is about to change the way we do laundry forever. The brand has just announced a brand-new washing machine: the Multi-Wash. It’s the first washing machine in the UK to feature three independent drums, designed to run separate cycles at the same time.

Instead of juggling different washes one after the other throughout the week, the Hoover Multi Wash will allow you to run multiple loads at once – each on its own independent cycle. The machine combines a large 10kg drum with two smaller 1kg mini drums, so you can tackle your family’s everyday laundry while running separate washes for things like delicates, baby grows, socks or post-gym kits.

No more waiting around for one cycle to end before you can put the next one on.

At the heart of the Multi-Wash is a generous 10kg main drum, great for tackling the family’s everyday wash loads. But where it gets clever is the addition of two mini 1kg drums.

You could run a full mixed load in the large drum while freshening up gym gear in one mini drum and running a delicates load in the other, and all at once.

The triple drum isn’t the only innovation, though. Hoover has built in intelligent hygiene features to make washing easier and fresher. There’s UV sterilisation for a deeper clean, an auto-dose system that measures the right amount of detergent for you and a Clean Shield coating to keep bacteria at bay inside the machine itself.

And when you’re short on time, the 22-minute quick wash will have small loads washed in, well, 22 minutes.

Twin-drum machines have been on the market for a while, but this is the first time UK shoppers will be able to get their hands on a three-drum washing machine. For those of you who have busy family households with a lot of laundry to contend with, it could be a complete game-changer, saving time and making it easier to manage laundry for different family members.

While Hoover hasn’t confirmed an exact launch date yet, the first model, designed to sit above the counter, is expected to land by the end of this year. For those short on space, an undercounter version is already in the works, with a planned release in mid-2026. We’ll keep you in the loop on any release date updates.

The whole team is really excited about this launch as it’s a big step forward in home appliance innovation, and if it performs as well as it promises, tackling that endless washing pile might just become a whole lot less painful. And I’m here for it!
