What type of load for a washing machine?

Key criteria for choosing your new washing machine

1. Loading capacity:

Before choosing a washing machine, assess the amount of laundry you regularly wash by considering the number of members in your household and the volume of regular laundry. Choose a drum capacity based on the size of your household and laundry habits, opting for a larger capacity for larger families and a smaller capacity for smaller households.

  • For a household of 1 to 2 people, a machine with a loading capacity of 5kg may be sufficient.

  • For a couple, a machine with a load capacity of 6 to 7kg may be sufficient.

  • For a family of 3 to 4 people, it is generally recommended to choose a washing machine with a capacity of 8 to 10kg.

  • If your household has more than 5 people, opt for a high-capacity washing machine, usually exceeding 11kg and more

Choose between a front-loading or top-loading washing machine based on the available space in your laundry room and your personal preferences. Front-loading washing machines generally offer a larger loading capacity, are more water-efficient, and provide a variety of washing programs. Top-loading machines are compact, suitable for confined spaces, and facilitate loading and unloading. Select the type that best suits your needs.

3. Energy efficiency:

Check the energy efficiency label of the washing machine. Machines are rated from A to G, with class A being the most energy-efficient. Opting for a machine with a high energy efficiency class will reduce your long-term energy consumption, potentially saving you money on your electricity bills.

On the energy label;

  • you will find information such as electricity consumption in kWh for 100 washes,

  • The energy class ranging from A to G,

  • Water consumption per cycle in liters,

  • The noise level during spinning in decibels with a class from A to D,

  • The average duration of the economical program,

  • Machine capacity in kg of cotton,

  • and the spin efficiency class from A to G.
