Buying a new washing machine: Key things to keep in mind

A washing machine is one of the most essential appliances in any household. It keeps your clothes and fabrics clean and fragrant while saving you a lot of time and energy.

When choosing a washing machine for your laundry room, there are three main factors to consider: Size and capacity, type and features you might need.

Washing machine size and capacity

One of the most important factors of laundry machines is their capacity.

• A 4 - 6kg washing machine is enough for small households of 1 - 2 people and should fit around five full outfits comfortably.
• For larger households of 3 - 4 people, we recommend 7 - 8kg washing machines that can hold around seven full outfits.
• Automatic washing machines with a load size of 9 - 10kg and more are best suited to larger households and can fit more than eight full outfits at a time.

Washing machine type

Washing machines come in different types:

• Front-load washing machines: As the name suggests, these machines are loaded from the front. They’re well suited also for bigger items.
• Top-load washing machines: They’re usually a bit cheaper than front-load washers but can be a bit rougher on your clothes if overloaded. Here is a comparison article regarding the differences between front-load and top-load washing machines for your further information.

Other washing machine features

• Energy and water savings: Modern automatic washing machines and washer dryers can help you save plenty of energy and water.
