Select Yout Washing Machine by Load Capacity

Choose a washing machine with right capacity based on how many people are in your household and your lifestyle.

What Is a Washing Machine's Capacity?

A washing machine's capacity indicates the maximum weight of dry laundry that can be loaded. To ensure the machine cleans comfortably and efficiently without using excess power or water or taking too much time, aim to load about 70% of its maximum capacity.

Find Out the Capacity to Suit Your Home

The average person generates about 1.5 kg of dry laundry per day. 1 shirt is approx. 200 g, so you can calculate that 10 kg washing machine can wash 50 pieces of the shirt at the maximum, ideally 35 pieces.

So, you can use this formula for measuring which capacity model is fit to your lifestyle, like how many family members are there, how often you do the laundry in a week and so on.

Choose the Right Capacity To Fit Your Lifestyle

If you have space, choose the largest machine you can. Even if your family is small, a machine with more capacity can be used for larger items, such as comforters and blankets, or for bulk washing on weekends.
