Choosing the right capacity depends on the needs and the number of people in the household. For 1-2 persons a washing machine with a capacity of 5-6 Kg is ideal for small amounts of laundry and daily use, while for 3-4 persons a washing machine with a capacity of 7-8 Kg is suitable for families with normal amounts of laundry, including sheets and towels . For 4+ persons, a washing machine with a capacity of 9-12 Kg is ideal for big families or for washing large items such as blankets and duvets.
