Washing machines & washer dryers

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

Here are our detailed guide on How to choose a Washing Machine and How to choose a Washer Dryer.

Washing machine size and capacity

One of the most important factors of washing machines and washer dryers is their capacity.

• A load size of 4-6kg 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 a capacity of 7-8kg that holds around seven full outfits.
• Washing machines and washer dryers with a load size of 9kg and more are best suited to larger households and can fit more than eight full outfits at a time.

Type of washing machines

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.
• Washer dryers: These appliances combine the strengths of a washer and a dryer to save you space and money.

Washing machine features

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