The load capacity should be chosen according to the size of the household. A 5–7 kg machine is often sufficient for households of one or two people. For families with children and those who wash a lot of laundry, we recommend a load capacity of at least 8–10 kg, so you can wash less often and with more space, which reduces wrinkling of clothes and saves energy.
