How Big Is Your Washing Machine?

Featured Replies

Hello,

May I know how 'big' is your washing machine in terms of the load?

I need to get one which can wash queen size bedsheet/thin blanket, but not sure how big i need loh. 6.5kg able to do it?

And, anyone knows the pros n cons for front load and top load washing machine?\

Thx thx!

Mine is a 8kg washing machine. Decided to go for a bigger one so that can wash curtain, bedsheet, etc etc.

Front load washing machine typically use less water and can have the dryer stack up on top. But need to bend down to get the clothes out and cannot add in more clothings once the washing starts...

Not an expert, but these are some pros and cons I could think of.

My is 10kg top loading Fisher & Pykel. No ideas abt pros/cons. Warranty onF&P very good and more imptly can take in a lot of stuff.

Oh, so your washing machine currently not able to wash bedsheets n curtains?

Cos hor, my mum say need a big one like 8kg n above, but my MIL say her one 6kg wash also no problem leh...

My is 10kg top loading Fisher & Pykel. No ideas abt pros/cons. Warranty onF&P very good and more imptly can take in a lot of stuff.

wow 10kg, definitely big enough to take in many stuff.

Ya heard that fisher n paykel is gd. But ex leh :P

do note that the bigger the capacity, the wider will be the drum, means that u need more water to fill up the drum.

Oh, so your washing machine currently not able to wash bedsheets n curtains?

Depending on the material also. For denser textile which are commonly used for curtain, need to wash the two sides separately if using smaller washing machine.

Bedsheet typically is okay, but if washing comforter set then a smaller washing machine may not be able to handle.

i'm using a 5kg front-load drum

loading is done from the top though

went for it coz it's only 40cm wide :good:

no problem washing queen size bedsheet + thermal blanket

comforter must wash in one cycle alone :yamseng:

Using a 6.5kg from samsung, front load.

2 ppl, 2 loads a week. Any extra would be to wash towels, bedsheets etc.

Full bedsheet set can go in with space for towels.
