LittleDevil 0 Report post Posted July 11, 2008 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.

hihihi 0 Report post Posted July 11, 2008 do note that the bigger the capacity, the wider will be the drum, means that u need more water to fill up the drum. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LittleDevil 0 Report post Posted July 12, 2008 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Zc31 0 Report post Posted October 10, 2008 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
