1. Family Size

For 1-2 people, a 6-7 kg machine, such as the HW70-IM12929BKU1, is suitable. Households with 3-4 members may need a 7-8 kg model like the HW80-IM12929CBK. Larger families of 5 or more should consider 9 kg machines.

2. Laundry Frequency

For daily laundry, smaller capacities may suffice. For weekly loads, a larger capacity is recommended. The HW80-DM14959CS6U1 (8 kg) is ideal for regular washes, balancing capacity and efficiency for most households.

For tight spaces, consider top-loaders like the HWM70-306S8 (7 kg). Front-loaders such as the HW80-IM12929EBK are also space-efficient, offering a good balance between capacity and compact design.
