Home Solutions 

1 - Consider household size

The number of people in your home directly impacts the ideal washing machine capacity. Larger families produce more laundry, necessitating a bigger machine to handle the volume efficiently.

2 - Assess laundry frequency

How often you do laundry affects the capacity you need. If you prefer doing laundry less frequently, a larger capacity machine allows you to wash more clothes in fewer loads.

3 - Evaluate space constraints

The physical space available for your washing machine can limit your capacity options. Measure your laundry area carefully, considering width, depth, and height. Some larger capacity machines may require more space than smaller models.

4 - Think about typical load sizes

The types of items you wash influence the capacity needed. For bulky items like comforters or heavy jackets, a larger capacity is beneficial. For mainly lightweight clothing, a smaller capacity might be sufficient.

5 - Check energy efficiency

While larger capacity machines use more water and energy per cycle, they can be more efficient for big loads. Running one large load is generally more efficient than multiple small loads in a smaller machine.

6 - Consider special features

Larger capacity machines offer additional features like quick wash and tub dry in certain models. These can add value and convenience, potentially justifying the choice for a larger capacity.

7 - Account for future needs

When choosing a washing machine capacity, consider future household changes. If you plan to expand your family or take in a roommate, a larger capacity can prevent the need for an early upgrade.

8 - Balance capacity with wash quality

A larger capacity shouldn't compromise cleaning performance. Look for technologies ensuring effective cleaning across all load sizes, such as Oceanus Wave Drum technology, which maintains wash quality in both small and large loads.
