So we are a very large household of 8 sometimes up to 10. Last year I bought a new Miele washing machine which I'm thrilled with as very economical on water and electricity. Although cycles do take a while up to 3 hrs. So I'm beginning to think I need a second machine for occasional simultaneous use on days it's just getting out of hand. Miele cost £900, second machine needs to be more of a budget brand with productive but shorter cycles. I have lots of muddy boys 
. Looking forward to your suggestions, that include me not moving out
