Anyone have a large washing drum - over 10kg?

I posted this on a previous thread, but I didn't word the title right!

Has anyone got a washing machine with a massive drum capacity? I'm thinking 10-12kg.

What do you think of it? How many people are in your family?

We are a family of 5, but are planning more!

We have this beast https://ao.com/l/washingmachines-10or102e5or11or12or13wash_load-zanussi/1-4-6/1/?pagesize=12 which has a 10kg drum. I love it. It means fewer loads which given that all modern washing machines seem to take 2.5 hours + for a straightforward 40 degree wash is a godsend. It also takes a single duvet no problem. 2 bath sheets, 2 bath towels and 2 hand towels are one load (instead of having to split them like my old 8.5 kg). And it's brushless so although it's not quite 'super quiet' as promised, it doesn't sound like the kitchen is about to take off. I think we've had it 3 years now (might be 4) and fingers crossed, no breakdowns.

How many loads do you do in a day/week bellsbuss?

I have a 9kg for family of 5. What I will say is check the info on each machines programmes. Lots we looked at only let you use it to capacity on very few programmes, which kind of defeats the object in my opinion.
We got a Beko as you can use 9kg on most programmes including a quick wash.

Thanks for the tip @keepingbees I'll look into that
