What size washing machine and how many of you?

[MarmiteCoriander]

Do you wish your machine was larger or smaller? Its only DH, myself and dog, but we have family stay often and its a large house. Is a 9kg machine being ridiculous?

We have a 12kg one and I love it, it does equivalent to nearly two load in my old machine. Family of 4, with very messy 2 & 5 year olds and DH who is a tradesman and comes home coved in paint or plaster dust.

There’s 4 adults plus a dog and cat.
We have a 9kg and it’s perfect. I can do single item washes in it then different settings have different maximum weight allowances.

6kg machine for 2 adults and a teenager here, which is fine for us - no particularly messy jobs or hobbies to cope with though.

10kg, 6 of us.

I don't think it's particular big until we go on holiday and they seem really small!

6kg tumble dryer but we never tumble dry a whole wash load so it's fine

4 of us and we have a 10kg one. Wouldn't ever go smaller now.

10kg, bought when there was 5 of us but one has left and another is at uni most of the time. Perfect for us, big enough to cope with everyone at home for short bursts but not too big when there only 3 of us.

9kg, two adults, three kids, lots of animals. But we also had a 9kg when it was only two adults and I don't think I'd go choose less. Handy having big when you need it for bedding, towels etc but my machine has the option of quicker/smaller loads so you don't have to always make up a 9kg load every time

8kg,2 adults in the house.Suits us fine.

10 kg, 6 people, 1 puking cat.

It adjusts time and water use each load so is efficient if I wanted to do smaller loads.

9kg for 2 adults and 2 teens

9kg just me, handy for bigger items

2 9kg for 4 adults. Means everyone can speed through their laundry in no time.

9kg for two adults, two kids. Used to have a 4.5kg one - so nice not having to run the machine every day now.

2 adults, 2 large dogs 10KG

Thanks everyone. 9kg is sound perfect.
