Discussion & Debate: The Advantage & Disadvantage Of 7/8kg Washing Machines.

[aquarius1984]

Well im one of those ones whom crave a 6/7/8/9kg machine if only for just washing duvets.

For everything else the 4kg load in the Hotpoint is just fine for the 2 of us. Saying that the 40 minute -2 hour washes means I can get through 12kgs in 2 hours on some loads and temperatures and still save energy and water when compared to a TL.

As for washers and dryers being typical in Brit kitchens, yes its true but most new builds have utility rooms now depending on the bedroom numbers. 3-4 bedrooms tend to see houses with utility rooms.

There is even a bug to add them when restorations and renovations take place. my sizeable kitchen could of taken a side by side washer and dryer easily with no room wasted but when the house was renovated a utility room was added.

I could never go back to a 5kg machine having had an 9kg lg and a 7.5kg aqualtis.

I have 2 kids and they only stay with me for 4 days every couple weeks but they certainly push my laundry pile up. And even for just myself I like it. If its a medium sized load more room, better movement, less creasing, better rinsing!

The biggest disadvantage for me

is that they mean less fun xD

Eversince I got my Candy GrandOPlus, Ive noticed I am doing less loads per week, simply because more stuff fits into the drum, and to be honest I dont like much doing half or less than halfloads, so for me, it is just less washing

You know that feeling.. when you want to turn on the washer, and you see empty laundry basket haha

"...doing half or less than halfloads."

I feel guilty if I need to wash only a couple of items in my 7kg machine.

Full loads all the way for me but I don't have many whites so mini load is helpful
