We are a family of 4 and I plan to buy a new Washing Machine soon. Should I go for a machine with an 8kg drum or larger?
In most cases, a drum size of 5 - 7 kg is adequate for a medium-sized household with 3-4 members. Washing machines with a 7 kg drum will comfortably wash a standard load, and also have programs specifically tailored for smaller loads. For a large family that typically washes more than once a week, a larger drum might be more appropriate.
