Capacity
The size of your washer is an important consideration: the bigger the drum, the more you can wash.

High capacity machines allow you to wash less frequently, cutting down on energy bills and environmental impact. When it comes to weight, have a washing machine to suit every size of household. If you have a larger-sized family or normally perform larger loads, try a high capacity drum. If you live in a smaller household with less people, consider a smaller capacity machine.

A fabulous feature for items which have longer drying times like Jeans and heavy fabrics. This allows outfits to be ready for wear quickly and may suit the family always on the go. Like a car, speeds can range quite dramatically from different models so always check the RPM (Revolutions per Minute) of a machine. Look for a washing machine with a regular spin speed for everyday laundry. However, if you frequently hang your clothing to avoid shrinkage or for the purpose of saving on electricity, you may want to consider a washing machine with a higher spin speed/ higher RPM.
