Calculation method and standard of washing machine capacity.
I just said that I would choose the capacity of the washing machine considering the number of family members, but there is a way to calculate the standard of capacity to choose. The amount of laundry per person per day is said to be about 1.5 kg, so ‘1.5 kg × number of family members’ is the minimum required washing machine capacity.
If you live alone or in a household with two people, the capacity of 2 to 3 kilograms is just right. However, considering that you need to wash your laundry for a few days, it would be better to pack more than 5kg. 5kg for a family of three and 6kg for a family of four are suitable capacity, but I recommend family households with children weighing more than 8kg. It’s because it’s convenient to wash blankets and sheets if it’s a large size.
Also, if you choose a washing machine with a drying function, the drying capacity is smaller than just doing the washing. If you want to dry it completely automatically, choose a slightly larger capacity.
Standards other than the capacity when choosing a washing machine.
When choosing a washing machine, there are other things to consider other than capacity. Let’s choose a washing machine considering the following.
Drying function.
The drying function is very convenient because it can be washed regardless of the weather. It will be especially useful because household chores are reduced in working families. If you want to emphasize the drying function, I recommend the drum-type washing machine. If you want to use the drying function, choose the one with a large capacity.
Ease of use.
The washing machine is used everyday for a long time, so I want to consider not only its capacity but also its ease of use. You can’t let go of the automatic detergent or reservation function when you use it up. Also, consider how easy it is to take care of.
In conclusion, it is.
The smaller the capacity of the washing machine, the cheaper the price of the washing machine, and many people will want to choose a cheaper and smaller one. However, if you pack your clothes to excess capacity and wash them, they will not only remove dirt but also cause breakdown. Let’s choose a washing machine with the appropriate capacity according to the number of family members and lifestyle.
