Washing machine capacity is measured by the maximum weight of dry laundry the machine can wash on the appropriate programme. An 8kg or 9kg machine is a good starting point for many households, while larger families or anyone regularly washing bulky loads may benefit from 10kg or more. Bigger isn't always better, though. If you normally wash smaller loads, a very large drum may offer little practical advantage, so consider how much laundry you actually wash rather than simply choosing the largest capacity available.
It is possible to install a washing machine yourself if the correct plumbing and electrical connections are already in place and you're confident doing it. The transit bolts must be removed, the water inlet and waste hoses connected correctly, and the machine needs to be level and stable. Incorrect installation can cause leaks, excessive vibration or damage to the appliance. If you're replacing an existing machine and would rather not deal with the installation, a professional installation service is the easier option.
It depends on the programme. Quick programmes may take less than an hour, while an Eco 40-60 programme can take several hours. A long cycle doesn't necessarily mean the machine is using more energy. Modern Eco programmes can reduce energy consumption by washing for longer while using less energy to heat the water. Programme times can also change depending on the size of the load and the options selected, so don't be surprised if the displayed time adjusts after the wash has started.
For most households, a washing machine with a maximum spin speed of 1400rpm is a good choice. A faster spin can remove more water from suitable laundry, meaning clothes come out of the machine less wet and may take less time to dry. However, the machine won't use its maximum spin speed on every programme, and delicate fabrics often require a gentler spin. A 1600rpm machine isn't automatically better than a good 1400rpm model, so spin speed should be considered alongside the machine's other features.
