A washing machine with a load capacity if 10kg or more has extra space for large laundry items. Collect a week's worth of laundry, and wash all your bedding and towels at once. This saves energy, and you won't have to do several smaller loads of laundry. Still have a small load? The load sensor shortens the wash cycle, so you can even save energy with a smaller load of laundry. That's very useful when you can't fill up the 10kg drum. For extra user-friendliness, choose a washing machine that doses your detergent automatically. This way, you consume less detergent, water, and energy. If you don't like to iron, choose a washing machine with steam.
