How Much Can a 10kg Washing Machine Really Hold?

Although 10kg sounds like a lot, no one actually weighs their laundry before putting it into the machine. So how much can really fit into a 10kg washing machine?

It is important to keep in mind that overfilling your washing machine is never recommended. Not only can it result in your laundry not being as clean and fresh when it comes out of the machine, but underfilling your machine can also result in your washing machine’s drum becoming unbalanced and unnecessary strain being placed on the machine’s bearings.

Ensuring you are placing the right amount of laundry into your machine is therefore vital.

It is important to remember that the same types of clothing can have significant absorbency and weight differences. The materials they are made from and the size of the item should be considered. For example, a rain mac, a denim jacket, and a furry winter coat will not all weigh the same.

The weight of the load is based on the weight of the clothing when it is dry. Wet clothing has a much higher weight than dry clothing, but this will have been accounted for by the washing machine’s manufacturer.

However, you may not always be washing a full load of laundry. So what if your load weighs less than 10kg? You may be wondering if smaller loads could be problematic for a larger machine.

The Ebac 10kg washing machine has precision 360 sensory technology that considers the weight of each load of laundry and then automatically calculates the precise amount of water and energy that is required. This helps to save water and energy and keep your household bills from rising. If your machine is underfilled and at risk of causing any damage to your machine, Ebac's Perfect Wash Protection software will also alert you to rebalance your load.
