Five High-Capacity Washing Machines for Families of Five
Big families usually have lots of clothes, towels and bedsheets to wash.
A washing machine that is too small may require several cycles each day.
The guide says a family of five should generally choose a machine holding at least 9 kilograms.
Front-load machines are described as more water-efficient, while top-load machines are easier to load.
Fully automatic machines wash and spin clothes without requiring people to move them between tubs.
Features such as steam, heaters, quick washes and inverter motors can make laundry easier.
The five recommended machines come from IFB, Whirlpool, Bosch, LG and Samsung.
They differ in size, wash programs, features, price and design.
The guide recommends washing machines with at least 9 kg capacity for five-person households.
Its picks include 10 kg IFB and Whirlpool top-load models, a 12 kg Bosch front-loader, and 9 kg LG and Samsung front-loaders.
The IFB model offers 13 wash programs, power steam, an in-built heater and hard-water washing features.
The Whirlpool machine has 12 programs, a 740 RPM motor, an in-built heater and three hot-water modes.
The Bosch, LG and Samsung models offer front-load designs, with capacities of 12 kg, 9 kg and 9 kg respectively.
