which laundry machine
Astrid asked which laundry machine is best for a large family.
Well, that depends.
When you dry your clothes in a dryer, it's best to have equal heavy loads.
That way your wet laundry won't stay in the machine too long, causing smell.
When you dry on the line I prefer a washing machine with as large a load as possible.
I can't afford an industrial machine, because it requires large wardrobes, so I opt for a 7 kilo one.
I don't care for many buttons.
Just the temperatures, full and half load and the possibility of centrifuge only.
It needs to give a good balance between clean clothes and saving energy.
For me a front loader is best, because I can put the basket under it and just pull the laundry out.
The filter needs to be at a level that I can put a small bowl underneath it to let the water out.
A filter that's too low is a problem, because it means using towels or stuff to catch the water.
