Calculation

  1. 1Population baseline: 1-2 → 8 kg, 3-4 → 10 kg, 5-6 → 12 kg, 7+ → 15 kg
  2. 2Base for 3 people = 10 kg
  3. 3Workload floor = 10 kg → final 10 kg
  4. 4Winter thick clothes take 2-3× volume → keep 11 kg headroom
  • Multi-source consensus: 1-2 people 8 kg, 3-4 people 10 kg (fits a queen bedding set in one go), 5+ / pets / large items 12 kg+.
  • Capacity is the one spec you cannot upgrade later — prefer one size up; the 8→10 kg price gap is usually only ¥300-500.
  • Drum diameter matters more than the kg label: each +2 cm adds ~15% loading space; prefer ≥520 mm.
  • Load 1/3 to 2/3 of the drum — overfull or underfull both hurt the tumble wash action and balance.
  • Front loaders need ~60 cm width and ~65 cm depth at 10 kg; measure the doorway (≥70 cm) first.
