What Washer Capacity Should You Choose?

A washer’s capacity determines how much laundry you can wash in a single cycle. The right size mainly depends on how many people live in your home and the types of items you wash regularly.

For a single person or a couple, a washer with a capacity of about 4.5 to 5.0 cu. ft. is usually enough for everyday clothing, towels and bed sheets.

In a household of three to four people, many families choose a capacity between 5.2 and 5.5 cu. ft., which allows you to wash a large load of clothes or several thick towels in one cycle.

Washers with 5.5 to 6 cu. ft. and more provide even more space for bulky loads. They can handle items such as a comforter, blankets or several family loads of laundry without requiring multiple cycles.
