What load capacity does your dryer need?
If you dry large loads in one go, you should carefully check the load capacity. This indicates how many kilograms of laundry fit in the drum. Do you want to dry a week's worth of laundry? Choose a load capacity of at least 8 or 9kg. This way, you can put all your bedding in your dryer. Read which load capacity your dryer needs here.
Choose load capacity dryer
You can easily choose the right load capacity for your dryer by looking at your daily laundry:
- Large and small loads of laundry: 9kg or more
- Medium-sized and small loads of laundry: 8kg
- Small loads of laundry: 7kg or more
Large and small loads of laundry: 9kg or more
If you regularly dry large loads of laundry in one go, choose a load capacity of 9kg or higher. This way, a week's worth of laundry or a load of bedding fits into the drum in one go. Thanks to the load and humidity sensor, the cycle stops exactly when your laundry is dry. This makes it easy to dry small loads without using too much energy. We recommend these dryers for 2 people or more.
Medium-sized and small loads of laundry: 8kg
If you wash medium-sized and small loads of laundry, choose at least an 8kg load capacity. Thanks to the load sensor and humidity sensor, you never dry your laundry too long. The dryer automatically stops when your laundry is dry. As a result, you also save energy if you wash small loads. Do you often wash large loads of bedding in one go? With a 9kg load capacity, you have more space for your laundry and don't have to fill it to the brim.
Small loads of laundry: 7kg
Do you live alone and do you only dry small loads of laundry? In that case, a 7kg drying capacity is enough for you. This is enough for a couple of towels and your favorite outfit. Are you getting roommate soon, or do you prefer to dry larger loads in one go? An 8 or 9kg load capacity is a better choice for you.
