My first machine, so single household, is to say 5.5 kg more than adequate. It runs pretty quiet (for washing machine halt ne) is in about 2 hours with stained-cotton laundry done (was an important criterion for me) All programs I have not tried, because I just do not need. The extra short program "15 minutes" work with my towels and co einmandfrei. For consumption can and I want to say anything because it's my first washing machine. The only thing that could be done better is the Pipston when it is finished, but that's why there is no star deduction.
