Wash Performance 
Wash Load The greater a washing machine's drum capacity the more washing you can do at any one time. Large capacity machines are useful for washing bulky items like duvets or bath towels but you should also be aware that washing smaller loads in a large drum will reduce creasing and make ironing easier. 
All weights referred to are for dry loads. 
Programme Choice All washing machines include a number of programmes and special features to help you get the most from your machine. The following are a few of the most useful to look out for: - Economy Wash - reduces running costs by using less water, electricity and detergent Silk Wash - washes at a lower temperature to protect delicate garments Light Load - ideal when you only want to wash a small number of items Hand Wash - a gentle programme to let you wash clothes marked "hand wash only" in your machine Washer Dryers Washer dryers combine the features from washing machines and tumble dryers in one machine, but are the same size as a conventional washer, so are ideal if space is an important consideration. All washer dryers feature a condenser type dryer so there's no need to fit a venting kit.
