The capacity of a front loader washing machine can vary depending on the specific model and brand. However, front loaders generally have larger capacities compared to top loaders.
Front load washing machines typically range from 4.5 to 5.5 cubic feet in capacity. This capacity is measured in terms of the tub's volume, which indicates the maximum amount of laundry the machine can hold.
To determine how much laundry you can wash at one time, it's important to consider both the machine's capacity and the recommended load size provided by the manufacturer. In general, a front loader can handle around 12 to 20 pounds (5.4 to 9 kg) of laundry per load.
It's worth noting that overloading the machine can lead to poor cleaning performance, increased wear on the machine, and potential balance issues during the spin cycle. It's best to refer to the manufacturer's guidelines to determine the optimal load size for your specific front loader washing machine.
