When choosing a washing machine, three things matter more than price: drum capacity, spin speed, and energy efficiency class. These determine how convenient the machine is for everyday use.

Capacity by household size

5-6 kg is enough for 1-2 people, 7-8 kg suits a family of 3-4, and 8 kg or more is worth it for a large family or frequent loads of kids’ clothes.

Spin speed

1000-1200 rpm dries laundry reasonably well; 1400+ rpm makes sense if you don’t own a dryer and want clothes to air-dry faster.

Energy class and water use

Class A or A+++ machines use noticeably less electricity and water over time, which offsets the higher upfront price.

The range includes, for example, the LG F20L2CRV2E2 — a solid balance of capacity and efficiency.
