    there's a table here showing & explaining what 6,7.5 & 10kg loads look like http://www.which.co.uk/home-and-garden/laundry-and-cleaning/reviews/washing-machines/page/features-explained/

    this is what they say you should be able to fit into a 6kg load -
    6 small towels
    2 pillowcases
    6 T-shirts
    2 sheets
    2 pairs of jeans
    14 socksd

    My machine takes 8kg but I don't think I would put this much in
  • Don't forget to reduce the washing powder as well if you have 6kg washing machine, otherwise it may not wash properly but also you will get powder marks on the washing.

    Thanks for all the advice I'll see if 2/3 and the thumbs up rule is similar. Why don't machines have the features you want together? The load is either too small or the rpm is too low or the wash cycles last 3 hours!!!! lol. We'll see how long this machine lasts??!!!
    I wish washing machines didn't have so many options! I only ever use a hot wash, quick wash and normal wash but my machine has about 20 different options. Does anyone actually use all the different programmes on their machine? :o
