Is the drum size really an honest indication of how much you can wash at once, or is it exaggerated for marketing purposes?
I have an 8kg machine, and have been weighing my loads before I put them in. I have found that when I put in about 4kg (dry), it physically fills up the machine more than 3/4. If I put any more than that, the clothes just don't have space to move properly, and the water and detergent have a hard time penetrating into the centre of the load of clothes - basically, any more than 4kg and it seems like the clothes just wouldn't get washed properly.
Am I just being paranoid (i.e., 8kg would wash just fine and I am worried for no good reason)?
Or am I right and an 8kg machine is in reality no more than a 4kg machine? I struggle to see how I would even physically fit 8kg of dry clothes in there in the first place seeing as 4kg nearly fills it up.
