Space-Saving Laundry Solutions: Your Small Washer Questions Answered
Discover perfect compact washers for apartments across 5kg to 6kg models. These space savers use less water and electricity while offering essential features like quiet operation and quick cycles. Dive into these Frequently Asked Questions to find an ideal small washing machine that maximizes space without compromising performance.
Compact washers are game changers for tight spaces. A slim washing machine is ideal for apartments where every centimetre counts. Front loaders are particularly apartment friendly, like our range of Small Front Load Washers offering plenty of space saving options. Most apartment dwellers find a 5kg washing machine or 6kg washing machine hits the sweet spot between size and capacity. These compact units can handle weekly laundry while tucking neatly into a bathroom corner or kitchen nook.
Brands like Fisher & Paykel and Bosch can offer narrow designs with surprisingly roomy drums. Some even come with special apartment friendly features like extra quiet operation and anti-vibration technology. Save even more space with stackable models that allow positioning a dryer above the front load washing machine, like vented dryers. Don't forget to check our Washing Machine Sale page for great deals on appropriate apartment washers that won't break the bank.
The most obvious difference is capacity – small washing machines typically range from 5 to 6kg, while medium models handle 7 to 8kg loads. This means a possible extra load weekly with a compact model, but with the benefit of significant space. Small washers are also lighter on the wallet both upfront and over time. A slimline washing machine can use less water and electricity per cycle, though medium washers might be more efficient per kilogram of laundry.
Compact models excel in tight spaces, with narrow washing machines often measuring just 40cm to 45cm wide compared to 60cm for standard units. For apartment dwellers Solt Washing Machines offer great value without sacrificing performance. Most modern conveniences are available in both sizes, including quick wash cycles and smart connectivity. Medium washers may offer more specialized cycles, but small models cover all the basics. If you're a couple or solo dweller who doesn't generate mountains of laundry, a compact washer will likely meet all your needs while saving space, water and energy.
Small washing machines are generally quite energy efficient. Their compact size means they use less water and electricity per cycle compared to larger models when fully utilised. A typical 5kg washing machine might use around 50 to 60 litres of water per cycle, while large washing machines can use 80L or more. This water efficiency translates to lower utility bills and a smaller environmental footprint. The energy savings continue with heating as smaller water volumes require less energy to warm during hot washes. Many modern small front loader washing machine models come with impressive energy ratings with front loaders being particularly efficient. Look for models with 4 star energy ratings and above for maximum savings.
Some of our most efficient top load washers can use clever tech like load sensing to adjust water usage based on laundry weight. While the capacity is smaller this can actually encourage more efficient laundry habits, as it’s then more likely it will run full loads rather than half loads. For singles, couples or small families, a compact washer often provides the perfect balance of efficiency and practicality. Just remember that running multiple small loads might be less efficient than running fewer large loads in a bigger machine if you have lots of laundry from a big family.
When shopping for a small washing machine, prioritize features that maximize on limited space. First, measure the available area carefully – a narrow or slimline washing machine (typically 40 to 45cm wide) can fit in tight spots where standard 60cm models can't. For apartments the noise level is crucial so look for models with quiet operation and anti-vibration pads. Water efficiency is another must have if you might run more frequent loads in a 5.5kg washing machine compared to larger models. Quick wash cycles are particularly valuable in compact machines tocomplete laundry faster when capacity is limited.
If you're considering a washing machine for a small space, don't overlook delay start timers – these can schedule cycles during off-peak electricity hours or when you're out for no disruption. For maximum versatility choose a model with adjustable spin speeds and temperature settings. Some compact washers even offer specialized cycles for delicates, sportswear and allergen removal. Built-in sensors that adjust water and detergent usage based on load size can help maximize efficiency. Finally check the door configuration – a door that opens in the right direction for your space can make a huge difference in usability.

How upgrading your Washer and Dryer can save you money
March 11•5 mins readLaundry appliances don’t live forever, but on the bright side, every 10 years or so you get to trade up to a model that is cheaper to run and gentler on the planet.
“Buying energy-efficient laundry appliances can dramatically reduce your energy bills,” confirms Rob Murray-Leach, Head of Policy at the Energy Efficiency Council, a not-for-profit association for businesses, universities, governments and NGOs.(1)
“Even if they cost more upfront, they are generally much higher quality and can save you thousands of dollars. For a washing machine with a 7kg capacity, the most efficient model could save you $2000 in energy over the life of your appliance, compared to the least efficient model.”

The Washing Machine feature everyone is talking about
February 6•3 mins readIt’s unwritten laundry lore that whenever you push start on a washing machine load, a single, dirty sock will appear. In the past, top loader washing machines were on the case – just lift the lid, chuck in the straggler and be on your way. Front loader washing machine owners were in a pickle though, with no option but to stash the stowaway for the next load.
Then, in 2015, the geniuses at Samsung unveiled the innovative Samsung AddWash front loader, an industry first that would allow hectic households to add items mid-cycle. Other manufacturers followed suit and the rest, as they say, is history. Hooray!
