We're a family of 5 about to become 6 and we have a 8.5kg LG top load washer.
It seriously is fantastic. I love the fact that I can wash all our sheets in 1 load, then do the doona covers in another load. I do 2-3 loads per day.
Go as big as you can afford to go - I went from a 4.5kg machine (and I totally get you on how tiny they are LOL) and doing washing for the 6 of us, to a 9kg top load machine and it's BLISS!!! It actually uses LESS water than my old one because of the way it washes clothes (by taking water out and pumping it back in again over the clothes it doesn't need a full bowl)
We have front loader, washer dryer combo...lg....its 9kg washer and i think 5kg dryer so I have to dry in 2 seperate loads which doesn't bother me cause I never use it but I wouldn't go back to anything smaller.....I can fit our king size doona in there with room still in there. Its awesome!!
