    9.5kg Simpson top loader for a family of 4 (5 by the end of the year!). Love it, not too big at all. You simply set the water level to suit the size of the load, also has an 'EcoWash' water saving feature. Fits are king sized doona without a problem and is great for washing the kids bedding. I need a toploader because I ALWAYS forget to put something in and have to add it once the cycle has already started!!

    We have a 6.5kg Simpson at the holiday house and I am washing there CONSTANTLY as the loads are so much smaller - drives me nuts!!

    I've got the biggest Fisher and Paykel - 9kg I think. It's an aqua smart so it sets it's own water level so there is no wastage even with a small load, and it's big enough that it fits our king sized doona in.

    I have the 9.0kg Simpson EZI sensor machine top loading. It is AWESOME!!!! Same as what nickle said. We only have tank water and this machine uses LESS water than my old 4.5kg Simpson did!! I had the 4.5kg simpson for 11 years and only replaced it 18 months ago because we outgrew it and I was sick of doing up to 4 loads of washing in a day for the 6 of us. The size is perfect for the 6 of us and I hope to get as long out of it as I did my little one. I think you should get one that is big enough to wash blankets etc because that was the only downfall of my small one - great machine but too small to wash blankets and sheets. I couldn't even fit a single bed sheet set in it at the one time to wash it. So 8kg may seem huge, but once you are washing extra linen, you will be glad you went for a bigger one.

    We have a 6.5kg LG front loader. I think it's a bit small for the 3 of us. I often have to split loads cause there's too much. Or maybe we just get changed too often lol!
