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!!
