When to Choose 8kg vs 7kg

Choose 8kg if:

• Family of 4-5 people
• You wash bedsheets, blankets, and curtains regularly
• You prefer 1-2 laundry sessions per week over more frequent smaller loads
• You have large Indian garments (salwar suits, sarees, dhotis)

Stick with 7kg if:

• Family of 3 people or less
• Budget is tight (7kg is ₹1,500-₹3,000 cheaper in the same model line)
• Laundry area space is limited

Annual Running Cost

At 5 loads per week, ₹8/kWh:

• LG T80AJSF1Z 8kg (0.55 kWh/load): ₹1,144/year
• IFB Elite ZXS 8kg front-load (0.45 kWh/load): ₹936/year

Front-load saves ~₹200/year in electricity - not decisive, but front-load saves significantly more on water.
