You need a 14 kg machine minimum so the fill can tumble freely; our laundromats offer 18 kg machines, ideal for king-size duvets or two duvets at once. 9 kg or 11 kg machine for a family of four? + For 4 people, an 11 kg machine handles a week of laundry in one cycle: jeans, t-shirts, underwear, pyjamas and towels. The 9 kg covers daily loads but forces 2 cycles on heavy weeks. The 18 kg is oversized except for occasional sheets and duvets. How long does a Speed Queen cycle take? + A standard Speed Queen cycle runs 30 to 35 minutes (wash + 1200 rpm spin). A full dry in the 18 kg dryer adds 25 to 35 minutes. Wash + dry total: 1h to 1h10, significantly faster than a home machine (2h30 to 3h). ## Ready to wash?
