What these numbers mean in practice
Capacity
2 cu ft is a compact drum for a front load machine. As a rule of thumb, one cubic foot holds roughly 3–4 kg of dry laundry, so this drum handles about 7 kg per load — enough for a small household load.
Running cost
At 94 kWh per year, five years of use is about 470 kWh. Water use of 2,503 gallons a year works out to roughly 12,515 gallons over five years — the number that matters if you are on a metered water supply.
IMEF and IWF
IMEF is the integrated modified energy factor: higher is better, and it is the number behind the kWh figure. IWF is the integrated water factor: lower is better, and it is the number behind the gallons figure. Both are certified values, not marketing claims.
Will it fit?
Allow at least 1 in of clearance on each side and 4–6 in behind for the fill and drain hoses. That means a cut-out of about 28 in wide, 36 in high and 31 in deep. Measure the doorway on the route in, not just the final spot.
