What these numbers mean in practice
Capacity
5.3 cu ft is a large drum for a top load machine. As a rule of thumb, one cubic foot holds roughly 3–4 kg of dry laundry, so this drum handles about 19 kg per load — enough for a king-size comforter.
Running cost
At 260 kWh per year, five years of use is about 1,300 kWh. Water use of 6,660 gallons a year works out to roughly 33,300 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 29 in wide, 44 in high and 33 in deep. Measure the doorway on the route in, not just the final spot.
