Clothing Weight. A full load of laundry will depend on the capacity or size of your washing machine. Smaller capacity top loaders may accommodate only 6 lbs of dirty clothing to be full. Medium capacity top loading washing machines can usually tolerate 7-8 lbs. The biggest large capacity top loaders will do well with as much as 12-15 lbs.
Why Weight. If a washing machine wasn't at least a bit heavy, it'd practically dance across the floor with all the movement going on inside when it's in operation. Manufacturers include concrete counterweights in washers to control movement and for balance, and these can weigh upward of 55 pounds.onsidering this conversion, do the math: An old washer -- predating 1998 -- fills with about 40 gallons or 332 pounds of water to wash and rinse clothes, while a new standard model uses 27 gallons or 225 pounds, and the energy efficient ones just 14 gallons or 117 pounds -- or less.
