Why adding a large washer to your mix pays off
An 18 or 27 kg washer changes the customer profile: you capture families with duvets, sofa covers, sleeping bags, work uniforms or any bulky item that will not fit in a household machine.
The average ticket for these cycles is far higher (£6–12 per cycle) than a standard wash. It also drives loyalty: customers return every season to maintain bulky textiles.
Capacities and typical uses
| 18 kg | Single duvets, single-bed blankets, medium sofa covers |

Recommended products for high capacity
Large loads require proportional dose adjustments. Instaquim automatically calibrates the pumps based on the machine's declared weight.
