Introduction
Water scarcity is becoming a serious issue in many Bangladeshi cities like Dhaka and Chattogram. Understanding how much water your washing machine consumes can help you reduce waste, lower bills, and support sustainability. In this 2025 guide, we break down water usage by machine type and offer smart saving tips.
Average Water Consumption by Washing Machine Type
| Type of Machine | Average Water Used per Wash | Efficiency Rating |
|---|---|---|
| Front Load (6–8kg) | 50–70 liters | High |
| Top Load Fully Automatic | 100–120 liters | Medium |
| Semi-Automatic | 120–150 liters | Low |
Note: Older models or manual washing may consume up to 180 liters per cycle!
Why Water Efficiency Matters in Bangladesh

Tips to Save Water When Using Washing Machines
