What is 11 liters amoung friends? 
10% in accounting and finance is considered a normal rounding and/or measurement variation /error. The size may be the same, but stated more conservatively to meet some orgaiziation's approval or rating certification. If the drum size is indeed smaller, could it be sound and/or heat insulation in the the main cabinet? | ||

Askomiele, What was the brand of the old dryer? Sounds like it had a somewhat larger drum than most European dryers. I don't know much about the size of the newer dryers, but older Mieles used to have a 103L drum and AEG's a 106L one. Are you looking for a condenser dryer or a vented one? Bosch have 7kg capacity dryers, perhaps those drums are a bit bigger. I don't think there is much difference in size with a 5kg dryer. | ||

It was an Olympia... But I wonder; is it correct to say how larger the drum, how faster it dries, how energyefficient (based on a 5kg load ofcourse.) or am I wrong. Otherwis I'll just big a dryer rated for 6kg to make a pair with my 5kg washer... | ||

Supposedly 6kg dryers are more energy efficient than 5kg dryers, but ofcourse only if you load it with 6kg. Main factors for how fast a dryer is is ofcourse the heating element and the temperature it reaches. I think my old Zanker dryer got a little hotter than my Miele dryer and therefor was faster. I think the size of the drum would indeed make a difference in regard to creasing. But make sure a 6kg dryer has indeed a bigger drum than a 5kg one and not just a different capacity rating.
