A:Answer I use it for my undies, bras and lightweight blouses together. Fill up tub loosely to 3/4 full. For your use, I would say about 4 mens t-shirts or 3 mens dress shirts, Water temperature is manually controlled at source. I fill my washer from the hose/spray attachment in my shower and keep the washer in place as water needs to drain out while between cycles. Comes with an intake hose but diameter is very narrow. It is useless to me..
