A:Answer The exact number will vary depending on the size and thickness of your towels. That said, we do provide examples of "typical" loads on Page 15 of the online Owner's Manual. The manual can be found by clicking on the Features tab and scroll to the bottom of the list. One example lists: 1 bath sheet, 6 bath towels, 8 washcloths, and 4 hand towels/terry cloth bath mat as a load. -Vikki@GEAppliances
