What's the difference between a laundry basket, hamper and sorter?
All three hold dirty washing; the difference is the design. A basket is usually a single open bin; a hamper is a taller stand, often with a lid or a removable bag; a sorter has two or more compartments so you can separate colours as you go. Vasagle’s range covers all three — from single baskets to four-compartment sorters.
How do you sort laundry with a sorter?
Split loads as you fill it rather than on wash day. A two-compartment sorter separates lights from darks; three-bag models add whites or delicates, and four-bag versions add towels or bedding. Each Vasagle bag lifts out by its handles, so a full section goes straight to the machine — no re-sorting at the drum. It’s the simplest way to stop colours running.
What capacity do I need?
Bags are typically around 38 litres each, and total load ratings run from 30kg on a two-bag frame up to 62kg on a four-bag sorter (each bag holds 5–10kg). As a guide, one person or a couple manages with a single basket; a family washing often suits a two- or three-compartment sorter. The litre capacity and weight limits are on each product page.
Are the bags removable, and what are the frames made of?
On most Vasagle sorters the bags are Oxford fabric on a powder-coated steel frame with MDF or particleboard shelves; they lift out — usually on hook-and-loop straps — to carry a full load to the machine, and many are machine-washable. The steel frame resists rust in a bathroom or utility. Some models add a top shelf (rated 20–30kg), a lid, or adjustable feet. Weight limits are on each product page.
Can you get a laundry basket on wheels?
Yes. Several Vasagle sorters and hampers sit on castors so you can roll a full load between rooms without lifting — useful on the heavier three- and four-bag models. The rolling versions still use removable bags; check the product page for a locking wheel if you want it to stay put.
