Have The Washer In Harvest Gold
It's a great little unit but with limitations.
Capacity wise sheets have to be twin or full sized and even then it's only one with perhaps a pillow slip for full load. Gotta love the three spray rinses in each spin both after the wash and rinse cycles. Don't use FS often so not that bothered by it being diluted by the spray rinses after final rinse. | ||

Hello, Dear You should be able to get more poundage into your WP. I have two flannel top sheets, doubles, that need a freshening--although it seems as if I'll never need them for a winter that will not come--so I'll do them in the WP which is out on the deck and still wash- worthy. Will fill it to max level, start agitation, and feed the sheets in the old-fashioned way. I expect her to take both; will let you know later.
I know you do not overload, but I think you under-estimate what your Pooly can do. The truth, tho, is that I've never tried sheets in the portable, so maybe I'll be back here at tea time, eating humble pie. | ||

GOT TOO HAPPY, half way thru brunch and went out and did the deed. The sheets are moving perfectly; they're old, tho, and not too thick. It looks as if I could add more. Wish I had pix. It's just that I've used this machine so much for so many different load-types, I knew one sheet would not fill it. Please experiment and let me know. | ||

COMPACT WASHER AND DRYER These little 1.5 cubic foot capacity BD and DD washers will easily wash a set of king sized sheets and the four pillow case covers that go with in one load. I have had many of these machines over the years and this load works very well in this machine.
The dryer lint filter in these small dryers does not generally need to be cleaned every load. This is especially true if the dryer is being used as a portable with no outside exhaust vent. Reasons, a coerce screened lint filter filters MANY times better if it has a thin layer of lint on it when you start the next load, also these small dryers have a very oversized filter compared to the heat input. Even with all my full sized WP built Gas dryers I seldom if ever clean the dryer filter every load if I have not just dried a hugh load of linty towels etc. Because running the dryer with a thin layer of lint on the screen keeps my exhaust systems much cleaner as the lint filter does it job much better.

dryer filters I must say I agree with combo52. With my full size dryer after a load there is barely enough lint on the screen and its almost impossible to get that little amount of lint off. When I do a load of towels however it always fills it up. But just doing my laundry I can go three loads before the filter in the dryer needs cleaned. | ||

Lint
Yes, will agree on that point. Just did the laundry last night and with anything but towels the load leaves litte to no lint on the screen. Am very good though about keeping the filter area clean. Even purchased one of those dryer brush things to get deep down and ferret out fluff balls.
As for king sized sheets will give it a go, but again maybe you all have different sheets than we have here. *LOL* | ||
