Can a 2.6 capacity front load washer hold / clean a double / full size comforter? I haven't seen one on display to compare, if anyone can help. Tks |

A washer with recirculation pump would handle it better, but any should be capable. |

the sales staff is the LAST person you should ask, and expect an honest answer....
always ask a mechanic, or someone who actually owns and uses one....now or in the past..... I have a washer like this, which is not much bigger than what your considering, and handles a king size quilt with no issues....

Much will depend upon what sort of filling inside comforter or quilt.
Down and feathers will compact quite a lot once wet and or air expelled. Polyester and other man made fibers will not. You'd be surprised at how even a large king sized down duvet looks like nothing by end of washing after final spin has removed air/water. In fact many front loaders with a dedicated "duvet" cycle begin with spinning item first to remove air/flatten. |

I have a Maytag 2.4 cu/ft machine and it does a full size poly flll comforter with no issue, no issue with doing down filled duvet in it either.

won't be so difficult after reading this, just making a decision on which set to buy, as there are not many choices out there after some of the reviews I've read on what is available to buy. Tks |
