I have a blanket like that, mine is white.
I'm shocked to know that your LG couldn't handle it... I've already washed mine in probably all of my 21 washers, except the Whirlpool countertop wringer and the Silk Lux because it wouldn't fit. The best machine to wash it (in my case) is the Hotpoint portable because the agitation is very gentle and that workhorse can spin even with the worst sudslock happens, but I washed it a couple of days ago in the 24 inch whirlpool thin twin just to see how it would behave with a big load. It was perfect (but too aggressive "shredmore" agitation). Even the WCI skinny mini handles it easily. The only washer that struggles a little is the 1.6 cu ft Magic chef. It suds lock beautifully and I can hear it struggling until all that water finally drains. | ||

Miele washing machines of old
Were built to near commercial quality standards, thus not surprised your 12XX series was able to handle that blanket with ease.
That being said one reason got the Maytag wringer was to wash bulky and heavy items instead of taxing the Miele or even AEG Lavamat. My Miele is older than your 12XX and thus lacks sophiscated distribution and motor controls. It will attempt to balance a load but for so long; but when that action times out and timer says "lets rock", it's off to the races; banging, clanging and vibrating if needed. After spending >$300 for new suspension system, that on top of $$$ to have shocks replaced a few years before you can see why am not going down that rabbit hole again. The Lavamat will handle a queen sized cotton or wool blanket, but takes ages. Also build quality isn't a patch on a Miele. When queried AEG tech support up north said he couldn't recommend doing heavy blankets in this washer. If worse comes to the worse, have wash tubs and two hand cranked mangles. Then would take a cotton blanket off to laundromat and bake excess water out of fabric. *LOL* | ||
