I've owned euro washers for 26 years. Of course they are a little smaller but I haven't had any issues washing king sized sheets and blankets...depending on how fluffy the blankets are. I switched to tide pods a few years ago for dosing purposes because hubby was always overdosing liquid detergent. We use powder for our whites. But before I got a water softener I didn't have any suds problems.

I gave up my huge front loading washer/dryer because I wanted a set I could put under counter. Never looked back. Our loads were never that huge to begin with. I keep things sorted in the laundry room and I do a load when a bin is full. For two of us I average about 5 loads a week. I do a load each workday morning. |

Reply #4 - It's funny you brought that up. I bought my first front loader around 1999ish. It was an Asko, and I remember the sales man saying to me "you don't want to use detergent in the first few loads you do because you want to get rid of the residual detergent left over from your top loader." I remember the first few loads I did had lots of suds in the window which surprised me. I was always conservative in the amount of detergent I used in my TL Maytag. |
