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.

Interesting

since the sales staff I spoke with on the phone in two separate stores had conflicting replies.
I'm considering down sizing my machines because I have limited space in the laundry area with no room left for you to deal with a hose or venting problem.

Thank you Combo52
 
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.
 
should be fine

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.

Downsizing

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.
