2nd washer for King Size Comforter

[DADoES]

 
JohnnyMac,

Frontloaders take much less volume of water than deep-fill toploaders, so much of the heat on a hot or warm fill is lost via thermal absorption to the cold mass of the clothes and the machine's outer tub and spin-drum.  An onboard heater boosts the temperature on a designated Sanitary or Allergen cycle or with the steam option engaged.

"and leave a stinky smell on Under Armor type fabric. "

For me, the only treatment for the odor in I call it "Slinky" material is Wet the Pits of the shirt and rub Fels Naptha on the arm pit area.

I tried all different things even spraying Hydrogen Peroxide but that material seems to harbor odor. The Fels Naptha worked.

Yep had Sanitize cycle, so like you said must have had an internal heater.

Im gonna say get an Electrolux 627 or 527 set. The 627 has smartboost on the washer and a stainless drum on the dryer, the 527 doesn't have either. Both have the re-circulation spray. They will handle king size laundry without issue.

If you buy from a dealer that is part of the BrandSource group, there is an additional $100 rebate that you can tag with the Electrolux main $100 rebate.

In my opinion, you can't find a better cleaning laundry set.

Stackable LG WM8100HVA 5.2 cu ft

I'd want a minimum of 4.5 Cu. Ft. for a king comforter preferably 5.0 Cu. Ft. or more. WM4370HKA 4.5 cu ft works with the KSTK1 stacking kit, my preference the WM8100HVA 5.2 cu ft uses the KSTK2 stacking kit. I have a 2017 SQ TL and have thought of doing a similar setup. You could also look for a good used 20-25 pound Softmount Washer-Extractor but I'm not sure if those are stackable. Also, you'd have to set up a drain system for those.

For odors, stains, etc. I use Biz with warm or hot water and the soak option and an extra rinse or two to help wash out the strong Biz fragrance.

WM4370HKA is $1,150 at Costco
WM8100HVA is $1,050 at Costco
WM3770HVA is 1,050 at Costco
