I saw these at one of the locally owned appliance mega dealers today. That drum sure is cavernous! The store had quite a number of them out on the display floor.
And it fills up with water all the way? It must take 55 gallons of water for a full full. The only thing I didn't like about it was that the controls of the machine are right on the front top. Any clothes you dump in the drum will pass right over the controls.
Let us know how you like it and how much you can load it down.
