Rule is that there should be room for a clenched fist on top of the load. I bet that wasn’t the case with that comforter.

massive tubs

I can see if you had a large family or have a small army of people who need their laundry done. I'd still use common sense by sorting and using the proper cycle.

No.. It wasn't the case...It was a case of pushing it in...and lots of puffyness filling the drum...and almost no amount of water would make it tamp down...so it was basically just rolling...so never tried that again. I CAN easily wash a king bedspread... it's when you're dealing with something puffy and king size that's a problem.. But I can wash puffy king mattress pads.. no issues. This is an overly PUFFY comforter...

I find the 75% full of dry clothes is what I go for... Not only does it seem to wash perfectly but the dryer can dry them perfectly...

I've washed larger loads before and the dryer was too full...more wrinkling.

Even still... I figure I'm doing in 3 loads what would probably be five or possibly six loads in a traditional top loader.

It’s basically impossible to overload a front loading washer

Let me clarify, I’m talking about the danger of damage to the machine, you can overload any washing machine to the point where it will affect cleaning ability and rinsing ability however.

If you’re trying to wash extremely dirty things it’s always been good advice to load a little lighter, the big comforter that you put in the duet Mark would easily have cleaned itself even though it was rolling a ball. I mean, how did you wash it? You might even have to stop the machine and rearrange a time or two but it sure beats taking it to a laundromat.

Hi Mark, you had mentioned that you may not buy a pedestal again when you have to ultimately replace your washer but if you’re handy at all, you can reuse the pedestal on almost any other 27 inch front load washer I know of six Speed Queen front load washers that we’ve installed on whirlpool duet pedestals it’s not that hard to do you just have to attach it firmly.

I think I'm interested in a SF7 for my grandfather's cabin if the Neptune didn't survive from the flood. When I found out today by how much the insurance will give to us for any losses, we'd probably have more than plenty to buy a SQ. Preferably in the black color because I'm not really a fan of the color white. We'll see though

Oh really??? That's good to know my pedestal would work with a SQ....But the ONLY reason I think I don't want a pedestal is because from now on I'm sticking with standard dryers... and since the dryer isn't on a pedestal... I think it would look better if the washer weren't on one either. I honestly don't think I'd mind bending down to get things in/out. I don't mind for the dryer..

I will say that it's definitely much more convenient having them on pedestals when it comes to loading/unloading. It's almost like a luxury having that extra height...When I replaced my duet dryer with a standard one... it was a little getting used to but it's not that bad really
