The 5.2-cubic-foot drum is quite spacious and can easily accommodate my largest loads.

I often wash two queen-size quilts at a time, but because they’re so heavy when wet, the quilts must be perfectly arranged within the washer drum.

It's loudest during the washing cycle as it agitates clothes, producing a mechanical whirring noise that registers around 60 decibels.

Praise often centers around the product’s intuitive interface, deep fill feature, and the fact that it gets laundry clean quickly and quietly.
