I’m still getting used to this kind of machine. I wish I could open the lid after it starts if I forget to put something in. It can handle a huge load and king sized quilts are no problem. I like the steam feature for a few items. It has very long cycles for towels and normal loads of more than an hour so I usually use the permanent press load for most everything. The agitation is so different than what I had I questioned the clothes mixing and cleaning enough.
