i've done several loads of laundry and the large capacity is really awesome. i've been able to wash large comforters with ease. on the cycles i have used once the load goes into spin mode the clothes come out very dry. it really helps cut down on the drying time in the dryer as well. i've only had one issue with the washer and that's the fact that i can't reach the clothes at the very bottom. i'm 5'4"and the bottom of the washer is completely out of reach for me. i have utilized a grabber to help me get the last of the items out of the unit to put in the dryer.
