This is our second machine of the same kind this year and we've had the same issues with both. You can't wash a fleece blanket and sheets together because the sensor is so sensitive about the weight of the load that the fleece blanket will bang around in the machine. You have to remove whatever heavy item, or items that soaks up a lot of water, in order for the machine to finish doing its thing. If I had an option to buy two separate machines, I would have done that instead. I hate how sensitive this machine is and how easy it is to have an unbalanced load. If you're considering buying it, look at other reviews first and compare other 2-in-1 options. Frigidaire has failed us twice this year, already, and those two machines were purchased to replace the first machine we had.
