This is a very nice top loader.  However, in our limited ownership (less than 60 days), we have tried to wash coverlets,blankets, bath mats, etc. and it really struggles..always seems to unbalance.  I end up having to squeeze out the water from the heavier item, and repositioning to balance the unit....not quite what we expected...Perhaps, we still need to learn a few tricks on how to handle these bulkier items.   My old front loader did a much better job with blankets/rugs, etc.
