Product review (3 stars): A little disappointed
Well, I purposely bought this machine so I could do large loads. Turns out, that is not the case. With five kids, ranging from 2-17, I need a heavy duty machine that will get some funky clothes clean. I found that if I use the "jumbo" setting, the clothes come out dirty. What is needed is smaller loads. So this didn't help with less laundry, that's for sure. So now I halve every load, and that did the trick. I wasn't stuffing it full, by any means. So this is disappointing. You really need small loads for this machine to really get the job done. I wish I would have known this beforehand.
