Q: What is the weight capacity of this washer? How many bath towels can it wash?

A: Very please with the washer. We wash California King comforter, blankets with no problem. Also tried putting 12-15 pairs of jeans and a few shirts and tow and the washer does a very good job. Hope I answered your questions.

Q: I'm trying to decide between a 4.3 cu.ft. clothes washer and the 5.0 cu.ft. That's a difference of 0.7 cu.ft. Can someone tell me what 0.7 cu.ft. equates to in an understandable way?

A: Even though it is not a huge difference it will still be better to get a larger one if the price difference is not substantial. It really will make a difference if & when you are washing a pillow, a big blanket or a comforter. As they say, bigger the better, right?

Q: Does this washer have a delay start option?

A: This model does not have a delay start.

Q: Would my older pedestal measuring 27" wide by 23 5/8" front to back fit this machine? I would rather re-use it if possible.

A: Hi ColoradoGal. Model WFW8620HW can only use pedestal part numbers XHP1000XW, WFP2715HW and WFP2715HC.

Q: How do you clean the coin trap? Is it easily accessible with a drawer under the washer?

A: YOu are able to access the filter in the washer drawer. You can view the steps to cleaning this filter here. https://bit.ly/3bGYRrv

    Great Capacity & Features

    Love the washer- especially its size and features like interior light, detergent dispenser

    Huge washer. HUGE!

    It’s big. Large enough that loads I used to have to split now fit with room to spare. Seems to do an excellent job of washing and the time is accurate (my older front-loaders used to stall on 1 minute remaining for about the last 10 minutes of the cycle.) I love the multitude of washing options and the fact that my house no longer feels like an earthquake is happening when it enters spin cycle. Could it be quieter? Perhaps. But a great washer for the value.

    Great Dryer!

    I replaced an aging GE model with this dryer. It has a very large capacity and is very good at drying everything. It is quiet and easy to use.
