Hi there, and thanks for reaching out to us. We’re so glad to hear you’re loving your new Spacesaver! We strive to provide a great ownership experience and are happy to help with these concerns. Large coats would be washed using the Bulky Items cycle. The washer has 2.3 cu. ft. of capacity, so as long as your parka will fit loosely in the drum (not squeezed in tightly or bulging past the balance ring) you should be able to wash it without issue. Regarding your water resistant rain jacket, you may want to make sure to use an appropriate detergent (depending on how water proof/water resistant the jacket is, the chemicals in normal detergent may break down the composition of the fibers) and wash the jacket by itself. You may want to use a gentle spin cycle or the Delicate cycle and check the label on the jacket to determine if there is an ideal temperature. There is also a description of the cycles and what items they’re best suited for on page 7 of your use and care manual. We hope this information is helpful, and are happy to help with any other questions or concerns you may have. Best wishes! -Sarah@GEA
