A:Answer Hello there,
I just purchased this machine and recently washed some blankets and sheets together. The water definitely gets high enough to cover and wash a big load. So far, the "sensor" is "doing the right thing" with every load I've washed so far. However, if you are going to do a load of blankets and sheets, you will have to minimize how much you put in. I had to separate the sheets from the blankets because I got that awful knocking noise on the spin cycle. Once I removed the sheets, everything was fine on the spin cycle. I was surprised at this because my old washing machine (Calibro) was excellent at handling big loads. So, I hope this information helps!
