Big enough for a king comforter? null

Question

Rick · Accepted Answer

Yes... It can easily wash King comforter

Vicki · Answer

I have washed a king sized goose-down comforter in my machine without any problems. Keep in mind though that down compacts quite a bit when wet, so I'm not sure how it will do with a non-down comforter. But so far, so good for me with my king size bed linens.

i was told that 'if it fits, it will be clean'....
however, i am not that comfortable putting a king comforter in it. i feel that once it fills up with water, it might be too heavy for the spin cycle.

I washed a queen duvet with no problem; I would think a king would be fine. The instruction manual says you can fill up the tub.

Hi Ally,
Your interest in the LG - SteamWasher 4.0 Cu. Ft. 9-Cycle Ultralarge-Capacity High-Efficiency Steam Front-Loading Washer, Model # WM3250HWA is greatly appreciated. Thank you for contacting us with your question concerning whether or not this washer is big enough for a King size comforter.
The answer for that is not quite so simple only because there are so many different fills that are used in comforters making their respective weights very different. So allow me to answer your question this way. 4.0 cu. ft. is a large capacity and can hold from 14-16 lbs of washing, but that is wet clothing! As you and I know, wet clothing can be extremely heavy, especially a comforter!
Knowing the weight of your comforter will definitely help, fold it up and put it on a scale and weigh it! How much water soaks it is the key and if it appears that your comforter may possible exceed the weight capacity, it would not be advisable to put it into the washer 'cause you risk destroying your washer!
So in answer to your question, Yes, it is big enough, but I say that while issuing you the above caveat on the weight! Proceed with caution...IFV
