water resistant items? Can you wash water resistant items in this washer, such as a sleeping bag, rain jacket, or rubber-backed bath mat?

Question

I believe you could since it does have a steam cycle and the size of the tub could easily handle a sleeping bag.

I understand the important of this question. There are many variables to consider with this question. Due to different sizes, styles, and fills of comforters, sleeping bags, and similar items it is hard to determine which ones will or will not fit. If they are very overfilled they may fit will in this washer. Rubber bath mats send to attach to the tub, so they are not recommended for washer cleaning.

Yes! I have not had any problems. Just make sure you put it on bulky items and an appropriate temp which I have found as tap water. Just don't use pods.

I would think that would be more dependent on the washing instructions of the item than the washer itself. It doesn't have an agitator in the middle though, so I think it would be a good choice for things like sleeping bags and I washed my bath mat in it a few times successfully.

Yes. We wash sleeping bags and rain jackets all the time. See the product for washing instructions. I wouldn't put them in a drier though, just hang them to dry.
