QuestionCan I fit a King size down comforter in this model
Asked 4 years ago by Debbie.
- Answer I get mine in there. It's a little tight but not terrible. It's difficult to wash king comforters unless you go to the laundry mat and use the big washing machines. With this model, it's bigger than most and I wash my comforter in it. I just run extra rinse. Haven't had any issue.

Asked 4 years ago by nopet.
- Answer It possibly will. I suggest you put rubber on each corner. I used an old tire tube. Cut pieces for each corner and folded for double layer. Works great and the washer won't move around.

Questionwhat is the maximum standpipe height
Asked 4 years ago by andres.
- Answer As long as you don't have a loop in the drain from the washer you should be good. Mine is pretty high so I build pedestals high enough so my drain pipe won't retain any water. If you have sitting water it the pipe, sometimes this is what causes the smell in the washer. Always leave the washer door open when not in use.

Asked 4 years ago by RB.
- Answer Save yourself the trouble and DO NOT BUY from Worst Buy. Check out Home Depot and Lowes. BB does not stand by their own policy and buying my appliances from them has been a nightmare

QuestionTo anyone who has had the washer for a while: is the door flimsy and breakable? A few of the comments suggest it seems so. Also, easy or difficult to prevent mildew? Thanks
Asked 4 years ago by Elle.
- Answer We've had our dryer for about 2 weeks and our washer for about a month. Both doors seem normal, all you do is open and close them. Not sure how they would break... unless you put your weight on it, but why? No mildew smell at all yet from washer.
