A:Answer The 7.0 Cu. Ft is the size of the drum or how much you can dry at once. I dry 2 queen size sheets, a queen size mattress cover and 2 pillow cases with plenty of room left over. I'm sure when I wash my queen size comforter I will be able to dry it with no problem. I believe the 23 cycles are referring to different setting combinations for fabric type, drying temperature and how dry you want the items to be (damp, slightly damp, dry).
