We are not a large family but we have some beautiful hand made quilts, the kind that you really do not want to wash at the local washing establishment. We wanted the best high capacity tumbler we could but for drying these handmade quilts and Electrolux kept coming up in our searches. We inquired with others in our circle and so many said they too would have bought had they known that such a machine existed. We have washed and dried several of these quilts and several large spreads. The size item if interested is King although the beds are Queen, we like the overhang. If you need capacity and you care about the item then by all means get the Electrolux 9.0 cu. ft. dryer.
I love this washer, easy to use and delivers a fresh and clean finish. My only concern is that with heavy loads sometimes it does not engage the spin cycle, due to unbalance, as protection but it takes and extra spin cycle manually input to complete it.
