I am so happy about this purchase! So far, what has happened to me over and over again, I turn on the wash and then in the washing machine (in the cellar - out of sight out of mind ;-)) forget! That does not matter now, because I throw my dirty clothes in the huge drum (feels at first like a black hole because so much purely fits) and take the next day (if it comes to mind again) clean, dry wash out again. The laundry is not dry, absolutely not true! Is really dry! As for the filling: have a 2x2m bed sheet, 2 pillows and 2 covers á 155x220 all thrown together into the machine, everything has become totally clean and dry! I love this unit !!
