- Is an agitator better than an impeller for stains?
- For heavy soils, yes. The agitator physically moves clothes through the water, which helps on mud, grease and work clothes. Impeller models are gentler on delicates but can be weaker on stubborn stains.
- Will it fit a king-size comforter?
- Yes. The 5.3 cu. ft. drum is sized for bulky items like king comforters and blankets, though a large load may need a second rinse.
- Does it work with Alexa and Google Assistant?
- Yes. It supports both, so you can start or check cycles by voice if you connect it to your smart home.
- What does the Extra Power button do?
- It adds more wash action and time to the cycle to help remove tough stains. Use it on heavily soiled loads rather than everyday laundry.
- Is it good for delicate clothes?
- It can be, but the agitator is rougher than an impeller. Use a delicate cycle and mesh bags for fine fabrics.
- How much space does it need?
- It is about 27 inches wide and 28 inches deep, and the lid needs clearance above. Measure your opening and door swing before buying.
