I have a front load HE LG new washer and love it. It has a delicate cycle that I use for quilts and have had no problem at all. It does take longer for the cycle to run but makes up for it in the dryer cause it takes so little time to dry. We also have a septic tank and well water so using less water is definitely a concern for us. I was dubious at first but have been very pleased with the quilts washed in this LG washer. Good luck.
