I agree that the lid lock is a dumb idea. I will also only buy top-loading machines. I bought a GE large capacity set in 2005 and took it with me when I moved in 2015. Unfortunately the house I wound up buying was plumbed for gas, and my set was electric. I used a front loader (left by the previous owners of this house) for a while. The lack of control over what happened during the wash cycle was frustrating. Finally I bought the supposedly improved GE large capacity set and sold the other two sets on craigslist. The new washer does the job, but I don't like the controls on it as well as the older model. I have washed queen and king quilts in it with no problems.
