I have two questions regarding them: If they are so great, why do you have to use/buy special cleaning agents to keep the machine from stinking? If you have to clean your washer, how clean is it getting your clothes?
I'm sorry, I can't answer the question regarding washing a queen sized quilt.

My dear Sister in law bought a set of front loaders, a month after she got it, it was so fouled my mold and/or mildew, I could not stay to visit. I am allergic to mold and mildew. She sent them back. A washer you have to wash or sanitize, that to me is a giant step back to washing in a giant kettle in the yard, which by the way was not a mold hazard.
BTW- my front loading set is from the seventies, and still gets our clothes nice and clean, and except for a couple huge items that we take to the laundromat, it washes my quilts just fine. Mine are Kenmore.
