I have an HE toploader washing machine and it has the option of doing a "deep wash". Actually, it has several different preprogramed cycles that I can select and in most of those preset cycles, I have the option of changing some things like temperature, spin speed, and adding the "deep wash" setting where it does fill up the tub more. There is also an option to create a "My Cycle" that the machine will remember. It also has a huge basket where I have to stand on my tippy toes to reach the bottom and spin the tub towards me to grab that last sock out. The matching dryer is also huge, and both take less than an hour to wash or dry a large load. One drawback, if I place a small load in the dryer, the dryer sense bar will not sense right and will turn off the dryer thinking everything is dry, so I have to use the timer cycle when I dry a small load. Basically, I do like them but don't use most of the cycles. The pair does handle large quilts well.
