I recently bought this Speed Queen washer and I couldn't be happier with it. I have been washing very big loads of jeans with no problem. I'm sure I have put at least 7 pairs in it. It is a real work horse.

I don't have any experience with a front load machine. Mine is a HE top loader. The package instructions say to toss the Unstopables directly into the washer with the clothes. That's what I do. No problems for me.

I don't have a front load machine but on my top loader I use the 1/2c. I have depended on Borateem for most of my adult life and there is nothing to equal it. I have not been able to buy it in Wichita, KS or anywhere close for several years. I resorted to buying it in Ohio when we visit family but now I can't get it there either. My clothes started getting grey and just didn't look as clean and I complained to my husband that I just didn't understand why no one carried it. My husband researched it and found it on line for me. I don't know why we hadn't thought about that before. Anyway, front loader or top loader, I am one happy housewife with white and clean clothes thanks to Borateem!!!!

I think I counted over 15 pairs of jeans the other day. I have a commercial grade washer and sometimes have to divide the darks (jeans and everything else) into two loads. It just depends on how many the teenager crams into the hamper. We have 5 - 2 regular adults, 1 special needs adult, a teen girl and a preschooler. It holds plenty for us. One load of whites, one reds and the darks usually 2 loads per week. The great thing about this hamper is the sections can kind of bulge to accomodate larger loads. You can unhook the section you need to haul to the laundry room and it is impressively heavy duty and well made of quality materials. I think I counted over 15 pairs of jeans the other day.

You can put about 3-6 shirts/sweaters, depending on whether you're talking t-shirts or hooded sweatshirts, and then add some socks, washcloths, hand towels. Jeans/pants - You could put 4 in, but sweatpants, I'd put 3, and again add some misc little stuff. With sheets - a fitted & flat queen sheet can go in together, but unfortunately sometimes it seems to cause one of them to somehow get caught over the center "swish" piece. So I typically wash one of them & add a bunch of other small stuff. Not for washing pillows or blankets - though you could toss a throw in. It does a good job, but the thing I hate most about it is if you keep it somewhere when not in use & then wheel it to a sink to hook up to water, the wheeling isn't the most smooth in the world. This is primarily related to the leveling knob on the side, which can pop out of the frame a lot. So if your load is imbalanced with a bigger item (if ya can fit it), that helps level it, but then is a pain in the neck. It cleans well, but it's definitely a moderate size closer to the small side than large. Hope that makes sense!

I have been able to get a replacement washer, and the customer service lady has been exceptionally helpful. They made videos for me with commentary that they emailed me to show how to assemble the machine, and also sent me some photos of the way parts of the machine should look. You can phone them on 626-968-1000. If they have the part, I'm sure you can get it from them.

It is very bulky so I brought ours to a laundromat and used the large capacity washer for $7.00 It worked fine and then dried it for $2.00 in their large dryer. It came out great!

Are you asking if the sink is too big? I don't think so - seems some folks just use the bathtub! I measured the plastic tub I use (which I put in the bathtub) - it is a 12"x17" rectangle that is 12" deep. I can wash a load of undies, or a couple shirts and slacks or a queen sheet in the tub without even filling it clear up. I would think if you use a laundry sink, which might be bigger, you would just keep the water more shallow. You can tell when you have the water high enough to plunge the clothes around easily. In fact, I was just reading the newer reviews here and I like the idea of putting a laundry basket inside the washing tub so you can lift out the clothes to empty the water. You could certainly do that inside a laundry tub! Also, I just did a couple loads yesterday and am still enjoying the mobile washer - short handle and all. My handle has not loosened, but I'm sure I can fix it if it does. I really do like this device - it keeps my inner hippy chick alive in my social security aged body!

maybe an industrial washer & dryer, too big & bulky when wet for a normal washer & dryer

Yes, we have a king and you need a very large capacity washer. I washed my on gentle spin it came out nicely.

It's 33" x 15" x 15". I have a large washer so I use it for 3 loads. Agree 6 loads would have to be small loads.

The only way to answer your question is for one of us who own it to test it to failure for you - not likely to happen. Perhaps you might ask us if it can hold "8 pairs of jeans" or "20 sweaters" or whatever it is you are concerned to hold, and see what the user base experience is.

Excellent question. Nellie's is designed to work with HE washers, so my guess is 4 - 5 pairs of jeans or 4 bath towels plus hand towels or a set of king sheets. An armload, a not exactly heaping basket full. I use Nellie's for everything ant these describe my regular loads. I do use her laundry booster with the very dirty things...

I got the twin size and it definetely can be washed in a home washer. I'm sure the queen size would also fit comfortably in your washer. Although I have yet to wash it (it's new) I feel it will wash well since it's cotton. Hope this helps.

This week my old washing machine broke down and while I viewed machines I noticed this detail 'Today's machines range from 3.1 to 4.5 cubic feet in capacity. An "average" family of four will find 4.0 to 4.2 should meet their needs.'...I would say it depends on the 'regular' size of your washer as it seems the home ones can vary. Do you usually wash comforters in your machine? I would have been able to wash the sleeping bag in the machine I have, if it were working. :D

Sorry, this one is too small. You may want to include in your search a large or extra large toilet seat. It seems to me when I was searching for this one I did come across some large seats. Wish you luck.

Basically one washing machine load. I did my 3x Carhartt coat in my front loader and could have easily fit 2 or 3 pairs of pants in there too. Just be sure to run an empty load first to get all the detergent residue out of the washer first.
