Good question and I'll be watching the answers. Our dryer is large capacity, but when I have it quite full, the clothes come out more wrinkled than a medium-size load.

Hi Cav. Where are are the regulars..have they all followed Larsi. Been reading some older threads......some responses seem to be textbook replies from he said/she said. Let's get back to real world experiences..

Washer choices aside, I feel like I should just get the large/largest LG dryer for the space at hand, even it it will be a mismatch set ! I'm going to have to re-read Larsi older Little Gian. usage threads and I do recall words of King Sized in there......

:o My dryer is 7.4 cubic feet and the MATCHING top loading washer is 5 (or 5.2). I find that my laundry loads are smaller due to the water constraints (even tho I have figured out how to use most, if not all, of the water I want to use). I also enjoy doing laundry more now with the new w/d and a revamped laundry room :) Do most w/d sets have dryers 2x the cf of the washer?

I think I remember the name "Larsi". Where did she go that others followed?

a1an - IDK where everyone went but I stayed here. :-)

Larsi is a guy that got tired of people on Houzz reporting him for using colorful wording and acronyms. He really didn't swear per se.

He runs a Facebook page about laundry.

I'd follow him but I despise Facebook.

Facebook. Me too! I thought I was the only one that didn't do Facebook :o

I did really read much when the exodus occured. However, based on past postings of similar interests (miele owner here), I never spotted any colorful tones , not that I was looking for it either...

I was briefing that other long winded Miele thread. Flamesuit on, but who knew one can be so focused on the app. What if I lost or misplaced my phone. No laundry can be done ? I've had the App for my Miele DW for 2 years now. Never have touched it except for when it sends me a banner update saying cycle is done. Doesn't matter...I usually do the load at night and put the away in the morning. Must be a different buyer/owner mindset.

Not a fan of touchscreen....hate my car electronic cluster display or touch hvac controls. I guess I'm stuck in a analog world...

It'd be a trick for a 10 cu ft dryer to fit into a household laundry space, LOL. That's one reason why those uber-sized washers nowadays are somewhat silly and more for marketing purposes than actual usability. Sure, one can perhaps fit an overstuffed king-size comforter into the washer but how well does it tumble and dry in the dryer without rearranging several times?

When I dry large comforters or blankets, I always have to rearrange them. That's been the case with any dryer I've had in 40 years. I bought the larger washer so I could get the amt of water I wanted AND for a king size white comforter (not over stuffed). I'm able to submerge it in water. Using Tide powder with bleach (thank you again!) and Oxy Clean, I soak it for an hour. It comes clean but there is some (not much) lint I need to pick off as I'm putting it back on the bed.

I've noticed something interesting on the Miele T1 (which is a great machine BTW). Feels like fuller loads actually dry faster than the some of the smaller loads do.

On wrinkling, hasn't really been an issue if you don't over dry the clothes and take them out right after the cycle is done. They might feel damp, but if you take them out and shake, everything actually turns dry (It was odd to adjust to, but really like it now). I'm able to wash/dry sheets without wrinkling by putting them on Bed Linens cycle -- Dry your fitted sheets and pillowcases together (Don't overdry) and dry the duvet cover separately. I will say one by product of the smaller dryer, things like pillows actually wash/dry much better than they did in my full size front loader. I don't have balancing issues with spinning pillows as I did with the larger washer.

A1an: I hate touch sensor controls, too -- give me buttons and knobs any day of the week. Bought a new dishwasher recently and when choosing between models chose the one without the touch sensor controls.

I also refuse to use facecrook.

Anyway, to answer the original question -- with my dryer I find that a larger load equates to fewer wrinkles and much better drying. If the load is small, the baffles act like shelves and the clothes go round and round, landing flat on top of each baffle. Dryer balls don't help. If I have a small load I'll usually combine it with another load to avoid that problem.

I miss the older Kenmore/Whirlpool 29" dryers. When we purchased our newer 27" Duet dryer, the capacity is quite a bit smaller. I do not like the fact that the clothes do not tumble nearly as well with a full load, especially towels. I did notice quickly that with a larger load, there are more wrinkles. A medium load dries with ease. The airflow can be limited too. The quad baffles are nice for tiny loads, but not with blankets. Our old Kenmore excelled at drying comforters! The Duet, even with a Bulky cycle and on more dry struggles.
