To ask if a 7kg dryer can do a kingsize duvet?

[PiperChapstick]

Or will I have to go up to 8kg? Sorry boring question but the bastard dryer door literally fell apart in my hand and found a cheaply one but its only 7kg!

Duvet or duvet cover?

I'm not sure a kingsize duvet itself would fit into my washing machine which is 8kg I think.

That is not an unreasonable question, no.

I've just bought a 7kg washer and got a 7kg drier, I would say that my washer would struggle (big drum height wise but not very deep) with a thick quilt but would probably manage my 4.5 tog summer quilt. The drier would probably be able to dry a slightly thicker one but I don't think it could do a 10 tog.

Our 7kg indesit cheapy drier manages the 4.5 tog king quilt but I wouldn't want to try anything bigger (they go to the dry cleaners when they come off at the end of winter-duvet-season)

We put our summer 4.5 tog in the 8kg washer and dryer, but wouldn't put a winter one in it.

Had tried way too small but mine is 13 tog

In a word...no. For a king size duvet you'd need to go up to a 9kg with an extra-large drum. Ours is 7kg and we just about get the covers, sheets and pillowcases in.

Ooops, thought you meant washing machine. I still think you'd need a much bigger one though.

You might get it in, you might, just, get the door closed. It aint gonna dry speaks the voice of experience

It's a bugger, you'll have to find a launderette or drape it over the stairs more experience

My 5kg machine can do a
5 tog KS duvet
9 tog double or single duvet

But not the 9 tog KS duvet, or the 13 tog single / double.

I dry mine over the banisters on the landing and then when it's dry squeeze it into the tumble drier for half an hour - it's a 13 tog and tumble drier is only a standard size.

It does fit single duvets in fine.

I doubt it, unless it's an exceptionally thin duvet.

Is it feather? I have a feather super king and do it in a 7kg dryer. My friend has synthetic duvet and can't get it in.

I just put a winter double in an 8kg dryer and that was a squeeze - I don't think a king size would have fitted.

Thanks everyone. Gonna go for a 8kg dryer to be on safe side found a good deal.

Why would you think it may be an unreasonable question to ask? I suppose whether it's an unreasonable question to ask would depend on who you plan to ask and where you plan to ask this question.

Why do people post passive aggressive messages deliberately being unhelpful? Seriously what's the point? Are you short of things to do today?
