We also have a Whirlpool Cabrio. I have already posted my Cabrio story elsewhere on this thread. The laundry tends to ball up in the bottom if I do not take care to arrange things properly. Example: place bottom sheet in washer first, then the pillow cases, and lastly the fitted top sheep. I wash bulky and/or oddly shaped items (quilts, dog bed, large pillows) without difficulty.

I do make a point to carefully drape large items like blankets and sheets in a circular manner when loading the washer, plus I make a point of not overloading the machine. It does not bother me that it takes longer than my old Kenmore. Even with four teens at home and a full time job I did a load or two every day instead of a mountain of wash once a week.

Thanks for telling me your “method”...we’ll try that.

As for big things, I’ve even tried adding smaller items to a big item wash to try to get all items to stay situated. But, the large item tends to wrap around the small items creating an even bigger donut shaped lump in the bottom of the drum. I’ve settled for just pausing the cycle occasionally and pulling things apart. What a PITA.
