Hi @SM47, I merged your query into this topic on washing machines as the question is germane for many. I mentioned the problem in another topic,
Front loaders have variously counterweights or shock absorbing pistons to handle balance, some more effective than others. @airedale has previously been asked if Choice could add some kind of balance testing in future but without a standard it would probably be anecdotal.
In answer to your question, the size of the drum matters, and when there is an item that is water laden they will struggle unless there is one or more other similarly ‘heavy’ items that will counterbalance during spinning.
