Washing machine size

10 years ago

I am ready to order a machine, decided to go with an LG, but am torn between 3.6 cu ft and 4 cu ft model front loaders. We are a family of 4, no pets. The largest thing I would wash is a fairly lightweight queen size comforter. Is that extra .4 cu ft huge? Am I going to miss it? Is it worth the extra $200? I have a 10 year old whirlpool top loader, and I'm not even sure how much it holds, but I seem to be doing laundry constantly.
