The just because it physically fit in the old washer doesn't mean it actually could wash that amount (especially if it had no agitator).
Old washers used a lot more water and could actually wash large items well even with an agitator. I have no problem washing king-size bedding in mine or large loads of jeans and towels. I tested mine after I put it back together a few days ago, pumped out enough water on the wash cycle to fill three 5-gallon buckets. The EPA is just going to keep ratcheting down on water/energy consumption on new products, better to buy some old, inefficient and durable equipment now.

I'm thinking in terms of his "past top load washers" being anything bought in the last 10-15 years, most being HE with no agitators. You are speaking of washers made before the "high efficiency" low water usage craze. The SQ's motor is more powerful and the spin cycle technology is better than all but the top of the line washers you are speaking of. It is nearly impossible to unbalance a load to the point of the machine throwing an error code.
If his old washers had no agitator, then his wife, like the majority of those users probably just loaded the entire drum full of clothes instead of placing them in a circle around the outside like you would with an agitator. The machines "hold" the same amount of clothing loaded correctly. The SQ will outwash nearly any other washer on the market. No one, outside of some old boomers, are going to out and buy some old 20 year old POS washer off of FB or a weekly want ad...
