I nearly broke my washing machine trying to wash the oddie in it.

When it's soaked with water it's so unbelievably heavy that it unbalanced my washing machine which is a top loader.

My Front loader has managed it before I think - I usually give it two spins too to get the extra water out of it

I don't have an oldie, but I do have a very very thick puffer jacket. The tag says delicate wash, but the washing machine does a spin speed of 800 for delicate vs 1600 regularly which leaves it dripping water. Unfortunately the washing machine also doesn't have an option for just a spin, only rinse and spin, so I usually do a delicate wash then a 1600 rinse and spin afterwards and dry in front of the heater
