I've washed countless down jackets and vests and have never had a problem. I've not done a bag, but that should not be any harder - just takes longer to dry. We have a newer, larger front load washing machine and it works well as there is no agitator to muck up the bag. If you go the dry cleaner route - look for one who knows what they are doing as not all of them are good specifically with down.
