I can't say enough good things about this little machine! My boyfriend and I live in a small, attic studio, and it fits in my bathroom with no problems. It's quiet enough that my boyfriend can take a nap while it's running. The spin cycle means some serious business! I can wash a pair of heavy denim jeans in the afternoon, and they'll be dry to wear by evening.
It tends to need some babysitting through the end of the cycle, and can be prone to unbalancing, but given it's size, that's not at all unexpected. I have the water draining into my bath tub, and I strongly recommend using something on the end of the drain hose for lint, something a little beefier than those mesh things, as they let a bit of lint through, and will clog your plumbing. I switched over to an old sweat sock, and problem solved.
If you live in an apartment, I strongly recommend this washer. I'm now saving at least $15 a week by not going to the laundromat.
