This is my first time with a stackable laundry center and it is so compact yet the drums are deceivingly large! I am impressed how much I can fit in. There are a lot of options for settings but it is very simple to use. I am glad I have long arms because reaching the back bottom of the washer drum could be difficult for someone small. It beeps three times when done and continues to repeat every minute or so until you press cancel or open the door, I haven’t figured out a way to turn off this function. The washer isn’t noticeably quieter than my old one, but the dryer is very quiet and fast. overall I would recommend!
