If you need an apartment-sized washer, this is a good one. There are enough cycles to do just about anything, but you can also customize them and save your own cycle. And it's quiet. I have it right in my kitchen, so this was important. It's good looking, too. It would have been better if it came in stainless steel, but still it looks good. The disappointment for me is that the matching electric dryer is as noisy as the washer is quiet.
