I live in a very small 1920s house and this was the only size of washer/dryer that would fit in my storage area. I was nervous it wouldn't be big enough to do loads of things like sheets etc, but I'm happy to say that I'm washing sheets AND a duvet cover in it right now! I also love how many setting options there are (some other brands' apartment size washer/dryers barely have more than an on/off switch.).
