We replaced a traditional agitator top load washer and a heat pump dryer with this unit. So far, we are pleased! It is wider than the other appliances, but also allowed us to move our deep freeze into the laundry room. It holds a full hamper full of clothes. I love that I just load it up with my preferred laundry detergent and it can auto-detect to use based on the load. At the end of the cycle, a summary of the wash is provided if you choose AI to let you know what took place.
