We selected this machine as we are limited by the depth in our laundry closet and this fit the bill. We subsequently bought the platform to go underneath to raise it up as it was a bit smaller than we originally envisioned. I would have given it 5 stars but we had a broken part and had to call for service after first use, but once repaired it works as expected, is nice to not have to switch loads between a separate washer and dryer, and dries the clothes well so long as you follow the directions on how large of a load to do at once. Overall we are happy with our choice of machine.
