We have a small laundry room, and the previous homeowner had an oversized top loading washer and dryer, which took up over half the room. The LG tower slipped in perfectly, taking up the vertical unused space - and we were able to slip in a refrigerator/freezer beside it. We are finding it cleans thoroughly, is very quiet, and it does a great job of spinning out the water so that drying seems to take less time. I can put in a set of king sheets and 4 pillowcases with no problems, and the dryer dries them evenly too - no bunching. Very happy with the purchase.
