My townhome has a "nook" in the second floor bathroom that only allows for a specific dimension for the washer and dryer. This model fit the bill. (gas dryer) I removed 20 year old Frigidaire Crown series units. The dryer is slightly louder than the old but not much. I would contribute that to the fact the Frigidaire units were "tanks" and these are a bit lighter in weight. Dries awesome. Each selection dries as it suggests
