This is only good for one person or a couple. It is small and takes 3-5 hours to do a load. You have to plan. I set it up to run in the morning and delay it to start in the afternoon so when I get home it has a couple hours left. You MUST fold immediately or clothes will wrinkle badly depending on material. But it makes me fold the clothes keeps me on top of my laundry. But I love how much space I have in my bathroom now! It does shake quite a bit when spinning, and creeps across my floor, probably more because my floor is pretty un level, but the washer IS level, the front legs are maxed out. Still like it though.
