We are a family of 3 and needed a small washer/dryer combo to fit in a cabinet as part of a remodel.  We were concerned that the washing capacity wouldn't be enough but decided to purchase anyway.  We were wrong!  We don't do any additional loads as compared to our old full size washer.  All the laundry comes out clean, nearly dry because the adjustable spin cycle really does the job when you choose high, and it's so quiet!  We love all the setting options.  I would highly recommend this unit.
