If you are a single person with no kids or you do laundry everyday then this is perfect for you.  Since I have a family of four and I don't want to do laundry daily, it doesn't work for me.  It is extremely small.  I can only fit one load of laundry in the whole hamper.  I paid $180 and my refund will only be $112 if I return it, so I guess I'm going to have to keep it.  Very disappointed.
