I live in NYC with my boyfriend and our daughter and have a laundry room in the basement; we live on the 4th floor. We have an elevator, thankfully, and being able to wheel this down to do all the laundry in one go is perfect and the fact that we can instantly separate the clothes as we take them off, means no need to spend 10 minutes beforehand separating lights from darks, delicates from bedding etc. Efficiency at it's best as far as I'm concerned. I love the fact you can remove the compartments easily too, so if only got a few items to wash I can just take the bag instead of wheeling the whole thing down.
