Small but still does the job. The men who installed it hooked up the hose for drainage, so I don't have to empty any water after drying a load. It may take a little longer to dry some items, but not much longer than the unit it replaced. It does get hot, so I leave the closet door open (my units are stacked in a closet), but it doesn't take long to cool down and it's not noisy. I am very happy!
