My space was limited & this was the only thing that would fit. I was skeptical but I honestly love it. It washes & then dries. It will also dry separately. Easy to use and I have had no problems. I wish I had purchased the pedestal.  I can wash a full set of Queen sheets or about 4 bath towels, several hand towels and several wash cloths. It’s great for me. I just do smaller loads. It’s about 3 hrs total wash & dry time. If clothes aren’t dry then do a separate times dry load for 30 minutes or whatever is required. I love it.
