I was so surprised that the washer is big, but! Compare to the reviews, it's reachable inside the washer. My height is 5ft 7". So yeah, its deeper for anyone shorter than 5ft 2". 
About the machine itself, i like it. It's big, useful, and has functions i need. I can choose water temp, spin level, soil level, etc, its detail enough, along with how long the washing would be. About the noise, i find it okay, a little silence than what my in-law has. The ring or alarm is quite loud, i can hear from different room, which is good. Oh, and somehow, my electricity is indeed affected, but not as expensive as when you use laundromat or laundry service. 
Overall good. I might consider buy its dryer counterpart in the future
