We have a very small space for a stacked washer/dryer and this fit the bill. The capacity is not much smaller than our 30+ yr old washer but - WOW - does everything ever come out a lot cleaner on warm (not hot) and on a much shorter cycle. This washer does not seem to use much water at all, it's just so much more efficient. We'll see for sure when we receive our next water bill. Happy with the purchase and recommend it.
