Product review (5 stars): Perfect for tiny apartments
I moved to a new apartment where the laundromat is almost half a mile away. I bought this washer once I got fed up with constantly lugging carts of laundry across my neighborhood. I wasn't expecting it'd fit as much as it does! Six loads on this washer took care of two weeks' worth of laundry (about 3 washers and $15 at the laundromat). The best part is I don't have to deal with dirty washers and other people's grime. While I don't think it'll be good for my linens too, I can probably reduce laundry trips to about one a month.

The noise isn't bad. I probably wouldn't operate it late at night, but in daytime hours, it's no worse than any other household appliance. As for space -
 I have a tiny kitchen that can't fit anything extra, but rolling this thing away when I'm done is pretty easy, and it's not too hard finding a corner for it even in a small apartment.

Most important tip - make sure every connection is tightly wrenched, and test the water supply before you plug this in. Enjoy!
