Product review (4 stars): I'm glad I did because it works
I recently moved into a studio that had no washer dryer hook ups.  I'm spoiled after using front load machines for several years.  I did my homework on this and read the reviews, before finally purchasing it.  I'm glad I did because it works!  It's similar to a full size machine as far as performance.  It gets my clothes dry without any problems.  It takes about an hour to dry a few pairs of pants, tops, socks & intimates.  The only reason it didn't receive 5 stars is because it's a bit loud, but that could be due to confined space; it also warms up the room.  I recommend this machine for anyone who hates hanging stuff to dry and/or go to the laundry-mat.
