Product review (5 stars): if you've ever lived in Europe, you'll understand the appeal
It's a fabulous washing machine.  It's optimal for people who want a washing machine near the living space or bedrooms of the home - because it's so quiet.  If you have a huge house and your washing machine is far from everything else (i.e., basement or garage or distant utility room), then you don't need this.  Of course, this is European sized, meaning small by American standards.  If you're willing to break up your laundry into multiple loads or do laundry more frequently, then you'll be fine.  This machine is amazing.  I hardly notice that it's running at all.  Even when it's spinning, it's surprisingly quiet and causes much less vibration than other machines.  It spins so quickly that nearly all of the water is wrung from the clothes by the time it's done.  After your last load for the day, be sure to sop up the water that remains in the rubber door-sealing lip, and leave the door open for 12 hours to dry out.  It's also a good idea to remove the detergent tray after use and place it on top of the machine until next use or until it's dried out anyway.  I've never used a washer I liked more than this one.
