I exchanged a Danby DTT420 washing machine for this one (see my other review). For a few dollars more this is far superior. I have only used it a few times but it has all the basic features you would expect on a larger machine. Additionally, it has a quick connect that lets you hook it up to a sink if you don't have normal washer hookups (a big plus since I don't). It seems to do a great job on clothes. The capacity can best be described as moderate but OK considering the size. One thing I didn't like is that the drain outlet has to be elevated at least 26" to work properly, but this is minor. Also, the controls appear to be a bit fragile, and I doubt I'll be sending this off with the kids to college. However, considering that the only other comparable washer (the Kenmore 2 cubic foot) is nearly $200 more I think it is a good deal. Of course, for the same money you can buy a full size washer, but if you don't have the hookups or the space this one is just the thing.
