If you don't have enough space for a 27-inch laundry center, the GE Spacemaker WSM2420DWW is a more compact model that's only 24 inches wide. It's a basic model with a top-loading washer, which has both pros and cons. Reviewers say the basic design is reliable, and if it does break down, it's easier to repair than machines with more features. Owners say the machine is quiet and does a good job washing clothes, but its auto-dry feature (which uses a thermostat rather than a moisture sensor) isn't very accurate, and the laundry center has very limited capacity, with a 1.5-cubic-foot washer and a 4.3-cubic-foot dryer. If you have a little more space, the 27-inch Kenmore 9781 (*Est. $1,100) also gets good reviews.
Compared to the 27-inch laundry centers, 24-inch units aren't very popular, and reviews are few and far between. The best source for user reviews for the GE Spacemaker WSM2420DWW is HomeDepot.com, which includes ratings from about 20 owners. ConsumerGuide.com chooses this laundry center as a budget buy, although its review is not based on personal testing.
