At 6'L x 26"W x 51.5"H (similar to compact laundry spaces), the GE GTD33EASKWW fits seamlessly into apartments or tight utility rooms. Its painted steel drum is tough against scratches from zippers or buttons, holding up to 18 lbs of wet laundry—perfect for a family of four's weekly wash.
Key design wins:
However, the painted drum attracts lint more than stainless alternatives, requiring weekly venting checks. Build feels solid at 115 lbs, with vibration-dampening feet for second-floor installs.
