I am thinking that some of you ladies in cramped quarters have researched this, or it just came with your apartment.

I would like to create a more convenient laundry room but the space I have is very limited - mostly in the depth, from front to back. Yet, I want to be able to wash my large (full size) comforters.

My local appliance fellow says I can get a washer/dryer with a small footprint, but I'd like to hear from some ladies, what machine you have, how much space from the front to the back wall (I understand some require room for the pipes etc but some don't), and what's the maximum you can wash in it (especially comforters.)

Thanks!

My Whirpool is quite large. My suggestion to you is get machines that are stack able to save the space.

Call an appliance store and ask them.

never heard of a footprint before ... I guess it means the outside metal takes up less space than normal - while still giving large drum capacity for washing large loads

but this washer claims it can wash 18 towels in one load & is also stackable with the matching dryer ... I'm sure 18 towels is equivalent to at least one comforter - if not 2 ...
