Roughly, yes; definitely <100. We just moved in and bought the thing and
have done laundry non-stop. 4 kids in private schools wearing uniforms, u
name it. That Neptune is so quiet you hardly know it's there... And the
clothes come out very light and almost fully dried. I wouldn't have believed

the washer was a real effort.
