The bin sounds ok but make sure the interior dimensions are adequate and that you can sort ventilation out whilst allowing for deep bedding (6+ inches).

Don’t know what your laundry room is like but if it is vibrating from machines a lot and hot in there then it isn’t going to be ideal either unfortunately.
I found that "All hamster forums demand that cage space, which is measured by the area of the floor space, be continuous. (...) However, there is no evidence, other than maybe anecdotal, to support this rule." https://pethelpful.com/rodents/The-B...ster-Cage-Size

Nevertheless, the Ferplast has almost that "minimum recommended size" of continuous floor space. So that plus the bonus chambers should be perfect. Right?
