Very Functional

Cons:	Can't change door swing, Heavy
Pros:	Energy efficient, Easy to use, Compact, Adjustable Settings

Overall, a very good washer/dryer combo. It uses a lot less water than our 18 year-old top load did. The drying times are shorter because of this. We have a laundry "closet." It would be more convenient if the doors swung to the right instead of the left. The swing can't be changed. Also, the place we have it installed, I can't reach the water shut-offs which are behind the unit. I will have to do a little plumbing to fix this. Also, make sure if you have existing wiring for a dryer that both plumbing and wiring will reach. This unit uses the dryer circuit. I did have to move my outlet so I wouldn't have a long power cable across the floor.

this is wonderful

Cons:	Lint all around the dryer

This washer/dryer combination has a problem with the lint system-everytime i dry a load of clothes,i have to wipe off the dryer door and all around the dryer vent-it gets lint all over, when it should be collecting in the lint vent only

So far so good...

We have had ours installed for a week now and so far we really like it. The installation wasn't too bad, but it would have been even better if it was readily mentioned that there was no plug included. Be sure to read the Installation Instructions in detail beforehand. The buzzer is LOUD; you won't miss it. Regular operation is not too noisy.

Very Happy ! Great service thanks Dan M.

We were limited with space so we went with this stackable.We are very happy with this up to now. Yes the buzzer is not only loud but aggravating. Good thing is it only took 15 minutes to disconnect this to prevent being woken from a dead sleep when this would go off. Happy with product and sleeping soundly! Leave an email if you need assistance in disconnecting buzzer..

I love it!

Great

the washer is smaller than the dryer - bittersweet in a way because the dryer is huge and the clothes dry SUPER fast! I also compared it to all of the other units and it is the SHORTEST so if you have vertical space constraint this is the unit for you! the buzzer is so loud and there is no way to turn it off...

washer/dryer combo

Pros:	Easy to use, Energy efficient, Adjustable Settings, Compact, Quiet

Still trying to get used to the fact that it uses so little water, but clothes come clean and that iw what matters. Love the buzzer on the washer. Can't forget a load anymore.

Awesome washer dryer unit!

By plymouth rock from Northeast USA on 09/1/2009.

Best Uses:	Bedding, Delicates, Everyday Clothes
Pros:	Energy efficient, Easy to use, Quiet, Adjustable Settings, Compact, Large Capacity
Describe Yourself:	Frequent User
Cons:	Loud buzzer

This is a GREAT unit and we are very pleased with its operation. It is gentle on clothes and as a result doesn't remove stains as well as our old name brand top loader, but as a trade off the clothes last longer, and tough stains can be easily pretreated. Efficient and quiet (except for the buzzer) and has a GREAT dryer, and the washer and dryer capacities are fabulous for the unit's size. Thumbs up -- highly recommended!!

Love it!!!

I just bought the unit in March, and I love it!! The stackable I had before didn't dry my clothes well at all which led me to hang them instead of throwing them in the dryer, I thought this was the way all the electric stackables worked, BUT I purchased this one and I love it!! Just like the other reviewers the buzzer will scare the bajesus out of you, because it is loud, and it buzzes when the clothes are done washing not just drying, I wasn't used to that. But it washes clothes and spin dries very well, and the dryer is full capacity I love it!! The guys who installed it were very nice also made sure it was set up correctly and everything!! Now I don't mind washing, I just make sure I am close by when it's almost done so I don't have to listen to the loud buzzer!! I stay in a condo so this is perfect!!

I like it!

The front load design of the washer of this laundry center is a nice change from my previous 11 year old Frigidaire top load washer/laundry center. It holds more clothes, is more water efficient and easier on the clothes. It is quiet, except when it spins it sometimes rumbles a bit for a moment, but this is common with front load washers. The spin is super fast and extracts water from the clothes very effectively. The dryer also has a very large capacity although the laundry center is only 27 inches wide. The dryer is relatively quiet and dries very effectively. The noisiest part of the laundry center is the very noticeable buzz at the end of the washer and dryer cycles, but it does not really bother me since it is rather short in length and it does notify me of its completion.

Great washer and dryer

By Dave in Uptown from Chicago, IL on 12/31/2008.

Describe Yourself:	Frequent User
Pros:	Quiet, Large Capacity, Adjustable Settings, Compact, Energy efficient, Easy to use

I've used this for just over a year running 4 loads a week and it is a great washer and dryer. Works great with all my clothes. I have it located right off the bedroom and I was surprised at how quiet it is, sometimes I have to double check to see if it is running. The buzzer is loud and I can't figure out how to turn it off but I really have no complaints with it.

Stackable Washer/Dryer

By Music from Chicago on 12/17/2008.

Best Uses:	Athletic Clothes, Everyday Clothes, Delicates, Bedding
Describe Yourself:	Frequent User
Pros:	Large Capacity, Energy efficient, Compact, Easy to use

I love this washer and dryer - although I agree the "buzzer" (aka - the alarm) is very loud. Personally I like the loud alarm as I am typically doing other chores while doing laundry so this loud alarm reminds me of laundry. But this unit is like a full size washer/dryer - I love it! Stuff it full and it cleans and dries very good. This is a safe purcahse for Apt/Condo or even single family home owners.[...]

Great except for the buzzer

By George from Chicago on 08/5/2008.

Best Uses:	Bedding, Everyday Clothes
Pros:	Energy efficient, Gets Tough Stains, Easy to use, Adjustable Settings, Large Capacity
Describe Yourself:	Frequent User
Cons:	Loud Operation

I think this washer and dryer is great, outside of the terrible buzzer. [...]Other than the buzzer issue, this unit is great. I had a GE space saver before this, and this unit cleans the clothes much better. It actually seems to remove many stains and what not.The capacity of the washer is large, and the dryer is HUGE.If you are in the market for a new stack washer and dryer, I would recommend this one only if you do not have to have it in your main living area, as the buzzer is insanely loud. If you can wait, I would wait until the newer models come out, because I would imagine a volume adjustment or on off switch will be added.

Great!

Great quality; very quiet

By Laura T from Chicago, IL on 12/23/2007.

Best Uses:	Athletic Clothes, Day-day Clothes, Delicates, Bedding
Cons:	Buzzer too loud
Pros:	Large Capacity, Adjustable Settings, Quiet
Describe Yourself:	Practical

Dryer drum is extra large. Washer is super quiet. Only drawback is the end-of-cycle buzzer, whose volume cannot be adjusted.

Fabulous product from size to power

By Chicago Smart Family from Chicago, IL on 08/23/2007.

Pros:	Dry time is very minimal, Takes very little soap, Energy Efficient, Spin cycle is excellent, Clean Clothes Well, Adjustable Settings, Large Capacity, Quiet
Best Uses:	Everyday Clothes, Delicates, Towels, GREAT for small spaces, Athletic Clothes
Describe Yourself:	Practical, Price shopper on line
Cons:	Very loud buzzer

Great size for stackable. I would recommend it to anyone that is confined with space. The washer spin cycle almost drys the clothes which makes the cost of dry time very managble. I've not experienced any smells or mildew and have left the clothes in the washer for 1+ days.

What an incredible little machine

By The Hawke from Lisle, Illinois on 03/12/2007.

Cons:	At end of wash or dry, Buzzer is not neccessary
Best Uses:	Bedding, Delicates, Everyday Clothes, Athletic Clothes
Pros:	Clean Clothes Well, Adjustable Settings, Large Capacity, Energy Efficient, Quiet

I had an older Frigidare stackable washer/dryer and it was si in efficient. It worked half of the time and the energy it used was unbelievable. My electric bill since purchasing this machine has dropped significantly.
