"I researched the heck out of this appliance and the drying technology before I purchased it so I knew what I was getting. This machine is dream come true for a condo owner or apartment renter with no washer hook-ups or dryer venting. So that others can benefit from my research I thought I would put together a pro and con list.

Pros:

Washer and dryer in my condo!

Lots of programming functions

Ability to schedule ahead washing and drying (see explanation below)

A night-time mode

Delicately washes and dries your clothes

Perfect for a single person or couple

Con:

Time it takes to dry (see explanation below)

Small load capacity

Time it takes to dry

On other review sites people mention the time it takes to dry. When you are buying this type of washer/dryer it is a function of the technology not the brand. There are many brands out there that offer ventless drying, LG, Bosch, Haier, etc. They all take lots of time to dry. Obviously I wouldn’t be purchasing this type of appliance if I had a way to vent my dryer. But, these types of dryers are my only option. If you like to hang dry a lot of your clothes, like I do, it works. Also, I do have access, down the hall, to a regular washer and dryer for large loads and towels but it is nice having something in my unit for my everyday clothes.

For perma press clothing it takes about an hour to dry and the standard wash is an hour. For cottons it takes about two hours to dry and 1 hour to wash. You can also do a quick wash 30 minutes and you can do a quick dry.

Scheduled washing and drying

A great function of this machine is the ability to schedule a time to wash and dry. For example you can start the machine before you go to bed and your clothes will be dry when you wake up. Or, set it to wash and dry while you are at work. This function compensates for the long time that it takes to dry.

Manufacturer

Try not to go through the manufacturer for problems. Go to your online retailer first. Do your research on not only this unit but the manufacturer and how they deal with warrantly repairs."

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
