I love the fact that the washer tells the dryer a compatible dry cycle. No over drying clothes means lower electric bill. Win win! The steam dry makes the clothes softer. It is very quite and the chime at the end of the cycle isn't annoying. With it stacked on the washer it saves a ton of room but at 5'1" I need a step stool if I want to choose settings manually. Overall I'm very satisfied.
