I have to have a washer/dryer combo because of limited space. The combo  washes and dries well, but the main reason I purchased this one is because it had a beeper when clothes finished washing and then when they were dry. THE BAD THING IS IF YOU ARE IN ANOTHER ROOM (WHICH I USUALLY AM) YOU WILL NOT HEAR THE BEEPER. IT IS A QUIET BEEPER! I am not happy that there is not a spin cycle without "rinse". I  sometimes hand wash something & just want to spin it dry. I also would have liked an automatic water level  sensor based on load.
