Debating between this tower or a stackable washer/dryer and am glad to have bought this since the controls are easily reachable.  Looks good and sleek with a nice soft tone to alert you when clothes are done which is a nice change from the really loud buzz from my old machine.  Some things to note are the dryer settings for efficient energy is only the normal dry option at high heat. This option did not completely dry all items. I wanted lower heat to dry clothes and had to use the bedding option for medium heat. Otherwise, everything works pretty well!
