I live in a small condo so space for laundry is a premium. I replaced my old Frigidaire combo with this new one. It's washer tub is a bit bigger, which is nice, but I can't spin it by hand when done to get to clothes at back of tub so it's a reach. The dryer seems the same except for the connection to the gas, it's setup for use with a smaller propane sized gas connection so had to buy an adapter for the larger natural gas line.
Overall the only other differences are the controls. They've been expanded from 3 or 4 settings to 8 and have been updated with digital lights for status indicators but at least the buzzer is a simple beeping not the old loud one BUZZzzzzzz! Apparently, you have to read the maintenance book (taped inside the middle panel) that describes what error codes mean by what flashes red or green and how many times.. lol Glad I'm not the repairman trying to understand that!
