We bought this combo seeking faster wash and dryer times, remote monitoring and efficiency in water and electric use in drought plagued California. Since March 2022 we have run this combo with delight. The wash cycle is short and the clothes never have issues. They dry cycle is so short and complete that we wonder how we ever endured the unbearably long drying cycles from our old machine. The noise factor is like day and night. It is just a low hum and none of the "vibrations" of old. The energy saving are substantial and doing laundry is no longer a "chore".
