I decided to give the 2 in 1 solution a shot and I was definitely hesitant to say the least. As a teacher and new mama to a 9 month old, I look for anything that can make my life easier and this was a game changer! It took me a while to get a hang of the wash options but I was shocked when I threw a load in, set it to the wash and dry option, and came home to clean and dry clothes. I can’t count how many times clothes sat in my old washer far too long and then had to run another cycle because I forgot about it. The fact you can fill the detergent and softener compartment is genius since I don’t think anyone really knows how much is the correct amount. Now if only it could find a way to fold the clothes! Definitely recommend this to anyone considering getting the 2 in 1!
