I like the larger capacity of both the washer and the dryer. the main drawbacks: it doesn't wring a heavy item at all- like a cotton bath rug. I took it out dripping wet, very heavy and hung it to dry for over two days before I could put it in the dryer to finish. Also, it makes clicking noises that are annoying - I have to have a door installed to cover the tight space to keep the noise down.
