Appliance shopping can be an undoubting ordeal since the last time we bought a new washer/dryer was over 15 years ago.  That said, the functionality, various options, cavernous interior, quiet drying cycles and beautiful color of the Electrolux Perfect Steam LuxCare stackable dryer and washer have far exceeded our expectations. Our laundry room configuration required a stacking unit, but more importantly we required BOTH dryer and front loading washer to open from the left and hinged on the right.  Electrolux is the only manufacturer that has the ability to reverse the door on the washing machine.  BRAVO for having this as an option which puts these appliances on a higher level.
