I am from England and had a machine like this over 30 years ago. When we came here I was surprised and irritated to find they were not available yet. So we were back to the twin models and somebody needed to move the washing from the washer to the dryer and that happened sometimes on the same day it was washed but not always. So I'm delighted to have found this we're about to put the clothes in in the morning turn it on and come home from work and they're all dry thank you so much.
