We bought this as a washer/dryer pair because our washer finally gave up the ghost after 21 years of non-stop service.  Knowing the GE Brand from other smaller purchases in the past, I had no problem deciding to buy this washer/dryer pair. The clothes are dried in a fraction of the time we are used to with our old set. The wi-fi functions, while not necessary have made doing laundry a little more bearable.  Getting notified that the clothes are almost finished, and given the option to continue the cycle with no heat to prevent wrinkles, has been a bonus.  We haven't had a need to utilize al of the functions/features of this dryer, but we have only owned it for a month...
