My wife and I saw this washer dryer combination and decided to upgrade from our previous devices, and we have no regrets. Even though it may take a bit longer to go through an entire washing and drying cycle, it is worth not having to switch the laundry over anymore. Plus, have the built in storage for the Detergent and fabric softener is amazing! It also takes up less space so we have more space in the laundry area. I definitely recommend getting this device if you plan to upgrade.
