I bought this unit for my tenant after an identical (10-year-old) unit finally died. I needed to fit the washer/dryer into a closet with a 24-inch wide door opening, and this was one of the very few (only?) unit I could find that would fit...with about an eighth of an inch on either side. My tenant hasn't had any complaints so far. Seems to do a great job of washing and drying--my unit has a gas dryer, so I can't speak to the electric version. Hopefully this machine will last a bit longer than the first one--although I guess 10 years isn't so bad.
