Living in a 5th wheel makes this machine a delight (minus the spin cycles that shake my whole house - would be 5 stars otherwise)!

Prior reviewers had complaints about the smell, both inside and out. It is suggested that all new users run a CLEAN cycle initially - my first review included a pic of that very action. However, I suggest keeping a Glade plug-in near the machine until the machine itself airs out AND using either fabric softener and/or scent beads to assist with the residual smell on clothing itself. It takes about a week, but trust me, it WILL improve!

While my first review showed my dog's bed, he only slept there at night when the machine wasn't running. Clearly he's gotten used to it, and I'm happy to report my machine is now DOG APPROVED, too!
