We purchased this washer/dryer combo for our small cabin in the mountains. So far, it has been a great little machine. While we have only had it since Sept., and used it just a handful of times. It washes and Dry's very well, as long as you understand how it works. For a  one to two person family I would highly recommend an all-in-one machine. I really like this machine because it operates on a 120v outlet and doesn't need special dryer ducting. The only complaint I have so far is the drain hose. I was hoping to direct it straight down to a floor drain to drain. However, it requires the drain line to be elevated at least 24" above the bottom of the machine to a drain for operation. For most people this would not be a problem. For me, I had to do some plumbing to get a drain pipe installed for the machine to operate correctly.
