This washer and dryer passes the ultimate test. We have four indoor coonhounds. Their work is hunting, but for relaxation they love to dig for hours in the backyard. Rain or shine. This washer & dryer tower has given us the cleanest, freshest dog towels, dog blankets, and dog bed covers ever. The bedding setting works well for items with a waterproof layer like a dog bed cover or mattress cover (it adjusts the spin cycle to allow the drain holes in the drum to drain instead of covering them up with the waterproof layer). The sanitary and steam settings are great for for when extra deep cleaning is desired. The dryer is fast. One dryer feature I like a lot is Steam Refresh - it's perfect for preparing dress shirts for ironing and takes less than three minutes. Note this tower requires both a 220V 30A 4-wire plug for the dryer, AND a 110V ??A socket for the washer.
