I was very skeptical before buying this combo machine. But after knowing it was new technology, I am happy to have it. It's a ventless design, which i love. Fit in my tight laundry space. It didn't need 240v, so i didn't spend money on an electrician. It's been working really well. You don't need to move wet stuff to a dryer. You can just wait until it dries. Perm and press function not so good. I personally take them out before drying completely and hang dry like shirts and pants.
