I have had this machine since 04/22/24. It has been the absolute best washing experience ever!! Our machines are in the basement of an old house. During changes in temperature or rain, it can get a bit musty. This always would impact our wash and dry cycles as moisture creates bacteria, which creates stinky.. So far we've experienced weather in the high 80s, freezing Temps in the 30s, rain storms, etc and the clothing has been consistently fresh and clean. The fact that you don't have to transfer the load makes all the difference in the world. No sitting in between equals no risk of bacteria and smell. it also helps me out of not being stressed or on a timer to always beat the clock and put items to dry. It's been a breeze!!! avoiding extra back and forth up and down the stairs and also nor having to refill the detergents each time are also easing my physical issues tied to my autoimmune disease.
