This is, by far, the worst washer and dryer I have ever used, and I have lived in multiple apartments over the years. Not only is this washer LOUD and hard to use because of the way they are stacked, but the lint catcher is at the front of the dryer and is not enclosed. So when you open the door and take clothes out the lint STICKS TO THE CLOTHES AND FALLS INTO THE WASHER. If you have wet clothes in the washer, you can see why this is a huge issue. LINT EVERYWHERE. The lint trap is also very small and overflows with the smallest loads. So when you open the dryer, POOF, a face full of lint. The washer makes a LOUD mechanical stirring sound when on and beeps INCESSANTLY to let you know its done. Getting things in and out is also very hard, as the dryer portion juts out and doesn't allow you to get into the washer, which is really deep.
