I bought this a couple months ago to replace an old front-loading machine and dryer.  I like the top loading machines better, but since we don't have space for a side-by-side arrangement of washer/dryer, we purchased this unit.  We love it.  It has excellent capacity, and the controls are easy to use.  And it really does get our clothes much cleaner than the front loader did. We also like the layout in that it is easy to get the clothes from the washer to the dryer without dropping any on the floor.
