I have to say that I am very impressed with the many options for washing and drying my clothes now. Are use half the amount of detergent and fabric softener that I was using before. My clothes are clean and fresh. I love the steam option and the wrinkle option on the dryer. Both the washer and the dryer are very quiet while in use, but they definitely let you know when your cycles are done. They have a nice tone that lets you know once it’s complete. Having 3 dogs, 3 kids, and a grand baby it’s important that my clothes, comforters, and rugs stay sanitized and clean. This duo gives me both. I definitely recommend to any and everyone. You will not be disappointed.
