The things I love about the washer/dryer. 1 it saves space all in one unit. 2. Automatic dispensers and easy-to-use controls.  3. No external dryer vent needed. 4. Set the controls and you can go about your day when you return the complete wash dry cycle is completed. 5. It seems easier on your clothes no extreme heat like a traditional dryer. 6. It is very efficient uses a small amount of energy. Draw backs 1. It takes longer to do your laundry you don't have separate machines running at same for multiple loads. 2. If you like extra hot dry temperatures this is not for you. 3. It doesn't  remove lint like a traditional dryer I wouldn't recommend with pets that shed alot of hair.
