I replaced my 22 year old washer/dryer combo with this.  I was wary, because I've heard the older unit were bullet proof and the new units are kind of disposable.  I had this installed about 2 months ago and it's been great!  So amazingly quiet!  It cleans way better and uses considerably less detergent and energy than my old one!  Not to mention the incredibly annoying buzz has been replaced by a calming song..
