Product review (4 stars): Great if you know how to use it
This is not your typical American washer or dryer.
You can definitely get your clothes clean enough in 30 minutes, but drying will take a bit of time.
The drying should take you about two hours. For me, as I only wash for myself and my husband, that's fine. If you've got the space for a separate washer and dryer, then that is what you should get. IF NOT...here are some tips to get the most out of your Haier combo...
1) Do the quick wash, 30 minutes...longer washes don't do much else.
2) Run an extra 9 minute spin cycle, that'll help dry your clothes out even more before the actual drying cycle.
3) Dry for the full 2 hours.
4) Take out as soon as it's done, as the humidity inside the unit will only make your clothes wet again if you leave them in there for hours.
5) If something feels damp, flail it around like a crazy person, odds are it's heat/humidity that's making it feel wet. If that doesn't go away, hang it up/lay it out for 10-15 minutes, it'll be dry.

Don't hate this unit because it isn't what you're used to. You're getting a combo unit because you need one, not because it's the cheapest option......because it isn't.
Learn to use it.
If you use this unit properly, you won't hate it as much as the other reviewers do.
