Product review (4 stars): Great machine 5 years in- but do your homework before you buy!
This unit has been the perfect solution for our situation: an urban couple in a tiny apartment (who absolutely HATE the laundry-mat!!), with no basement access to setup a traditional washer /dryer pair.

Important note: if you like to dry all your clothes in the machine (i.e. not hang most of them up to air dry like us) you will NOT be happy with this condenser dryer. You can only dry a few items at a time, and it will take about an hour and a half. As well, the rubber gasket that seals the door will impart a slight odour to the dried items until it has been used a while. We don't use fabric softener or strong smelling detergent so your results may vary.

The last drawback is that it is pricey. However, we have owned it for 5 years, probably running it 5 days out of seven, and it has been rock solid, with only 1 self-repair needed. After 4 years of light use of the dryer function,the clothes started coming out damp. Googling the problem, I was able to easily take it apart and clean the accumulated lint out of the condenser tube with a long bottle washer (like a thick pipe cleaner). Voila- back to normal, and still perfect a year later.

Replacement parts seem to be reasonably priced from third party vendors to boot. If you're handy, you should be able to keep it running for a good long time.
