Product review (5 stars): Great unit with convenient features for small apartments or condos
We live in a small condo built in the 1960s with old plumbing and very expensive coin laundry. To fight the good fight against the man, we installed this Washer/Dryer unit in our bathroom and could not be happier with the unit!

When I was researching this unit, here are the things that I was wondering about that I hope will save you some time:

- The washer/dryer plugs into a standard 3 prong U.S. outlet. The same outlet that charges your iPhone will power your washer/dryer.

- It doesn't need to vent to the outside! Every other week, you drain out water and anything else that your washer/dryer has collected to keep the loads fresh and not stinky. It takes about 3 minutes.

- You can put in a load of laundry, have it wash, then dry on its own without having to push buttons or move anything between cycles. It works with 80% of cycles with few exceptions (bedding mode being one of them).

- Washing is normal speed, drying takes forever. While washing might take an hour, it could take 4-5 hours for the load to dry. It's not uncommon to have a wash/dry load take 5.5 - 6 hours. For me, I don't really care because I put in laundry before I go to work or before I go to sleep and open the unit up to find a done load. You can easily do one load a day and not worry about moving it.

- As noted above, drying takes forever. If you care about speed, look elsewhere. If you care about convenience and don't want to move loads while you're out and/or sleeping, this is perfect.

- It washes clothes really well. It cleans as well as high end front loading LG washers that I had at my previous place.

- Uses high efficiency detergent and is also extremely energy efficient.

- It is not loud at all. It sounds very similar to a dishwasher.

- While I can't make any guarantees for your set up, we have a 1.5" drain pipe instead of the standard 2" because of our old building. Our washer/dryer has absolutely no problems draining in the smaller pipe because of how efficiently the unit uses and drains water - not even close to overflowing the drain. Our contractors did some creative piping, but probably didn't have to because the unit doesn't ever do a waterfall-like drain where it empties the whole tub in a spin cycle. The water always comes out at a reasonable pace.

- Get vibration foot pads for the unit. It will keep things running even quieter and make sure that your washer/dryer doesn't dance while you're at work. If you live in a condo or apartment and live above someone, definitely invest in the vibration pads.

If you live in a small apartment or condo, this is a fantastic unit that holds a lot and does a lot. If you really need your laundry done fast, this isn't the unit for you. If you sleep and/or work and don't foresee doing more than one load of laundry per day, the convenience of being able to do a complete load of laundry without switching anything couldn't be better. We love this unit!

Tips:
- To avoid wrinkles and not fully dried loads, only fill the tub 1/2 to 2/3 full with laundry. You'll be tempted to fill it to the top, but don't do that.
- Use liquid fabric softener or little scent boosters. Since you don't have the opportunity to put in a dryer sheet, this will keep your clothes smelling fresh through the dry cycle.
- Clean your unit as directed!
