Product review (2 stars): It is a bad design.
My problem with this set is not so much function, but form and fit. They are HUGE, and have negatively impacted the utility of our small laundry room. The curved tops make them worthless as a work surface. They scratch easily (and I'm not even putting anything on top, due to the curving). You have to bend over the washer control panel to retrieve the laundry, so if you have to open it mid cycle, to adjust the load (which happens frequently), you will probably zero out the setting and need to start the load over. You will have to soak your clothes (a hint I found online) AND hit the water + function every single time to maybe have enough water for the clothes to move freely and have a chance in hell of getting clean. If you throw a folded handkerchief in this washer, it will still be folded when it comes out - all that does is rehydrate the boogers. The dryer at least does its job without special care and handling, but I can't recommend it because of its curved top, excessive size and excessive price.
