Product review (5 stars): What a great duo!
We are very pleased with the Maxima XL duo. I have been looking for front loading washer and dryer combo, read lots of reviews and researched on Consumerreports.org  These came very highly recommended, and after using it for 2 weeks now, I can certainly see why.
But before I get to the actual performance, I'd like to mention a few things that we found a bit frustrating. Set up process took us almost all day, for a couple of reasons - both Washer and Dryer are missing a few key items necessary for setup (those are simply not part of the shipment). I gathered from reviews that we would need to order separately the power cord for the dryer as well as the connection for the dryer vent. However, it would have been helpful if the product description would have stated that a 4 point cord needed instead of a 3 point (those are very different). Also, the split attachment for the water (steam dryer requires a cold water line in) was not right, it had 3 male ends (female in with 2 male outs is needed). Of course we also didn't count of the steamer needing it's own water line connection (a total of 3 lines needed for the duo). With all that said, I am going to write to the seller and strongly advise them to post the list of parts needed, in order to help their clients avoid spending all day running to the hardware store and trying to match up the parts needed. Here's the list:
1 - Dryer connector vent, with 2 fastening clips
1 - 4 point connecting power cord for the dryer (this specific model only)
1 - female in 2 male out water connection splitter (we found that the garden hose splitter worked best, as it has shut off valves on each line)
3 - water line hoses

Now on to the greatness of the machines - both are very attractive to look at, very easy to operate. Numerous settings for both the wash and the drying allow user to make little adjustments (water temperature, soil time, spin intensity). The dryer has built in sensors to detect when the load is of desired dryness and will shut off the machine to save on energy. Audible alerts sound when the load is done. Another feature I enjoy is the light inside of the washer (I'm a novice to this, I've had dryers with light in, not washers) I find it very helpful. Both machines are very quiet when running.

One more thing I'd like to point out - for as many laundry room set ups as I have seen, I always notice washer on the right, and dryer on the left - with this set up this duo needs to have a door reversal kit ordered (we're placing the order today) as right now the doors open up and meet in the middle making transfer of the clothing very uncomfortable.
Having said all that, please note that my feedback for the duo is great, my complaints are non performance related. I am a believer in working smarter not harder, and this washer and dryer could use a bit of improvement and earning an even higher customer satisfaction!!!
