Product review (4 stars): Beautiful modern appliances
Great washer and dryer. Love the pedestals. The pleasant chimes are a nice change from the horrible buzzer that used to terrify my dog. If you order from Closeout Liquidators, be sure to add a phone number to your Amazon delivery address record, not just your Amazon account.

Installation was not as simple as it could have been. The electric dryer does not come with a power cord. You'll have to have an electrician wire it in directly to a 220v line or buy a power cord from a hardware store. It comes with a plastic Y to pull cold water from the washer line for the steam function, so be sure there is room and buy two washer hoses (short one from the hookup to the Y; long one from the Y to the dryer; I bought a brass Y that screwed directly to the hookup and has its own shutoffs). The washer is deeper than the dryer by about 2 inches (the dryer's top is extended to make them equal.) The washer's cord is wrapped inside the unit, and you have to remove 4 very stiff transport bolts to get it out (ratchet wrench worked better than vise grips or power drill). The washer's feet were dificult to remove (use a thin, flat, 15 mm wrench) so it could be screwed to the pedestal. The dryer side vent kit (available from Maytag/Whirlpool) turned out to be unnecessary for me, but you have to remove the back and top to disconnect the standard vent. (Pull the top back, then up, or you'll break the clips.) The instructions say to remove the drum, but that's not strictly necessary.
