Product review (5 stars): ~*~*~Does NOT STINK! Cleans well, holds a TON of Clothes, we use regular detergent~*~*~
First I just want to say that we've had our washer & dryer(LG DLE2516W) for over a year and have never had 1 single problem.

Once my husband and I knew we were having twins we decided it would be best to get a new washer/dryer since the one we had did not hold many clothes to wash & drying normally took at least 2 hours! It was one of the connected over/unders, our "laundry room" is tiny and side by side would not fit.

The search began for an affordable but good quality washer/dryer. After reading many reviews about tons of different washer/dryers I found this one had the best reviews for the affordable price range we were looking at. Do an online search and you will find more positive reviews.

We bought ours locally on sale and the delivery men set it up in no time. They did NOT take the time to make sure it was level so it did make a lot of noise & shake at first(we have ours stacked) but my husband was able to easily level it and no more shaking or noise.

Since I had read that this washer(as well as many other front loaders) begin to stink after a while we decided to always leave the door open when we are not using it. This does NOT create any sort of problem or get in the way at all. We have NEVER had any stinky washer or clothes!! Even the times when I have forgotten to take the clothes out and they get stinky, one normal wash and everything is smelling clean again.

This says you have to use special detergent and I can tell you that we have NEVER used special detergent and have NEVER had any problems, no stink, no over suds, nothing. We've used a bunch of different brands as well, Era, All, Dreft, etc.

As you can imagine with twins sometimes we have a TON of laundry. I can have a big basket overflowing with clothes and all of it fits and then some. It doesn't look like the washer would be that big but it fits a ton of clothes. Takes what normally would be several loads of laundry and combines them into 1. I use Dreft(or generic Dreft) and fabric softener and the clothes come out smelling SO good always. Even if my girls have gotten their clothes exceptionally messy with food, even if I forget to put on the 'stain' cycle or forget to spray on stain remover, all of their clothes normally come out completely clean-no stains. Not always because some things tend to stain no matter what if you don't immediatly wash them but even if there is a stain, their clothes are still always clean.

We LOVE it. It does a great job!! And as someone who does a TON of laundry & used to work at a Laundry Mat, I am a good judge of washers!
