Product review (4 stars): First-floor laundry....yea!!
I got tired of going to my dungeon of a basement to do laundry. My first-floor bathroom had a tub, vintage 1960-ish, that we never used. I had the tub taken out, and in its place put the stackable W/D and had a small open area built with 2 shelves and a rod for hanging clothes next to it. The 27" unit is about as big as my regular W/D - no problem getting a good-size load of laundry in there! The washer has a different sound from most full-size ones, and at first I thought something was wrong. The book explained that it is normal because of the kind of agitator used. My only complaint is that there are SO many settings on the control dials that you'd think NASA made it. Guess I just have to get used to it as I use it more and more. One more thing: many of the small stackables have all the controls on TOP. I wanted them in the middle so my 10-year-old granddaughter can help with laundry sometimes, and she could not reach the high ones. Otherwise, I might have ordered the Whirlpool.
