Product review (1 stars): A disappointing heap of metal
This combo machine is an absolute last resort for anyone who does not have a way to vent a side by side or top/bottom combo machine.

PROS:
Looks good and will squeeze into most apartment or condo closets.
Has large timer display that counts down time left on cycle.
Uh - hmmm, that's about it for pros.

CONS:
Clothes will be damp at best for most loads. If you remove the clothes immediately while piping hot, the steam will dissipate and sheets or similar weighted items will dry if spread out. (I use a fan directed at the damp items to help finish off the drying process.) It is almost impossible to dry sweaters, towels and jeans. So, if you live in a climate where heavier clothes are the norm, you may want to take this into consideration.

Users will do better if they understand that you cannot employ the regular load washer/dryer mentality when using this machine. Mix the weight and size of the items - one sheet, two pillow cases, two bath towels and face cloths mixed in with a few gym socks or underwear.

It takes forever and a day to wash/dry one load. I've found that setting the cycle to wash and then opening the door even for a few minutes, THEN going back and starting the dry cycle cuts down the dry time considerably. Of course, this defeats the purpose of setting and forgetting a load to wash/dry un-tendered; but if you are a busy granny-nanny like me, it cuts down on hours of dry time. Plus, it's only an extra step and you still don't have to haul the load from the washer to the dryer in the process.

If you don't crack the door and let the moisture dissipate between loads, you may get this awful stench that is best remedied with a quick Chlorox rinse.

Lint accumulates around the rubber door seal and may re-deposit on the next load if not wiped down.

Our machine is less than two years old and has broken down completely once and at times will just shut down due to an uneven load, even with two equally weighted sheets. We will also get an arbitrary error message that can only be remedied by unplugging the machine or resetting the circuit.

Call me old fashioned, but I just can't be convinced that a few cups of water are able to get my grandson's cloth diapers cleaner than a couple of gallons in an energy efficient front loader or top loading machine.
