Product review (5 stars): Great space-saving alternative
Made for small apartments, and for those who don't want to go to the expense of adding external venting.  Works extremely well so long as it's installed properly.  I paid a professional plumber a small fortune to install this unit and have had no problems mentioned by other reviewers - excessive vibration, flooding, clothes wrinkling, not drying, etc.  Yes, the combined wash/dry cycle takes approx. 3 1/2 hours for a large load; a normal load takes about 2 hours.  But once you set it, you can forget it, without having to load a separate dryer.  Yes, the lint filter is not conveniently located, but you only really need to empty it a couple times a year.  And yes, the first 10 or so loads come out with a rubber smell, as the seals wear in, but the smell goes away entirely.  Two years in, this is a marvelous unit for those with cramped space and no desire to add venting.
