Pros and Cons:
Positives:
  • Fresh feeling clothes.
  • Useful features, like steam wash technology.
  • Different spin speeds and temperature levels to choose from.
  • Low noise.
  • Saves space, saves time and saves money.
Negatives:
  • The machine shakes during the washing cycle.
  • Capacity for dryer is small.
  • Dryer doesn’t dry the clothes quite well.
Negatives common to all combos:
  • There is no exterior lint trap for the dryer. The lint tends to collect around the rubber seal and you have to empty that once a month depending on the frequency of use.
  • The clothes need to be free to tumble in order to dry completely. Fill only half of the drum if you’re going to use the dry function.
  • Noisy water pump that expels the water from the machine – although active only intermittently during the wash and rinse cycle.
  • Produces a bit of heat.
