Serious Design Flaw
By Gregory L
As one of the other reviewers noted, the washer drum jumps off the hydraulics regularly.We put one of these in one our apartments. It worked well for about a year and then headed south.I watched as a repairman opened it. The washer drum is held up by three struts/shock absorbers that sit in these slightly cupped supports. If the wash isn't perfectly balanced (and how could any be that way), it jumps off the strut.Great size. Not at all built to last.

contrary to others, it's very good, not great
By New York City
Over 20 years I have had two of these, because it is the only stackable that fit in the space. I bought a new version about ten years ago thinking that newer would be improved, it wasn't--but that is fine, it didn't need improvement. It is a great little workhorse.The good news is that it is quick, thorough, dryer is fine, and my housekeeper has always put in ridiculous amounts of laundry--with two boys and a husband who all play sports. The machine works constantly in our house. In fact, the machine can take lots of laundry, like all the bedding of a queen bed plus some hand towels and undergarments, and wash well, but it is the rinsing that isn't thorough when the drum is that full. It does if you put very, very little soap--and if one has been reading about washing machines, it turns out that it is the rotating action that actually cleans the clothes, not the soap beyond a minimal amount.The dryer too, is great--contrary to some complaints.The negative is that indeed it does go off balance, frankly more so with fewer items that are in the tub, especially if they are heavy. And I also agree that the cover does rust in the corners after 10 years. Not noticeable when closed, and barely noticeable when open. I thought it was just ours because it is in a closet, so not a lot of air ventilation.Lastly, and no one mentioned this, but I do find the dryer creates a lot of lint. It is important to clean the filter every second or third time--otherwise it gets completely blocked for letting air vent out. Perhaps that is why some people complain about the dryer taking a long time. With a clean lint filter it seems to work well.I would recommend this, but am currently investigating the GE 24".The best feature about this washing machine is that one can do laundry quickly. A whole wash cycle can be less than 25 mins. With a lot of laundry to do, that is a HUGE benefit, unlike my friends who have the European Miele and Bosch, and the currently popular front loaders--all of which take FOREVER.Conclusion, this little stackable has been a stable machine that I like a lot and it is not so expensive.

By amber grimes
I have a small laundry closet, and this is definitely the only unit that will fit in the space. I find the washer tub to be surprisingly large for such a small unit. I often load it all the way to the top, and I consider the loads comparable to standard size washers. It does get out of balance sometimes with heavy items such as towels, but not excessively often, and usually only when heavily loaded. My boyfriend does a lot of sanding and grinding, and the washer handles the dirt and grime very well.While I am completely satisfied with the washer, I am concerned about the utility usage of the dryer. I have to run each load twice, even small loads. I have tried cleaning out the hose, and I clean the lint trap every time I run it. I actually came across these reviews while searching for possible trouble-shooting solutions to increase the efficiency of the dryer.Overall, considering the size of this little unit, I think it does a great job, and I have not had the same experience as some of the other reviewers. I run this machine almost daily, and it works like a champ, despite my abuse of overloading it and running filthy clothes through it.
