I have used machines similar to this when I visited Japan last year. I have not had a problem at all with mine, and I have been using it a month. To get the best clean, adjustments on how you do laundry have to be made. The only thing I dislike is that it does not have a lint trap like the Panasonic I used in Japan. It would be really helpful. Sorting by clothing type is a must. Only filling the tub halfway, because it will not dry properly if you overfill it. A pedestal lifting the unit to a higher height if you have a wall drain will shorten drying time. I tend to avoid using the cotton setting, as the clothes always seem to come out more wrinkled than when I use permanent press. Overall this machine is a great space saver, and I really like it.

1. I love that I have just 1 machine and not 2, saves so much space! 2. Love love love that I can start a load before work and come home to everything done. 3. Drying cycle work great! People having issues are overloading. You don't want to have the clothes fill more than half of the circle height wise. (Half gets you about 4 pants, 5 shirts, and a bunch of socks) so no it's not a lot but it cleans very well! I've put my queen size comforter which dried just fine and it smelled so good for days!! 4. We hooked it up to our sink disposable and sink water lines. It fits where a dishwasher or fridge would. Super easy hook up. They offered to install at delivery but since we were doing it differently, I just passed on installation. 5. VENTLESS!!! Yes ventless. It's in our kitchen and you don't need to vent it outside, it's amazing!! And is very helpful when you're renting. 6. It does take longer but when your at work all day, you don't even notice the time. Plus theres a turbo cycle that you can add which shortens the time. Points to note: if your lazy and dont fold/ hang your clothes when they're done, they'll get wrinkly. Also, at the end of each cycle you need to clean the lint on the door / rubber lip. (Literally takes 1 minute, I use a baby wipe) ....never found it in my clothes or all over the house like some reviews are saying. Overall best purchase I've ever made! You'll love not having to remember to change over the laundry and coming home to only having to put them away. Anytime I can skip a step, I'm all for it!!!

We had a previous version of this unit, the WM3988HWA, for about 12 years until a lightning storm fried it, so we upgraded to the newer model. This washer/dryer combo is great for small spaces, such as apartments or homes with small laundry rooms. It runs off of a standard 110v AC power plug, which is included. Also included are two water hoses to connect to hot and cold water sources, and a drain hose. Since it uses condensation to dry clothes, it does not require a vent hose. PRO: It will wash then dry an entire load of laundry at once. Just set it and forget it. When you come back, your clothes are clean and dry. CON: It takes about three or four hours to completely wash and dry a load of laundry from start to finish. Just put your clothes in at bedtime, they will be ready in the morning.

So...I first used one of these units while on holiday & fell in love with the concept. When my dryer and washer moved on, I searched for an “all-in-one” unit for their replacement. I found this unit and immediately attempted to research its dependability and size. It’s the size of a typical front load washer and requires no vent system. The turbo mode washes the clothes in 30 minutes and does a great job cleaning the clothes. The dryer setting takes a little longer than a typical dryer, but does a great job as well. I haven’t experimented with all of the different settings yet, but plan on doing it before the end of the year. Overall it’s pretty quiet during the initial wash cycle and dry cycle, the spin cycle is a little noisy, but nothing obnoxious. It costs a little less than a top of the line washer and dryer combined. The salesman was awesome and helpful, the delivery dudes were early and ultra competent.

I love this washer/dryer combo. Yes it takes a while to do a load. Just don't overload it and it's fine. Every person I tell it about has never heard of a washer/dryer combo so that's cool. I bought this one because it is 4.3 cu. Ft. And the other one was cheaper but way to small. So I got this one and would recommend it to any small family. I have myself my young daughter and my wife, it keeps up just fine. We made our laundry room smaller to extend our bathroom and that was the main reason we got this. It just have a bigger bathroom. But it was a great purchase. It runs of a 110 plug and not 220 and not natural gas.
