A:Answer You've probably already purchased this or another washer and/or dryer, but I thought I'd respond to your question for others who happen by here.
The whole machine acts like a lint trap, and that's a problem. Lint builds up in the guts of the machine, which are only accessible when the top panel of the washer-dryer is removed. Given a little time, and despite proper care and regular basic-consumera-level maintenance, the build up of lint inside the machine prevents the dryer from drying (I mean, it'll dry, but it takes six to eight hours to dry a normal, not-too-full load).
And maybe it's just the way mine was set up, but since this machine was installed, my sink right next to it has been backed up and slow to drain. Maybe that's lint, but I don't know.
Do not recommend.
