Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Installed this unit in our condo one weeks ago and love it. I was very skeptical because you read so many mixed reviews on combo units. But so far I only have two issues that came up, both mentioned below. But for the record this washes great and completely dryers all the clothes inside in 2 hrs 20 min. At first I felt that was a bit long, but then I realized using a normal washer/dryer takes 1 hr 30 min, so really it's only 45 minutes longer. Plus you don't have to come back to move the clothes, it switches cycles and does everything by itself. Honestly after using this I don't know why these are more popular, they make a lot more sense than buying two huge dual units. Two issues to work through If you are putting this in a kitchen or on old hardwood floors, you may want to buy Washer Anti-Vibration and Anti-Walk Pads VIBRAFIX (sold on Amazon). I leveled the unit so it stopped shaking, but on the extra high spin it still vibrated our stove right next to it in the kitchen. It's an old condo from the 50s, so the old floors have a little movement to them. Those pads fixed the problem 100%. The second issue is the brand new rubber smell when using high heat. Recently the rubber coming from Japan or Korean has a really strong smell that takes a while to go away. My new bicycle tires were the same way. I assume it lasts longer or something of that nature, but you have to work through it. We stopped using high heat, switched to normal and then used fabric softener. After that our clothes came out fine. Plus after about ten times using it the smell is almost gone, but they should really do that at the factory. At first we thought there was an issue with the unit, but on other sites people had the same issue and recommended those fixes unit it's broken in. It's worked for us, so it's unfortunately just a use/timing issue.
