Kenmore Elite 41002 4.5 cu. ft. Front Load Combination Washer/Dryer in White, includes delivery and hookup

EDIT: While I love the machine, It's dead now after only 7 months. Do not buy! Love the way it makes laundry easy, but a high price for 7 months of use.I have owned this washer/dryer for almost a month now and absolutely love it. As other have said, it's probably not a great choice for a big family, but with a little planning, a 1-4 person house hold is fine.I was hesitant on buying it due to some reviews on Amazon and I would like to address those:1) I read it doesnt dry well. - I have had no issues with this. Dont overload it. Also, because it dries with steam, cloths "feel" like they make be a bit wet when you first reach into the dryer, but when you take them away from the steamy drum, they feel dry in seconds. I've even washed hallway rugs and had no issues.2) It's easy to overload - Again, no issue. I have filed the drum half way up with heavy jeans and shirts and had no problem. The load did take 4.5 hours, but who cares? I didn't have to wait to move it from machine to machine!3) Loads take a lot longer - Loads do take a bit longer, but because the machine is all in one, who cares? I put my cloths in before I go to bed, set the delay for about 4 hours, enable the "Keep Fresh" feature and like magic, the laundry is ready for me in the morning. Laundry does indeed take longer, but they require no attention from the user. With the delay timer and keep fresh, just plan a bit ahead and you will no longer have a "Laundry Day" at your house. Because it is ventless, there is almost no risk of fire, so I feel comfortable letting it run while I am at work. My laundry now does itself while I sleep or am at work.All in all, I love the washer/dryer combo and dont ever see going back to 2 separate machines. We did buy the pedastal to put it on, which is nice because of all the storage inside and the top of the machine does get hot, so I dont feel comfortable leaving anything on top of it.

We read reviews keeping an open mind needing this for a townhome and purchased to save space. Well, there was so much steam after i opened it i had to reach for my oven mitts, I DID. I can not stress enough you must read the whole manual for this product. I did not have the patience. I had to rewash shirts becuz they were totally wrinkled. I had a deodorant stain on my sweatshirt and well after spraying the stain, letting it sit, then washing I wanted to check on it, but the door was locked I couldn't pause the machine to release the lock and I guess it baked the stain onto fabric not to mention my husbands knee high socks turned to ankle socks. My friend mentioned it sounds more like an oven. The buttons were soo hot on shirts and jean zippers.. omgosh. I couldn't touch my clothes. If you have animals as we do, the smallest dog hair kind of bakes on the inside rubber part of tub. And yes we tried to clean it every wash but it was soo hot I felt like I was cleaning a hot oven. But really who has time to clean the rubber after every wash. We did lent roll our clothes before putting them into the wash but theres always some hair left. I hope this product works well for some but we definitely gave it a good 3 weeks and finally had to buy 2 separate units.The bottom drawer was excellent and served its purpose. Its sold separately.I would not recommend this washer/dryer combo unless you are fully committed in reading the manual. I wish someone could have showed me how to use it because I rewashed alot of clothes. They came out wet and had to line dry most on a portable cart.It saved time from switching clothes out into a dryer but to also find out a full load will not get dry enough. Also, I kept finding myself rewashing clothes in order to get the dryer to work. But some may not have this problem.The Amazon delivery guys were so polite and understanding. They did an amazing job and didnt scratch our trim like NFMart did. Would purchase from Amazon again. Amazon has great service!!

Machine both washes and dries very well. You just have to read the instructions. Don't pack the drum and your clothes will come out clean and dry. We haven't had any issues with wet clothes. takes a bit longer then a regular dryer but who cares when you can load the clothes once and forget about them. We find using the damp dry and the stay fresh option delivers perfect clothes not over dried or wrinkled . Machine is very quiet and a great space saver. We are a family of 4 and it works well with all types of items.UPDATE:we have found that using "damp dry" works best. we wash the clothes during the evening and during the day hit the "stay fresh" button and they are not too over dry just perfect. works great. a time and space saver.
