I bought this washer dryer for my son as he had moved into a flat that had a very old washer dryer in it. My son is very pleased with it as it has meant that he can wash and dry his clothes in a short space of time dependent on the setting (obviously) . Any really stained clothes clean up beautifully, it has a steam setting so that you can freshen up clothes that do not need a full wash. The machine is quiet and has delay settings so that you can wash and dry clothes over night if required. Altogether very happy with this purchase
