[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We had to have the first one replaced after 3 cycles, the door latch was broken. For a home with a vet assistant and 4 dogs, there was a learning curve on where and how to clean out all the floof in the 2nd one that was delivered. Delivery was a mess with the first one being late, the second one was to be delivered a week later and wasn’t. Then had to wait another week to get the new one. Overall the experience was not a very convenient one nor would we bye an all in one again.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was ready to go back to separate washer)/dryers after my last combo. I'm so happy I decided to give it one more try. This combo is so great! It's quiet and does the job in a timely manner
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Perfect addition to my small condo. It has great features and does an excellent job. I couldn’t be happier with this purchase!!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Our company bought this to assist the custodial department in washing their reusable mop and rags. So far it has worked great for our needs and has been relatively easy to operate.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We needed more room in our utility bathroom as it’s an addition to a home built in the 1880s, so the space doesn’t function effortlessly.
My wife and I were skeptical at first on buying a combo washer and dryer because of reviews talking about long drying time.
From our research I can tell you most bad experiences we read about were user error and not the fault of Whirlpool or the appliance quality.
The first thing we washed was a queen size comforter, and it’s poofy. It far exceeded the maximum fill line, and it was completely dry in just under 4 hours (bulky/heavy duty settings).
We bought this in October and started using it in December. We have 3 cats and this probably contributes to the washer frequently clogging due to the lint management system. When this happens, you have to drain the basin and the setup for this is not ideal. We can go 4 full loads before we get the error message and have to unclog again.
During the drying cycle, water accumulates in the detergent tray, and then drips down the side of the unit to the floor. Poor design.
Other issue is the control panel sometime is unresponsive and I have to unplug the unit and plug it back in.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I have been using this washer/dryer for about a week in my apartment. I purchased it because I have no hook ups and the apartment company charges 2.75 for a wash and 2.75 minimum for 50 min dry.
It works great. It is a great washer, it vibrates a little when on max spin speed but a 50mm/1.96 gap between spaces is code and is more than enough.
That being said, it also drys the clothes but this is not as efficient as a vented dryer. I have put it through its paces and it will wash and dry a cal king comforter heavy weight in about 4.5 hours. It handled a load of socks and underwear above the fill line for drying in about 3 hours. It works for 1 person living alone. I tried washing and dry only instead of wash/dry and the results were damp. If you dry on dry only it spins then drys no matter what but doesnt dry all the way... So the best way is wash and dry.
It works!! Your clothes will be washed and dry. However, there is a slight design flaw with the detergant/softerner dispencer. Steam comes out of the dispencer when it drys. I had a tech come and diagnose it because I thought it was a defect. The hose that puts the detergent into the drum for washing does not have a valve. As a result, you will get some minor condensation/steam coming from the dispencer on the top of the machine. Its not too bad but a design flaw in my opinion. I guess you could block the opening with something when drying but that is optional. It doesnt make my apartment humid or anything.
Finally and again, it works and is a lot less expensive than LG. It is basic and gets the job done with the exeception of the minor flaw I described.
One last thing, you have to clean the rubber seal with something because it doesnt have a lint trap. You can use anything and Whirlpool recommends a specific item but I found clorox disenfecting wipes the cheapest option. About every 2 loads there will be lint all around the seal inside and out. I just use about 2 clorox wipes and it gets most of it and disenfects also.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We have been using this washer/dryer combo for about a month. There is a learning curve but so far it’s doing what it should. In the summer I’m going to wish there was a “wash only” cycle.
