I just got our flexwash and flexdry yesterday. We replaced our 1 yr old LG due to blankets catching on their lint trap, look that up before buying that LG model! Everyone raved about Samsung, so we went with the latest and greatest. The top washer is awesome for washing bras and underwear seperately, love it. The main dryer is not as efficient as my old dryer, but I need to use it a little more to be fair on rating, which I will do. The washer and dryer sit very low, you can sit on the floor and transfer clothes from washer to dryer. I don't know if a pedastal is available, but it would't be an option for us because we have cabinets above and need space for opening the top compartments. My one major complaint is scratches! It arrived scratched up. I watched it unwrapped at delivery, so it is my belief that it was scratched prior to shipping. I called Samsung and they said they don't cover that, and to let the retailer deal with it. The top plastic piece that says "SAMSUNG" scratches easily. I have babied it, but either I am noticing more preexisting scratches or it happened during the 2 loads I have done. I have not placed any items directly on either unit. I suspect they will redesign this part. It is a small plastic part, easily replaced. Both my units had a major scratch to the main metal casing also, we were offered an exchange by the store. We are gonna wait before deciding if this model is a keeper. There is no doubt having an extra washer AND dryer is a great asset if you value your time spend on laundry. BTW, we bought at Best Buy, and they have been terrific through the whole process, so far. This a newly released product and I searched for reviews with no luck, so I will update if anyone needs it.
