[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love the machine but service is nonexistent. I will only touch on service with this review to complete the story on the product itself.
First the machine - installed, calibrated and set up, test wash and then a snag when we attempted first load. Error about 20 min in saying check shipping bolts with no option to get out of error. We quadruple confirmed they had been removed but only option after 30 min call was for the deli/installers to come out. After much back and forth we acquiesced knowing they were not going to be able to do anything. Mind you you this was scheduled for another week out - unacceptable given all the issues we had getting the machine.
So we unplugged the machine to stop the beeping and I ran a rinse spin on the load that had stopped. Same problem.
After several more attempts and checks I unplugged again, and recalibrated after plugging back in. IT WORKED! After that load we moved the machine back in place - it’s heavy but sliders are awesome - AND recalibrated again. No issues.
It does take getting used to putting in and taking out dry clothes. I did validate several times that water was going in and out and the drum was spinning! Having a tank that contains the soap and fabric softener for multiple loads is weird. I can’t tell if it’s using either or how much it’s using. Time will tell on that matter.
I have done maybe 12 loads of laundry in the the past 3 days since getting the machine (seriously a whole nother story on delivery (scheduled 4x not once because of us - and oh so much more) so I feel a bit of an expert having done so much laundry and choosing the different cycles.
For towels even though I asked for more dry, I still had to do another time dry cycle for them to actually dry.
I don’t iron so the fact that some clothes complete more wrinkly than my old machine is something I need to work with. (I do hang and fold immediately)
An annoyance I will work through is that I can’t stop the dryer and open the door right away as the machine feels it needs to cool for about 5 min regardless of the length of time it was on.
We got black and I love the color. I also love that I have more room in my laundry room!
We did not want to introduce more humidity into the house so got the vented version and put the machine where the washer once stood. Our laundry table/basket now sits where the dryer was and you can’t see the dryer vent behind.
The machine is relatively quiet. It doesn’t take a lot of extra time to run a wash/dry cycle (<1 hour to about 2 to 2.5 hours).
I recommend this machine so far but consider purchasing from your local appliance store where service may be a commodity.
