Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

This thing is awesome, works great. The control knobs are on the very bottom, so don't put it on the floor unless you want to bend way over to use them or view them. Combined with the CostCo portable washer, I can now do laundry at home for cheap. No installation required, just plug it in. It comes with a wall mount bracket and a vent kit (no hose), which I don't use b/c it dries one load in about 20 minutes. I took off one star b/c the lint trap is awkward. You have to take it off the back wall, pull it apart and use a dry toothbrush to dislodge lint from a crummy fabric circle. The directions say to clean the lint trap after every use. I don't. I clean it after three loads. The nice thing about portable washers and dryers is you can take them with you when you move. You can replace them for an amount close to one service call. This equipment is not designed for a large family, and I'm sure it won't last 20 years like my mom's did, but at this price, so what?
