Advantages

What users love most about this unit is that it allows you to come home to a fresh batch of clean laundry. With the delay feature, you can set the machine to wash an hour before you come home so that you only need to unload the moment you get home. The laundry is very clean and devoid of the slightest smell, due to the fact that it can remove up to 99.9% of germs from the load.

Disadvantages

One of the most common complaints is the moldy smell the laundry has after several uses if you do not clean the machine after every use. Soap suds and water left around the rubber gasket make the perfect home for molds and bacteria.
