Advantages

This one of the few combos in the market designed for small spaces where you cannot have a traditional washer or dryer hook up. You can plug the electronic plug directly into any outlet and the inlet hose can be connected to the sink.

The dryer also is designed to work fine without the need for an air vent. The unit comes with the sanitary wash feature that removes bacteria with very hot water and keeps white articles of clothing at their whitest. Another useful feature that users love is the delay wash feature which allows you to set the timer before you leave for work so it can start a few hours before you come home. That way you only have to unload fresh and clean laundry when you get home from work.

Disadvantages

It takes too long to wash and dry loads, as long as 3 to 4 hours for some. The machine is also sensitive to how the laundry is loaded. If the drum is unbalanced, the machine will reset and reset until the machine is balanced and this will take more time. The small capacity also means that you have to do multiple loads every week if you have a medium-sized family.
