The Splendide 2000 S washer/dryer combo is the first washer/dryer combo I have ever owned. When I first learned about it I was a bit skeptical as I am used to the traditional separate washers and dryers. This unit is amazing! It's small and compact, yet very efficient and effective when you consider it's size. I have mine installed in my RV and it's perfect for keeping up with our day-to-day laundry needs.

For example, I have a family of four, and as long as I make sure to do at least 1-2 loads per day, I can adequately keep up with my family's laundry needs without any "dirty clothes pile-up". Keep in mind, this is a small unit, so you cannot pack a ton of clothes in it. I would say that a typical load could handle 2 pairs of mens slacks, 4 shirts, miscellaneous socks and underwear items, and maybe a towel or 2. The unit washes and dries the clothing in a reasonable amount of time and does and excellent job of stain removal.

The only drawback is that because the unit is not very large, there is limited space for the clothing to tumble. This often results in more wrinkles in the clothing than I would prefer. However, I resolve this by making my own "wrinkle release spray": Get an old spray bottle, fill about 9/10 with water & 1/10 of liquid fabric softener. Spray on clothing as needed after dry cycle and smooth with hands.

In all, I love my Splendide washer/dryer. It's great for small spaces and for keeping up with small loads on a daily basis.
