A friend's 24-year old son and his new husband moved to a rental house with an awful basement, accessed by a steep, narrow set of stairs. Guess where the washer and dryer were! At the boys' request, the landlord installed new laundry equipment in a little cove by the kitchen. That appliance? A new LG combo (condenser dryer).
They are happy with it so far, but are adjusting to having to wash and dry a load before continuing on to the next.
