Fagor FAS3612X 24-Inch Washer/Dryer Combination with 16 Program Settings/13-Pound Capacity, Silver

It works just fine. You really have to study the chart and know what you are doing before you select your washing and drying cycle. What I didn't know before I bought it because nothing was said on Amazon or anywhere else they sell this thing was that once you make your selections it owns your clothes and you cannot stop or change the cycle from start to finish, even if you unplug the thing it will continue on with the cycle until it thinks it is done and YOU CANNOT OPEN THE DOOR EVER until it thinks it is done with your clothes. You can for some odd reason pause it but you can't stop it or open the door until it is DONE so I don't understand why it even gives you the ability to pause it if you can't change anything or open the door? It even has a pointless child lock that once you set it it won't let you ever open the door until you release the child lock. Since it won't let you ever pause, or reprogram, or open the door once you start the cycle what is the sense in a child lock? A child old enough to climb inside it would be to big to fit in it. It is a real small load machine. So why do they even bother with a child lock? I have no children and I don't need the child lock anyway. I am very disappointed in this machine because it keeps your clothes hostage until it is done with whatever cycle you selected. So remember this if you buy this machine:1. once you select the cycle and heating time you can't ever change it.2. you can never pause it and open the door to add other clothes (you forgot to put in initially) and you can never stop the cycle to modify it or change it or remove clothes as needed.3. It recommends you mix larger and smaller and heavy and light weight with each other to get better dry tumbling, and I did this the first time and when I noticed some chamise tops with ribbon like straps were dry I couldn't get them out. I had to watch the straps shrivel up with too much heat and tumble action and I was cussing the whole time because the machine wouldn't pause and open the darn door. I am use to my other dryers where you could check to see if things were done drying and pull some things out, so I ruined the straps on some of these delicate chamise.I HATE THIS MACHINE because of this. It was a very DUMB way to DESIGN the functions on this machine. People like to have more control over their washer and dryers. YOU REALLY HAVE TO THINK WHAT YOU ARE DOING before you wash and dry any clothes in this machine. God forbid if you need to take an article out before it is done because you CAN'T! If you forget an item you can't pause it and put it in. THIS IS A VERY UNFORGIVING MACHINE and I would like to meet the morons that designed it and give them a piece of my mind. If it was designed by the French, maybe they are trying to punish free spirited Americans that like control of their lives and their laundry? I wish I could get my money back because this machine is going to be frustrating to use. I will be tense every time I use it hoping I select the right cycles and I got everything in it I needed to and I don't need something before the cycle is done. I hate this machine! It does wash and dry well once you know the cycles. I will never love a machine that controls my laundry the way it does. It is a monster! I knew it would take longer to wash and dry and it does but it does a good job. So if you can tolerate how the morons designed this machine to function then you will like it. It is small and compact. It is a heavy little sucker also. It is nice to fit in a small space. It is physically well built also. It does wash clothes very well. I gave it one star because I hate it and I wish I had never bought it.

Long story with this machine.Did like it at first: compact, ventless, set-and-forget and the load is done from wash to dry; we have it on the 2nd floor, so no running up and down to do laundry; it's quiet enough and doesn't wake us so we were able to run overnight loads -- it does have many good features.But after 18 months, I do regret investing in this model.Defective inlet hose and broken drain hose right off the bat. New inlet hoses were sent relatively quickly, but still didn't work. I blame that on design flaw. Got my own at Home Depot instead. The broken drain hose was also fixed onsite relatively timely. Good enough customer service. If that was all with this machine, I'd have been happy with it.Unlike other 2-in-1, this one has no problem with drying. At times, clothes actually came out way too dry and stiff.It uses little water but that also makes my whites turn grey as the white absorbs the dirt in the very concentrated dirty water. A lot of my kids clothes are ruined this way, they become unpresentable and unbelievably wrinkled. We don't dry our dress shirts with this machine. All hang dry.Now after 18 months, the drying function is dying as even after 3 hours of drying a half load of clothes, it is still very damp and has to be hung dried. We also started getting error codes F04 & F07, along with burnt smells, loud bangs, electricity short circuit 'fzzzzt' or zaps sounds, etc.Call to find repair, but we are out of luck as it is an European design 2-in-1 combo. No offense to European products, I love many things from Europe, but no traditional appliance repair shop in my North American town seems to want to touch it. Biggest problem as they explained to me, besides not knowing the ins-and-outs of the machine, is that the repair shops can't get parts.I phoned the "authorized" repair shop closest to me (in a different city), they charge a whopping $220 ($125 per hour + $95 travel) with tax, so it will cost me $250 to have them just check out the machine; and with parts, if any, this can easily be a $400 to $500 fix. They are actually unsure if they even have anyone close enough to me that they will come to me.So, I'm stuck with this machine, too expensive to fix, too expensive to dump.Learned my lesson: Will stick with brands that are popular in North America that any shop can fix. Or if you still want to try out this Fagor machine, make sure you get extended warranty.
