I absolutely love this unit. My son installed it into my kitchen to keep me from going up and down the basement steps with my arthritis to the big old Kenmore washer and dryer I have in the basement. I've kept the old Kenmore's, which still work great, for large items like blankets etc. I'll say it was relatively easy to install since I didn't hear any negative language from my son while he worked. I did buy the anti-vibration pads since they were recommended by other owners and it doesn't vibrate. Runs nice and quiet. Didn't really need to reference the manual to run since the digital face is very self explanatory and user friendly. One omission from the manual is how to run the unit with dry only but that is available online. Simple. I did not have any unpleasant odors like some users have noted. My knits come out dried completely although my bulky sweaters were a bit damp which is what I preferred, I hung them out to finish via air drying. Although you have smaller loads and longer drying times, I just set it and go do other chores (or have a glass of wine and read :) ). I honestly wish I had purchased this a long time ago. Online warranty registration was a breeze also. I definitely recommend this great little combo unit.
