I have one and love it. They are not cheap but are tanks - mine is a Bosch. I got it when we needed a stackable washer/dryer for a small space. It has worked very well. Do not hook it into a pipe because it will have a method to remove the lint. Kind of yucky all that wet lint but it works. We live in Florida and kept it in one are sometimes with the door shut and sometimes not. It got warm but it was not obnoxiously hot! Good luck!
