I looked for over 6 months before I purchased this set.  We bought the Duet HT set and have not been disappointed at all. 

I read consumer reports as well as talked to numerous friends and sales people about the different front loading washers and dryers including all options and pros and cons.  I learned that many other brands had an issue with the seals on the washers needing to be bleached to alleviate the smell of "wet clothes" approximately 2-3 times per month.  I have had this set for 2 months and have yet to have the "wet clothes" smell occur. 

We have washed and dried up to 42 pairs...
