I have only used it for a few weeks now but this is what I have noticed. - Takes longer to do a wash and dry than 2 seperate machines - The first few wash/dry loads smelt a little Id say mechanical but has gone away - I did try using a quicker wash/dry from the LG app but when I went to unload the clothes they were still wet. So havent tried it again but I probably put too much in as it did give a strict 1kg load only warning. - If Im in a rush Ill run the 30min wash and then run the dry - I do also like being able to operate it remotely through the LG app. So over all it works for me and Im glad I purchased it but if I had a big family I would probably go for 2 seperate machines
