I bought my wife the Whirlpool Duet system a few years ago and it is fabulous. We moved about four months ago and left the appliances as they were part of the house sale. At the time they were all top of the line Whirlpool products. I wouldn't hesitate to buy the duet system again. We are waiting for the washer and dryer in the new house to pack it in so we can replace the old units with the Whirlpool system. YMMV. \:\)
