What's great about it: Lot's of options to configure cycles, works well, loads dry in under an hour
What's not so great: Humidity sensor is not always accurate.
We purchased the dryer along with the corresponding washer. The washer worked great from day 1. The dryer, however, took over 4 hours to dry a load of towels and at the end of the 4 hours, the towels were still quite damp.
I called Best Buy the next day and we arranged to have a replacement machine sent. Best Buy was very helpful.
The replacement dryer arrived and everything dries in under an hour. The machine tries hard to keep out wrinkles and it does a really good job.
We have the steam option, and frankly I think this is a waste of money. I think you could accomplish the same thing by squirting your wrinkled, dry clothes with some water before putting in the de-wrinkle cycle. Unless you often leave your clothes in the baskets and need to remove wrinkles alot, then maybe it's worth the money. It does seem to work well at this task.
The dryer tumbles clothes in a way where they wrap up like a cocoon.
We seem to have some confusion on "Normal Dry". It seems that the machine's definition is that for heavier clothing, it may be a bit damp at the end of the cycle. We like our clothes dry for just about everything, so "More Dry" or :Very Dry" seems to be the choices for us. "Normal Dry" is just too wet :)
Otherwise, the machine seems to work really well. We have 3 users in the household and everyone is pleased.
This product is or has... Big enough capacity for a comforter, A steam cycle, Stability, so it doesn't vibrate my house, All the cycles I need, Acceptable level of noise, Great at getting wrinkles out, All the settings I need
About me... Teenage kids, Looking for energy savings, Budget Conscious, Parent of kids, everyday user
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: Washes clothes really well. Sensors manage the cycle to ensure a good result.
What's not so great: Can take more than 1 hour to complete a wash cycle
The washer works great! We've tried all different types of loads, heavy and small, delicate and heavy duty. The machine has handled it all without issue.
The hand-wash cycle works great. We washed a delicate dress for my daughter and it came out better than the manual jobs that we had been doing in the sink.
Capacity is huge and handles all bedding from our King size bed.
This product is or has... A great water saver, All the cycles I need, Energy efficient, Big enough capacity for a comforter, Doesn't vibrate my house, Great at getting tough stains out, Easy to use controls

What's great about it: Once working the sound quality is great and it's very comfortable
What's not so great: Sudden static sometimes
Sometimes the jack doesn't redirect the sound from the TV to the unit. We have to plug it in and out a few times until it takes. We have had instances where the audio no longer comes from the TV but doesn't come out of the head phones either. If you keep playing with it you can get it to work.
I have had a couple of instances where sudden static replaces the sound.
However once it's working, the sound quality is awesome.
Given the frustration, I think I should've bought something cheaper.
This product has... Perfect fit
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Apple® - iPad® 2 with Wi-Fi - 16GB - Black
The all-new thinner and lighter design makes iPad 2 even more comfortable to hold. It's even more powerful with the dual-core A5 chip, yet has the same 10 hours of battery life.1 With two cameras, you can make FaceTime video calls,2 record HD video and put a twist on your snapshots in Photo Booth. And the iPad Smart Cover attaches magnetically and wakes up, stands up and brightens up your iPad 2.3

What's great about it: Easy set up. Easy to use. Looks great!
What's not so great: High price tag
I've recently become a fan of Apple having owned an iPod touch and an iPhone. The iPad2 is pretty much a large iPod touch with tremendous screen clarity. It is alot more expensive than Android OS competitor products and this is like buying a BMW instead of a Kia. The product is just sleek, intuitive and easy to use.
This product is... Good sound quality, Easy to set up and is lightning fast, A nice compact size, Great screen size

Can I add my detergent myself while washer is filling with water, and NOT use the dispenser?

Technically you could, but the water won't run while you have the top open, so you'll risk damaging your clothing. Use the dispenser, the water flushes the soap out in a way to avoid damage to your clothes.
