Equator EZ 3612 CEE Front Load All-in-One Washer / Dryer

Pros: Energy efficient; excellent job of cleaning clothes; compact size; ventless.
Cons: Equator-acknowledged defects including electrical shorts, control-board burnouts, and machines catching fire.

Bought Equator EZ 3612 CEE in February 2003 after investigating several models of washer/dryer combos. Chose Equator for the following reasons: 1. Well-respected and well-known dealer sold Equators and used one in his store. Dealer as well as his ...

Pros: Does a great job, quiet, easy to use, ventless, highly energy efficient, eliminates the laundromat
Cons: Horrible Customer Service - I mean BAD!

I've only had this machine (model EZ 3612 CEE) for a little over a month, so I can't comment on the dependability; though I wouldn't think it should be different than any similar appliance. That said, this is probably one of the best purchases I have ...

Pros: Water and power efficient, small size but big capacity, easy to use
Cons: dryer doesn't work as well as a standard vented

When I had finally grown tired of trying to get my laundry done in one of the two washers and dryers in the basement of my building that has 18 apartments, I decided to look at purchasing a portable for my apartment. Trudging down the stairs with ...

Pros: Washes and dries perfectly in one device. Easy, carefree operation and great electricity/water savings.
Cons: Small load capacity. Known technical issues that need to be addressed for reliability.

I bought my EZ3612 combo washer/dryer unit as a refurbished scratch and dent bargain on Ebay for $400 including shipping. I have very limited space in my apartment and was looking into a stackable when I stumbled upon the combo concept. For about the ...

Pros: Works good at first. Gets clothes clean, is very efficient and uses very little detergent.
Cons: Dryer died after two years. Make and model notoriously bad.

I bought this unit in March of 2003. For the past two years it has worked fine and done a great job. Recently I began to notice that the unit wasn't drying my clothes like it used to. I'd put in a normal load and they would come out still largely wet. ...

Pros: NONE!!! Unless you have tons of money to throw away
Cons: EVERY THING ABOUT EQUATOR IS A CON

I am like most of the people here I have had NOTHING but problems with my machine. Like everyone else has said the customer service is a joke at best. I should consider myself lucky after reading what others have written. Right after I bought the ...

Pros: Energy and water efficient, no need for dryer vent or 220v outlet
Cons: Less capacity than you'd expect, service so bad your warranty will seem worthless

I purchased the Equator EZ 3612 in July 2003 in part based on the positive reviews I read here at Epinions. I wish I had instead heeded the sales rep at my local appliance store who said they ceased to carry any washer/dryer combos due to poor ...

Pros: When it works its great, but.....
Cons: TERRIBLE PRODUCT- EVEN WORSE CUSTOMER SERVICE

Purchased my combo machine, and installed it with ease. Washes great, dries good. After 3 months the thermostat goes. I have that replaced($150.00) It works great for almost a year. Out of the blue it makes a popping noise, its circuit breaker trips ...

Pros: dirty clothes in, clean clothes out, 120VAC, efficient
Cons: SUPPORT AND SERVICE ARE HORRIBLE!!!

I bought my 3612CEE in early December of 2003. I wanted something small, efficient, and the idea that I could load dirty clothes into a machine and pull out DRY clean clothes was appealing. The machine worked fine for three months until late February ...

Pros: Small, convenient when you have little space. Washes well when it actually works .
Cons: Small wash loads, wrinkled laundry. The machine is constantly in need of repair.

In the two and a half years that I've had this machine, I've gotten 3 months use out of it. After 3 months it stopped drying. It took weeks of continuous calling to get a live person at Equator. Then it was a huge problem to get the name of a repair ...

Pros: Ease of use. Compact. Energy Efficient. Low water use. Gentle on Fabrics. Multiple Settings.
Cons: The only problem is the small capacity, I wish they made a bigger version!

We have owned our Equator 3612 CEE for almost two years and we have really enjoyed owning it. Unlike what seems like the majority of reviewers on this site, we have had a very positive experience with the machine and the company that distributes it in ...

Pros: It sounds good on paper.
Cons: Low capacity washer, poor drying capability, poor service. Somebody should sue these guys.

This machine would be great if it worked, if it had half the capacity they claim it has, if the dryer part would actually dry the clothes, if it didn't break down (or if the warranty actually covered something), and if customer service wasn't a bunch of ...

Pros: efficient (why would you want to move clothes from the washer to the dryer?)
Cons: controls cycle time (not an issue if you compare it to the usual washer/dryer combo)

I've owned my Equator for 2.5 years and I wouldn't trade it for any other laundry machine that I know of. Would you buy separate Dish washers and Dish dryers? It just makes too much sense to put your dirty laundry in the machine and take it out when it ...

Pros: The machine takes up very little space and washes well when and if it works.
Cons: The worst customer service and terrible workmanship.

I had a Malber combo ventless washer/dryer for 10 yrs so I already knew that drying time would be quite a bit more than conventional vented dryers. I figured in 10 yrs, they must have made a lot of improvements. I then read the professional reviews of ...

Pros: Washes and dries all in one unit
Cons: Expensive piece of worthless junk

I bought a Refurbished machine off of Ebay. I even left them positive feedback since when I got the machine it worked fine. They kept sending me emails reminding me to please leave them positive feedback. I wanted to wait and see how the machine worked. ...
