Limitations
The HM-36V1/W lacks modern digital controls and advanced washing programs found in newer models. Its limited drum capacity restricts it to smaller laundry loads. The drying function relies on vented airflow, requiring proper installation and additional venting hardware. It does not include high spin speeds, resulting in longer drying times.
