Why Washer/Dryer Combos Are Usually Bad (& How That's Finally Changing) 

Been using an LG version of this for about 3 yrs and it's been great. It isn't as fast as using standard units, but it doesn't matter much when you don't have to move the laundry.

Bought this unit three days ago. 5 loads through it so far including my king comforter. This machine works very well and is a game changer, I already wouldn't go back!

Really love the bloopers that you include in the end of your videos. Its makes me chuckle to hear the weird sounds you have to deal with in order to make your amazing videos. Shows that it not always easy to make these kinds of videos and that you have to work hard to get it just right. Thanks for your continual work on in forming the masses about these new and interesting technologies!

But you never tested it or said how good or bad it works for you...

I've got a cheap Hisense washer/dryer combo, it fits more than my mum's washer at her place and takes 2h to dry all my clothes, it costs 300€

I have a combo one and the thing that people don't pay attention to is that the washer and dryer have different capacities. The same machine can wash more than it can dry, so most of the time they "overload" the dryer.

You missed one, very essential, hook up, the drain. Both the washer and dryer need to remove the water from the system.

Gotta say, very innovative and kinda cool! Love the idea of not having to transfer from washer to dryer. (which I always seem to forget...)

Here in the UK it's quite common to have a combo and again for the space saving the only down sidw to ours is that you can only fill the drum to a certain level then you can do a wash and dry, if you have loads of laundry to do it would take forever to do. Just my opinion washer dryers here are ideal for 1 person or a couple here, but that GE is so ideal here in the UK but again space is something we don't have and that machine looks massive

I'm looking for this tech to mature. Not because I want to save space. But because we are on a system where the cost of power varies depending on the time. Off peak is obviously the cheapest but we tend to be asleep during those times and no one wants to get up at midnight to change over the load from washer to dryer. I want to set it up on a timer to kick in at 11:pm and then wash _and_ dry the load without needing additional attention. We might even have, (dare I say it?) _two_ units and get _two_ loads done overnight. But by the time this comes around, I'll be retired, and with all the electric cars charging overnight, off peak rates will probably change anyway.

You said all you need to do is plug it in and connect the water supply and you're done. You missed one important step, the drain line.

These electronics, while convenient..my question is… how much if it breaks? Refrigerators for example, those smart touch screen ones I heard are expensive to repair. Though I do want a combo for the condo

I'm just curious about the longevity of this. Seems to be the more tech and features that are integrated into appliances, the sooner they fail. You want to be able to keep the dryer longer than 10 years

I'm a simple man. I'd just like to see them build an appliance that lasted more than 5 years.

I appreciate the peeling back the curtain of what you are up against creating content ❤😂. Great vid !

Even washer/dryer video from you is great!

LG has a prototype years ago, it does fold your laundry! Although the size is the entire wall of a kitchen, a proper full-sized kitchen! Maybe someday they'll come up with a compact and affordable design. One can dream 😁

My question has always been: Since it takes so many hours, does it waste more electricity?? Also, are they loud?

I love the sound of the music. It sounds every good on my speakers, surrounding sound. It's so cool.

so you didnt wash a single load for actual results

I have an LG one and it rocks!

Just bought one.I’m on the waiting list. I hope it’s as good as advertised. Looking to make more space in our utility room.

It's weird you guys discovering something that some of us had for a decade, and these days some of it had none of the complaints pointed in the video, and super smart and efficient

I'll stick with the separate washer dryer

Check back after 3 or 4 years of weekly use! 120 volt heat pump dryer ( not 240 volts) and a 1,600 final spin rpm- by Haier. Nice to see that the drum has very few holes to allow limited water extraction during final spin.

Washer and Combo dryer are also supposed to replace the laundry basket, u are supposed to drop the laundry in it at the end of day and start the cycle before going to sleep and get finished clothes in the morning.

One question ❓ how did you get the machine into the basement down those tight stairs❓

I'm currently looking into buying a washer/dryer combo lol. How did you know?!!

Just got our new GE combo and it is amazing!

Thanks for the nice review I'm obsessed with this thing got one on order for my cabin

Oh and for everyone out there stop wasting money on detergent and softener, simply use about 2tbls of baking soda "much cheaper and does the same job" and use distilled vinegar for the softener. You are welcome!

My question how often and how easy is it to change the filter

I still would prefer a traditional washer/dryer set, for the fact that you can only wash one load at a time with any washer/dryer combo. Even two hours is too much time for me.

The problem I see with washer dryer combos is that the majority of the stuff washed, can't go in a dryer. It has to be hung to dry. These machines would have to give you the chance to take certain things out before the dry cycle happens.

Whether or not its good now this is the future

The flashing gave me the 'flashed away' vibes 😂

I wanted to give you the sales commission, and I clicked on your link, but there's no delivery to my area! I have Togo to a dealership. Sorry! Thank you for helping me find this machine!

We have this one and love it, can't fill it too full to where it doesn't have any air space but other than that it fits us perfectly

How would someone go about cleaning this? Usually, there is a pod I put in my washer to clean it, is there something similar for this combo?

2:57 oh so its lik an air conditioner system but with different similarities

How much time does it take to fully dry normal load? Not dump dry but full dry.

i think a lot of people are starting to wise up to these giant plastic bottles of detergent, what about the pod users, or the Laundry sheets? Cool it has an auto dispenser for a laundry product that is not aging well.

They've had all in 1 combo washer dryers in RV's for years.

What about SUMMIT brand version of this? GE sold out in 2016 to Haier. a Chinese company ( as of 2016 )

I had a washer/dryer we call them here in the uk they seem like something new over there and condenser dryers 🤷🏻‍♂️😂 It really wasn’t bad at all had a 9kg drum was big enough for a big double duvet but 5.5kg drying. It was really quiet everything come out really clean and a 1550rpm they were pretty much just damp by the time it finished spinning and that was before the dry cycle was a “hotpoint Aquarius washer dryer” . It was great till it developed a balancing problem and would take forever to spin unless it was basically overloaded weirdly lol. It was a bored fault so just gave it away still worked but Would take nearly 45 mins or not at all to spin a load so done my head in and it got replaced with a lg direct drive. But gt heat pump dryer which is amazing on electric ⚡️😃 If you live on your own like me or even with 1 child and 2 adults you can manage perfectly well with a 2in1 it’s so convenient having everything washed and dried in the same thing! Make sure you fast spin the highest setting was 1550rpm on mine or extra high spin dry 🌀 and everything will dry quickly use slow speeds it will take ages to dry especially anything below a 1000rpm. Do that and you will have no problems and save electricity and time 👍🏻🙂 I would not recommend this for a family of 4 or more as waiting for it to wash and dry say like on a hot cotton wash will take up to 3/4 hours to do it all. You do have quicker washes but I don’t use the quick or turbowash button on my whites or quite dirty clothes because they don’t come out clean. I only use quick options for darks and stuff that just needs freshening up.

How loud is it?

Love ! Can it still plug in to the outlet in the the Laundry room? Does it still sit on the drain ? Do you need a drain pan ? What size pan would you need for it ?

How lazy can people get it literally takes one minute to transfer

at last a regular house thats not 2 million dollars. Reg people exist

So there is no need to vent the dryer? Is that a good idea?

anyone who buys this... do me a favor... Hear me out...any new machine that has tons of tech in it has a control board...Plug your machine into a surge protector (even if there's built in surge protection).. I can't say for sure that this will work...but I have a duet front load washer I got in 2005 (it's now over 18 years old) Within 2 years (around 2007) the control board went out...the control board got replaced and from that point on I've kept it plugged into a surge protector and no issues... Is this the reason? I don't know... but just to be safe, I'd do it.

Another thing which is annoying about the combo is they usually allow you to put 10kg of clothes to wash but only 4kg to dry which means you need to do the whole cycle with 4kg not 10kg as advertised, I have one, I hate it

Seeing this on a lot of channels. Wonder how many of them got their unit from GE for promotional reasons. (I'm assuming more than just you, though I think you're the only person who has said so outright.)

I understand that this thing weighs 300 lbs. Not RV friendly as weight is a huge factor for the traveling folks.

6hrs to do a full cycle? Is that an exaggeration

Very cool! Where did get the internal drawing @2:52 ?

Any chance on a Zenfone 10 real world test?? Pretty plz!!

Can I get this in UK with also included guaranty?

Ventless? Where does the heat go?

After hooking up a vent in my mobile home for my dryer it was a night mare to have to crawl under and run the vent to the outside skirting. Having a machine that not only saves space but is ventless sounds like the perfect combination.

Good commercial, I would like to get one so bad ! BUT: - I'm not in the US and doubt it's sold where I am - I can't afford it - I'm a renter and the furniture is part of the apartment, if it breaks down I have to call my landlord... And in a nutshell he isn't the friendliest out there...

Google Pixel Fold?

No basement history lecture?

Those noises at the end are just like my 2003 built flat in the UK! Absolutely horrendous what I can hear!! No peace when there’s a stomper upstairs who is mentally unstable!

Hi David

Waaaaaay too expensive.

I have it for three days and it doesn’t seem that impressive. Had 2 major issues already. Costco gave me 90 days to return it. First , issue it froze on the spin cycle with water for an hour. Needed to power off unit and restart unit. Then on the second cycle, when drying. It estimated 55 minutes. Took 4 hours and i had to pause the dryer and take the damp clothes and put it in my old dryer.

Electric drying

Please use metric system instead of cu.ft.

Why don't u let clothes dry outside,, in India we do hang clothes outside in daylight..

Great Video and Great Explanation for people use to a Standard Dryer. The unit has one flaw, Lint Bypassing the Filter assembly. Would you be interested in testing one of our Kits to catch the lint? RU-vid: Home Guy Customer Service Thanks

The explination of how the unit works, needs work.

Nice try Ditty.

😂😂😂😂كدحكني😂😂

ouch!! rough views on this one... maybe stick with a day in the life videos

💘💘

Sorry, but you look just like the character “Godwin” from the Netflix series “Vikings: Valhalla.” Speak with an English accent, and you can break into that series as a family member.

Noice. 😎

They don't dry the clothes all the way, I don't want damp clothes..2. I rarely want everything that I just washed to all be tumble heat dried. They take up too much time. With separate machines, while one load is drying the other can be washing.
