Join Steve and Fran as they delve into the world of combination washer-dryer heat pumps in this semi-ranking video. While historically skeptical, they're now exploring the latest models from GE Profile, LG, and Samsung to see if these machines have improved enough to change their minds.
Discover the key features of each brand, from GE Profile's well-thought-out design and Microban technology to LG's reliability and advanced features like TurboWash. Samsung stands out with its innovative technology, including a 20-year warranty on the motor and an LCD touchscreen with customizable cycles.
While these combination machines offer convenience and space-saving benefits, we caution against overloading them, especially for large families with heavy laundry needs.

We just got our profile as a family of 5, 4 being women. Its a great machine so far. In my opinion the concept of how you do laundry rather than a laundry day just throw a load in in the morning and one at night. 14 loads a week if you are consistent. There's no way with a standard washer and dryer setup you could do that in a laundry day or days. I think it's just adjusting your routine and schedule to optimize the ability and potential of the one and done. And maintenance is key. Just adapt to the machine and I believe these are the future with a change in traditional laundry mindset.

Who are these people that are sitting next to their washer and dryer and jumping up all day Saturday and Sunday every half hour? The GE Combo has given my freedom back. I actually spend less time doing laundry now and it’s far far easier. Our laundry never gets forgotten in the washer and needs to be rewashed (that will negate your speed run laundry frenzy). I finally have a modern machine that does the work for me! You have to clean the lint filter on a regular dryer each time, there is no extra work with these. In fact I never have to clean out my 2 story vertical vent pipe again, which is either do it myself or hire someone to do it for $400. These combos save more than is immediately apparent - time, money, sanity.

@dregenius Ай бұрын

And that's not even accounting for the fact that they don't take conditioned air from your living space, heat it up with 6,000 watts of electric heat and *blow it out of a 4 inch hole in the damn wall*! I recently learned that vented dryers have been illegal in Switzerland for like 30 years because of how disastrously inefficient they are and how asinine the concept is to begin with!

We were interested in one of these because we are doing a bathroom remodel. The no vent and 110v would have knocked almost $4k off of the project. But, after looking at all the reviews that we could find, we opted for the LG tower. The all in one units just require too much maintenance. ie... clean the filters, pumps, and condenser. And like you said in this video, it's almost a 2 for 1. We are a retired couple, so we want simple, easy, and something that will last and is serviceable at a reasonable cost and time.

Very nice video/discussion of various Washer/Dryer All In One!!! Been watching your video’s since the GE Ultrafast came out and now there is 3 models out from 3 companies. It is nice to see the comparison!! Since you seem to have connections to at least GE with the engineer interview. It has been a year since GE came out and the one complaint has been lint build up on the coils, appears to get around the lint trap. Why has not GE come up with a modified lint trap to do a better job? I have contacted GE and get a standard response with no solution. Lots of $$$ for a major problem due to lint buildup. There are video’s adding seals/foam to keep the lint from getting around the gap’s in the trap, for GE to see where the problem occurs! Thanks

@Y_Alexandra 5 күн бұрын

I have the LG Combo washer and dryer . Just bought for $1k at Best Buy outlet. Works great if you have lazy teenagers that forget to take out load after washing than gets smelly. They can set it walk away & have a fresh dry load after 3 hours. If you like to wash quick like a crackhead you also have that option. Quick wash is 20 min. Then you can set to dry for 30-40 minutes.

@guillaumepare9651 13 күн бұрын

Conserning the more time it takes: 1) How many times you forget or are not available to put the washed cloths on the dryer? 2) With two machines, laundry is mainly done during WE. With that kind of machine, you can spread that nore dutring the week, because it does all the job and it doesn't matter if you leave it for a long time after it's done (unlike with a wasing machine).

@ron4274 Ай бұрын

If these combo heat pump units prove to be effective & reliable, I would consider replacing our current W/D set (separate units) with two combo units since the space is already available (subject to affordability, of course). That would reduce the advantage of being able to overlap loads in separate units, plus each load would be handled less. Plumbing and electrical changes would be minimal and easy in my case.

@richardfodaski5827 Ай бұрын

One of the Samsung product pictures shows the condenser coil being cleaned and removing accumulated lint.FROM THE 3 combo units you featured,this I think is the only one with this feature.I am guessing the lint flushed away from the condenser coils end up in the lint trap.Great feature

Quick questions... Doesn't the Samsung have a lint cleaning cycle or method? Is it of any value? What about Samsung's energy & water consumption tracking? You were talking about service isn't there big box store service contracts? Finally, from the standpoint of two guys in a relatively small two bedroom apartment doesn't any of these three units make better sense in terms of cost of installation & ROI (with extended service contracts) vs. time and cost of using a laundromat? Which one between the LG or Samsung would you choice?

It depends on how you use the unit. On my Samsung, I throw some clothes in it in the morning and before I go to bed. It's like people who complain about charging an electric car. Normally, it's done at home while you're sleeping, eating, or watching TV. It takes no time out of your day.

@drwisdom1 Ай бұрын

The selling point on combo washer and dryers is they save space, and secondarily you don't have to change the clothes from the washer to the dryer. Those are unimportant features compared to cleaning quality, dependability, longevity, and cost. The combo machines should be avoided in the same way as avoiding buying a combined computer and monitor. When one component breaks you have to throw away and repurchase the still good component with it. It is like a car with unremovable wheels where if you get a flat you have to throw away the car.

@theflew 28 күн бұрын

You're missing the significantly reduced chances of fire, the significant reduction in energy cost from the dryer alone, and the reduced heating and cooling cost. I assume the cleaning quality is the same as their standalone washers. Let's stop pretending dehumidifiers are a new technology. Given there isn't a 6kW heating element or flame thrower in the case of gas dryers, these things should be fairly reliable.

Our Samsung washer was so poorly engineered it flooded our house, the warranty was a fraud, and we threw it away after 1.5 years. While it was just a washer, not the combo model, I would only get Samsung electronics. Samsung doesn't know what it is doing, and they don't care, when it comes to mechanical devices. It is a level of incompetency that is rare in modern times. The critically important part of this video starts at 5:55 where Mr. Sheinkopf discusses the warranties. If after 1.5 years with a warranty the Samsung washer can't justifiably be fixed, it will certainly be unfixable after a decade. Being in the business Mr. Sheinkopf is able to put two and two together while the uninformed learn it through suffering.
