Great video we have the LG model and it works great. If anyone believes that a separate washer and dryer offers faster laundry.... that may be if you are still doing laundry the old way staying home all day switching loads etc. We are a family of 5 and at night we put on a load and wake up it is done. Put on a load before leaving for work and come home it is done. Put on a load while working around the house and it is done when you are finished with other chores. You just have to change your laundry routine to a better one offering freedom to do other things. Our machine is quiet and seems to be saving $$$ in utilities and clothes seem to stay newer looking longer.

I clean it after every cycle so I don’t think we’re gonna have a problem with Lint. Again thank you for all the reviews you guys do.

Just picked up the Samsung unit for $1750 at Home Depot. Ran my normal size load on normal settings. Took 3 hours and clothes felt perfectly dry, no different than my previous regular washer dryers. Going to try the AI setting next to see if there’s a reduction in electricity usage. Very quiet, sleek, and efficient unit.

Thanks for the comparison of the various New HIGH TECH washer/dryer combo. It appears we are going to go with the GE Ultrafast, even though from the various postings they should have done their own correction’s of the lint filter. However, not a deal breaker since there are postings of how to do your own modification for trapping more lint from getting to the Heat Pump coils. Appreciate all the video postings especially with the GE Engineer of the ultrafast.

I've decided to get a pair of the GE's for our new home. My wife and I have 6 kids and switching the laundry doesn't always happen right away and often may take hours to get back to. I've been selling these for the last year at Spencer's in AZ with great feedback from clients thus far. Love the videos btw! Specifically ones that dive into service rates, data on failure points, and your takes on what to consider.

I didn’t know how much I would love these features until I had them. My laundry comes out very clean. I have tweaked my favorite loads so they are favorited, easy to use, and I can still modify as needed. I have gotten concerned about lint.

Nice comparison between all of them, looks like the GE ultra fast seems to be in the lead. I personally have a Miele washer and heat pump dryer. I must say you can get laundry done quicker with a separate washer and dryer. The dryer actually keeps up with the washer as far as when the washer is done with the load the dryer is as well.

Have had the GE one and done for about a year now I think. The lint area needs to be changed after every load for the best drying times. The heat sink does get lint on it not matter how often you clean the filter and you do need to vacume the inside of the lint area up after a few uses. Overall its been more of an upkeep than my traditional dryer but I still do like that everything (typically) is done all at one time no matter where I am.

Interesting lint issue, another tester found Samsung doing better on lint. What are the results wirh more loads?

@izomiac Ай бұрын

Great video. I like to stay on the cutting edge of technology, and get cut about as often as not for it, so I've been watching your videos for a different perspective on these newer machines. That said, I noticed that your testing method is essentially washing a week's worth of clothing in divided loads, which seems like reviewing tractors by their top speed. To me, there are two primary reasons to consider buying an all-in-one machine: 1) you have no other option (i.e. no space or no vent) or 2) you want to use the schedule feature to do laundry daily while you're away. If you batch up your laundry then having two machines is always going to be better for throughput compared to one, so these combo units will always look bad by those metrics. So I'm more curious how these machines perform with a mixed set of clothing/linens that a person might dirty in 1 - 2 days and how well they can finish loads at a set time (or at least a consistant and predictable amount of time). Taking eight hours to wash a load isn't a big deal, but working 12+ hours then having to stay up another three hours past my bedtime waiting on my laundry to finish an unexpectedly slow load is.

@1900Ellen 2 ай бұрын

Had I seen your videos before ordering, I would most likely have gone with the GE instead of the Samsung. FWIW, I've done around 30 loads and your exposure of the amount of lint build-up really has me worried. However, I ran an inspection camera back to the coils and mine look pretty clean, nothing like yours after 4 loads. I will admit that I'm paranoid about cleaning out the filter and actually vacuum it after every load. I still have a month before I'm locked in and, so far, I'm satisfied with the job it is doing.

Great video. Nailed it. The horribly long drying times for bedding on the LG and especially Samsung make them a non starter for me in several Airbnb rental properties for which I was considering them. The lint problem in the Samsung combined with its (IMO) overly all touchscreen computer interface make it a total non starter for any use case. The GE or LG could be a nice option for anyone looking to add laundry into a bedroom walk in closet where plumbing may be easily accessible from an adjacent bathroom but where more than 120V electric outlet (or gas) and a vent are not readily available, and also where the smaller size and set it and forget it design could be nice to do clothes without waiting for laundry day or taking laundry to a remote laundry room on another floor or basement of a house. I agree with you that the new heat pump separate dryer from LG, or the LG WashTower models with the heat pump dryer built in, make for a superior performing option. I just wish LG would make that heat pump WashTower without requiring a separate 240V outlet for the dryer part, which seems silly given how little amperage the dryer actually uses. Seems almost like a lazy design of just reusing the hardware from the regular electric WashTower unit so as not to have to have a separate part for manufacturing the chassis.

I live alone and only do laundry for myself, so I could use a smaller version, but I fear there's no such thing.

One thing I haven't seen and would like to see for the future is if the actual electricity usage can be recorded (smart plugs are pretty cheap these days). If one washer/dryer takes longer but uses less electricity, that would be a fair trade if you're just going to end up leaving it running before bed.

Thank you for this video. Been watching many to figure out which to get because when we did an addition on our house he builder moved the dryer vent piping and it’s now a 98 ft run with a lot of elbow and upward piping. 🤦‍♀️ we don’t want the risk of fire and the “big” vent cleaning company can’t be trusted to do a good cleaning we learned. A couple questions I’m curious to learn in your testing as we consider options. For the Samsung comforter test did you use the AI setting? I’ve seen quite a few others say that the AI setting ends up about the same time as the LG and GE, but comes out dryer. Also on the Samsung, when lint was found on the coils, did you run the product care cycle? That’s something we’ve seen mentioned that seems to make sure the coils are pretty cleaned up and is recommended to run every so many loads. Curious again just because it seems those things make a difference. Agree with you that it seems we need to see what happens 5 years down the road.

I tend to let laundry pile up and think the LG unit will be a huge quality of life boon. There’s a massive energy penalty for washing small loads with a traditional dryer because you remove the same amount of conditioned air regardless. In a place like Georgia where summer rates essentially double that’s a lot of money saved. With the auto dispensing detergent and a separate ozone system to reduce mold and lint I feel like this is the pinnacle of laundry.
