A: Good day, We appreciate you reaching out and will be happy to explain the ventless drying process. Here are the steps in the drying process: 1.Ambient air inside the unit is heated by a heating element. 2.Process air (heated) enters drum to absorb moisture and dry load. 3.Process air (heated wet) enters the condenser, is cooled releasing moisture. Moisture collects in the tub and is removed from the unit through the drain pump. 4.Process air (cool dry) exits the condenser. 5.Process air (cool dry) enters heater and is reheated. 6.Process air (heated) re-enters drum to absorb more moisture and dry load. There's no hot air that's emitted into the room. Reach out if you have any other questions. Mike@GEA
A: Hello, This is an excellent question to ask! Here's a brief explanation of how ventless drying works. Ventless condenser dryers use a dual loop airflow system. The first loop draws in a small amount of ambient air which passes through the condenser for initial heating. The heated air is then pushed into the drum, where it heats up the wet laundry and causes water to evaporate. This air is then looped back into the condenser where it's cooled down - that's the second loop. The air that's already inside the condenser is reheated and sent back into the drum to repeat the process until the clothes are dry. The water that is extracted goes to a tank or an external drain. If you have any additional questions, please let us know. Best wishes! Mike@GEA

Let me set some expectations... but NEAR PERFECT!!
Honestly, this thing is pretty stellar. I have some positives and some negatives, but the pros DEFINITELY outweigh the cons. Let me set some expectations... Pros: 1) First and foremost, this machine is CONVENIENT. Put dirty clothes in and clean clothes come out DRY?! Wild. My 10 year old Samsung W&D both completely failed within the span of a few days... I needed an excuse to buy this as I've been eyeing it ever since it's release. And here was my excuse! I was hoping for my current set to last until there was a single unit that could also fold, but I suppose this will suffice. Maybe in the next 25 years... 2) Efficiency! It is super energy efficient. It is a closed-loop heat pump system only needing a 120v outlet. Maximum wattage usage is about 550-600w, which is REMARKABLY low, especially compared to a standard electric set. So expect typical cycle usage of about 1.5kWh-ish. 3) No vent! It's an underrated feature, but it gives you the ability to truly put this anywhere (that has access to a 120v plug, hot and cold water, and a drain). It also lets you close an opening to your home, increasing your home air-tightness. Also, something less that needs to be cleaned! 4) App and overall interface... it's very simple to use and the display/LED ring is pleasing to the eye (I love me some RGB). The notifications are a life saver. It will also tell you when the lint screen/filter needs to be cleaned, which is great because I'm notorious for forgetting. If you don't clean this, your clothes WILL NOT DRY! 5) Microban protection... It's a GE exclusive feature (as far as I know) and I'm very much looking forward to reduced mold growth and hopefully less cleaning, especially compared to my Samsung. 6) Build quality... This thing is a TANK. You can tell that it is well built and sturdy, with high quality parts. I hope that it lasts for many years to come! Cons (not really "bad" per-se, just things to be aware of): 1) Weight... Piggybacking off of it being a TANK, this machine is HEAVY. Like, H.E.A.V.Y. You WILL hurt yourself if you try to move this by yourself. I consider myself pretty strong but I can barely scoot this thing by myself. Good luck moving it post-install if you need to... 2) Drum size... So it's technically bigger than my previous washer @ 4 cu ft. 4.8 isn't small! BUT considering this is a dryer as well, it is a bit small. Clothes fluff up as they dry and ideally, in order to prevent wrinkles, you need extra space. A typical dryer is now 6 to 9 cu ft. BIG difference. This is mostly a non-issue for me, as I prefer to do smaller loads anyways. I never fill the drum up more than halfway unless it's a large blanket or towels. If you do either of those, expect cycles of over 2.5 to 3 hours. It WILL do it, just will take more time. I also use and recommend using the "More Dry" function. 3) Time it takes to complete a load... again, non-issue for me, but don't expect 2 hours on the dot for every load. It is DEFINITELY longer than a typical W&D set. But you also have to remember that you're saving a wild amount of energy, and you don't have to switch machines. The convenience factor greatly outweighs this in my personal opinion. Ideally, and if I could afford it, I'd have two of these. But honestly, only having one is fine for the majority of scenarios. 4) Price... yes, this is expensive, even compared to a top of the line W&D separate set. Sometimes you can get a decent price during a sale. However, the premium is justified in my opinion, especially to be at the cutting edge of tech. 5) Lack of color options... (a nitpick, I know). But it would be nice to have more options. This "Carbon Graphite" color works well for me, but may not for someone else. 6) Dryness... items come out 99% dry (typically when using sensor dry). Another non-issue for me, because once you pull them out and give them a shake, they're dry. No reason to use more energy! TL;DR: It's amazing and I'll never go back to a traditional system.

Very happy with "Alice"
Purchased to replace an LG washer/dryer that was around 15 years old. I specifically wanted something that used less overall less space and I was hoping to reduce my energy use since my old dryer was electric and did not always get things dry the first time Used in a 2 person household that has too many pets and gets clothing dirty doing farm chores. The machine has been great. I like that I can set it to run while I take care of other errands and come home to totally clean and dry clothing that does not need me to baby sit the machine. It washes and dries King Sized Sheets and it can also handle my King sized comforters if I fold them in quarters and then like an S before placing it in the machine by itself. I generally use the Eco Cool setting for all of my clothing and use the Towels for towels and jeans, and the bulky setting for bedding. My average load time is about 2 hours - 1 hour for wash, 1 hour for Dry. This might seem long, but when I had separate washer and dryer unit, the items could have to wait hours for me to come switch them over. So my overall time to have clean clothing is much reduced. I like the auto dispense for detergent. I have used persil at first, and just recently swapped to Method by adding 50 % water to the dispenser to water down the Method since it is ultra concentrated. I don't use fabric softener but I do use Lysol laundry sanitizer in the fabric softener dispenser set it the lowest amount and it works great. I clean the lint filter each wash, and the sponge filter probably ever 5-10 washes. The machine will remind you, but I find I clean it more often than the machine requests. I also use an attachment on my vacuum to clean out the lint cavity after removing the lint tray. I will say that has been my own annoyance with the machine, I feel that the lint filter still allows some lit to get through and onto the heatpump fins as well as lint seems to just hang out inside the cavity. I am thinking because of the moist air - it causes the lint to stick to the walls inside the cavity. I have a long tube for my vacuum I can use as well as an attachment that was made for cleaning under appliances and it works really well for getting into the lint cavity. My attached images show the attachment on the floor that I use, as well as a King Sized Microfiber Fleece Blanket for drum size example. I follow the instructions on the machine for when to run a drum clean. I have noted no smells or issues with the machine as far as "front load funk". I recommend the machine. I have not done a true test with a kil-o-watt type testing device, but I have noted that my electric bill has been reduced since owning this machine compared to my old washer and dryer. I also like that a dryer vent is not needed. I covered up the old hole to my dryer vent.

Convenient. Space saving. Long dry times
We’ve had this about two months now. Overall very happy with it. But if my five kids still lived with us, it wouldn’t be a good fit. The convenience of not having to switch laundry is awesome. But for someone like me, if you like to have a load washing while one is drying because of a large amount of laundry… not a good fit. The laundry does take several cycles to dry. But because it is heat pump it is still an energy saver. I like the notifications I get in my phone when it is done with the wash cycle so I can throw in a dryer sheet. It’s very quiet. Really cool looking. I like the automatic dispensers. Another con though is getting all the lint out of the inside where the lint trap is because I don’t have a skinny enough vacuum attachment. Other con is I can’t just throw a shirt in real quick to dewrinkle. The dewrinkle setting is a steam setting so the clothes get damp. Not good when in a hurry.
