GE - 2.4 Cu. Ft. Front Load Washer and Electric Dryer Combo with Steam - White On White

About one month daily use. Expectation is the key; this is not the same as separate units and is providing a solution for niche problems of small space and no vent. This unit looses a star for quality of controls. It was not cheap and to use a little sturdier switch assembly and knob unit would be expected and couldn't add much to the cost. This fit into our front compartment closet in our Cyclone 5th wheel but took a lot of patience and muscle aches. When they say 23.5 inches they mean 23.5-23.8 so make sure you have a solid 24 inches of clearance. Cycles flawlessly through wash and dry if you keep the loads reasonably sized. Basically we got rid of the hamper and clothes that come of they go right in and when about half full, which is every morning, we turn it on. It helps to remove clothes immediately after the dry cycle is complete and lay them out for finishing. The will feel damp but are not wet and will not dampen your bed if you lay them out. We do not use most of the features and have found that light and normal wash do just fine for our needs. Level adjustment is key as it will shake if not perfectly level and the load is not too big. We still get a lot of movement but to be fair it is not in the most stable position in our RV which will move a little anyways. Fairly quiet and would not wake a sleeping child or adult in another room. It does generate some heat so even though there is no direct vent, having a well ventilated room is advised. We also added an additional dehumidifier to the room to help control the moisture. With no real lint removal you will find lint both on the clothes as well as left in the machine. It is much less than you would find in a vented dryer which leads me to believe this is less damaging to the clothing but that is anecdotal. You will want to give clothing a quick look over before wearing for left over laundry bunnies as well as wiping out the drum and rubber grommet after every wash. We still take the quilts and other larger items to the fluff and fold but that is a small price to pay to avoid the coin-op laundry.

It's solid overall. The dry function requires you to put less in the load than you'd think for everything to dry normally. The downside is that if you don't take the clothes out soon after the machine is done, the clothes get wrinkled quickly.

Replaced a 13 year old LG with identical specs. Quieter, dryer works better, much faster end to end, more consistent results, controls work the same, but include a touch panel with more options than a day trader. For me alone, it has sufficient capacity for me to use ever other day. Installation went without a hitch, and on a holiday!

This little guy works really well. Quieter than other machines, though the sound of draining can be a little noisy if you hear it in the middle of the night. It doesn't take up a lot of space and I love having the convenience of not having to move the washed clothes into the dryer since it will do it all at once. Easy to change the settings as well if I want to only wash or only dry. The only real downsides for me is that it's a vent-less dryer and takes about twice the time to dry, and also that it leaves a bit of a funny smell on the clothes when dried in the machine. I'm not sure if it's because it's vent-less or because I'm not using a dryer sheet. Also, it won't dry all the way if it's too full, so make sure you don't fill it past 2/3 of the way. I've had it for about a month or so now and I'm pretty happy with my purchase despite these drawbacks.

I really wish these units had a "wrinkle guard" cycle after drying. But none of them do so it must be the nature if the drying method. It says 2.4 cubic feet, but you can only fill it 2/3 full to have it work properly. I read in one review where you could delay drying, but I have only figured out how to delay washing start. Otherwise, it works well and I am not dissatisfied, but I don't LOVE it like I had hoped to.

I use this washer the way I would have used any other front loader. At first I was concerned that it wouldn't hold all my quilts/comforters. It will take a Queen sized comforter, so long as it's lightweight. It will take both my queen sized quilt and king sized quilt with no problems. I buy big heavy bath towels but it works for two of them plus wash clothes. I love this little machine. Unless something is really dirty, I use the quick wash, 36 minutes and done.

Rolled the dice on getting this for my small apartment after 3 years of not having a washer or dryer. Have trusted the GE brand despite it being new and having no reviews. The fact this both washed and dried, as well as ran off a 110 plug, 20 amps, and was electric and ventless seemed like a home run. Waited 2 weeks for it to come and couldn't contain our excitement and anticipation. Installed the day it came, followed all instructions, removed shipping bolts, hooked it up and leveled it perfectly. Ran the first cycle with just a few towels and a couple shirts and the problems started. Washed and tumbled just fine, but during spin cycle, my whole apartment started vibrating. Clocks and pictures on our walls rooms over were shaking. It was so loud that we knew in our guts immediately this wouldn't be a keeper and our own washer/dryer dreams were gone. It wasn't unbalanced, it is just far too forceful. The force that this spin cycle puts out on this washer is far too much for being a small little unit 1/3 the size of a full-sized normal machine. Massive design flaw. We suffered through 10 minutes of spin cycle noise and it started drying. Drying was quiet enough and would extract the moisture from the clothes and pump out the water. After a 2 hour dry cycle, it finally finished. When we pulled the clothes out, they were still moist. I knew the idea of having no vent for a dryer was too good to be true. We hung the towels and shirts on a drying rack and they took a couple hours to become fully dry. Really bummed this didn't work out, especially being a big purchase (not cheap at all) that my wife and I had saved for as our combined birthday(s) and anniversary present! Seems well built and doesn't look cheap, but there are too many cons that outweigh the pros. Sure it washes fine and clothes smell and look clean, but the spin cycle force and noise is unbearable and the dryer doesn't dry the clothes. Within 24 hours of delivery, it is already packed up and ready to be sent back. Now I need to go get my wife a belated birthday gift...

So far so good. I had an all in one before and this one works better. Be aware it does take about 2 hours to dry as it is ventless
