To add to this, the moisture sensor isn't some magic device that operates without maintenance.

If you use fabric softener (hint: you really shouldn't) the sensor can get coated in residue and impede its ability to detect moisture.

It's important to clean it regularly with isopropyl alcohol (no, rubbing alcohol is not the same thing). Let it evaporate fully before starting a load.

Testing if it's working properly can be done by running a load of already dry towels. If it runs like a full cycle, something is wrong.

It's also important that the washer and dryer are leveled properly for both the efficiency of the sensors and longevity of the dampeners.

One last tip: If your dryer requires a dryer hose, disconnecting it and blowing it out with an electric leaf blower should be part of the general maintenance. The lint trap doesn't block everything. On ventless dryers, there's also usually a moisture collector that has to get emptied.

It sounds to me like the comment complaining about 3 hour dry cycles either doesn't empty their lint trap and moisture collector after each load or they installed this poorly.

He's saying that it under-dries, not over-dries

Exactly, which means if you run an auto cycle on something that's already dry, the dryer should kick off sooner... thus confirming the sensor is picking up the fact that there's not enough moisture to keep running.

If it tries to run a full cycle, then the moisture sensor is not working properly.

However, this won't work on dryers which also have weight detection, where the reduction in weight from evaporation won't ever get triggered.

Ventless dryers still have vents.

What do you think the lint trap is?

They also have some type of condenser so that the humidity liquefies sooner. If you aren't performing the instructed maintenance on them, of course they aren't going to operate correctly and cycles will take longer.

You really should read up on how heat pump dryers work.

If they actually operated based on your assumptions, of course they would be a bad idea.

Had this one for about six months now and can never go back to a traditional vented dryer again. It's so much quieter and can be hooked up almost anywhere you can run a 240v. Only unexpected item was it requires a 240v and a 120v for the washer separately vs all in one cord like other AIO units on the market. Dry times are not as bad as anyone states as long as you regularly clean the lint trap, like any dryer. I'd say if it takes an hour to dry on a standard vented electric dryer, this unit takes about 90 minutes instead. Wash time is the same as other washers out there and this washer can be opened mid load. Clothes seem softer and feel like they'll last longer with far less exposure to such high heat. Downsides - many wash modes are hidden in the mobile app. Rinse only, spin only, tub clean, etc. Can all only be accessed via the app, which is a bit infuriating, but it's 2024 with smart everything. Outside that, no major complaints.

I didnt even realize this model came in ventless, but its good to know that it seems to have similar issues w/ other ventless designs in that they don't tend to dry as quickly

My mom just got this washer dryer combo. She is obsessed. She is thrilled with it. After 70 years with a vented dryer, she was worried. She finds the ventless heat pump to be awesome. There is a little water trap in the front that she feels she needs to drain 1x a mo. Maybe she will join the Slickdeals community and write a review. Mom?

I've had the vented version for about 3 years. It does washing and drying alright. The user interface is terrible. The "buttons" are awful, and the restrictions are asinine ( I can't change dryer temperature on any cycle, have to use timed dry). Give me some knobs please.

The app is a joke. Can't start either unit. It'll send you a notification when it's done though.

Great at what it does, but using it is awful.

$1200 for a Washer and Heat Pump Dryer set is a steal.
Nothing wrong with the vented dryers, but heat pump ventless is just more efficient and gentler on fabrics, and usually more expensive too. It's been available in EU and Asia for a long time.

If I wanted the least frills and most basic yet reliable electric dryer, what would y'all recommend? I don't need Bluetooth, an ice maker, or any fancy things. Get hot with a timer is all I need.

They dry just as well if you actually take the time to understand and maintain them.

Unfortunately, people just like to make blanket assumptions based on internet anecdotes.

Couple this with the fact that a lot of retailers partner with bad installers and it's a recipe for failure.

If you somehow managed to make it into adulthood without knowing you need to clean the lint trap after each load, you're already off to a really bad start. Clogged lint traps cause hundreds, if not thousands, of fires yearly.

Another thing they don't tell you is that fabric softener can leave a waxy residue on the lint trap, making your dry cycle even less effective. If you insist on using fabric softener, you should be soaking the trap in vinegar or diluted dish soap to break up this residue regularly.

It doesn't dump moisture into the room. Returning to liquid is pretty fast.
