I've had a unit like this for the past 12 years. The big positive, is being able to put a load in to wash and dry before leaving for work (or going to sleep) and having it done by the time I'm back. The negative - it takes 3-5 hours for a load to go through wash and dry. I dont recall this ever being an issue for me, as we dont typically have anything that needs to be washed and dried quickly - but thats something to keep in mind when considering this machine

Do you have a unit with an actual heat pump? Lg and other brands have sold other models that don't use heat pumps. They use a cooling plate powered by water which causes it to take much longer to dry. I have one of those units as well, and i agree its not for everyone cause if you need something dried fast or just cleaned fast its just not going to happen. But the heat pump based units are much faster (wash and dry in 2-3 hours). Slightly slower than a traditional drier . But pretty darn close in my opinion and no need to move the close saves you some time as well(unless you need to take things out of the drier to air dry). The other big change that takes people a bit to get used to that all ventless units have is that they build up humidity in the machine. When you open it up once the cloths is done the cloths will almost feel a bit moist. This is just cause the air in the chamber is a bit humid. But it does confuse people the first time around.

Overall, all-in-one units are amazing in their convenience and efficiency, but they introduce some new quirks that you do need to get used to. I personally don't think i can ever go back to any other type of unit.

I have been using the GE Profile all in one for the last couple of months and it takes about 2 hours for a full load. These newer models use heat pumps to generate hot air. Older models of all in ones used a different technology. Check and see what yours is. May explain why it takes so long.

This is a different beast. This uses a heat pump. Go check the threads about the GE version that has been out since last spring. This can take less than 2 hours to wash and dry, of course depending on the load size. This is probably going to replace my current LG washer and dryer when they die. I have to go stacked to fit in my laundry room and that means my wife practically needs a step ladder to get to the controls on the dryer.

I was hoping Costco would have this unit in time for their recent November sale but they did not. Ended up choosing the nicer LG 5.0 Washtower for a couple hundy cheaper than this deal. Chose it over the GE Profile combo which was +$500 but that wasn't deciding factor. Can't tell you how often we need an emergency uniform or whatever wash and the washtower does a 15 minute cycle pretty good. And a load goes in every 30 minutes or so when pushing through a big pile.

Wouldn't mind having one of each eventually here, and I think this LG combo will be more in my price range come supersale time than the GE. But GE has a good 5 year warranty if you buy through them (if Costco not an option). Can't tell if the LG warranty is 1+1app+ buy 2 more years or it only 3 total or what. Anyways I would think a combo washer with AI etc would be the #1 item I would splurge for the ext warranty. And the energy savings are huge on these.

Also, have they addressed the lint issue better vs. their 4.5 combo? That seems to be where the GE shines with the dryer like pull out.

I'm still in the return period with the washtower, but honestly I don't know if I would want to return it for a single single combo. Looks like fast won over energy efficiency this time for me.

I got that LG 300 5.0 washtower (the one with auto dispenser) for same reasons you stated. Controls are in the middle. And I got it into a 35" wide by 42" closet. It's about 4 inches or so shorter than stacking units, which allowed me height wise room to put it on rollers. Which raises it up to more manageable level to change out washer loads

This is what the warranty covers:

Direct Drive Motor

10 Years



Drum

3 Years



Parts and Labor

1 Year



UPC

195174070161

So FWIW, you are right - the general warranty is for 1 year only. ThinQ app gives one more year if you sell your privacy and additional warranty is not cheap either - $160+taxes for 2years!

Tempted, hoping the GE goes back to $1700 again this year at Costco. LG repairability vs GE seems like a nightmare.
Is there a Lowe's outlet near you? I just bought 2 of the GE units for $1450 each there

Costco has standard 2 year warranty and optional 5 year warranty on all appliances including the GE Ultrafast. I know because I bought the GE from Costco last spring with the $150 option for 5 year warranty. No one beats Costco when they want to move appliances, no one period.

Disregarding the price, is the GE model superior to this LG model? Why?

The key is to have two which you already have room in a traditional home. That's 2 loads washed and ready overnight or while you're at work. Makes up for the long time it takes, but also no duct cleaning.

I have the slightly larger version of this model and it is farking incredible. Being able to put in clothes before bed and wake up to clean/dry/not wrinkled laundry is amazing. I'll never go back to two units. And it is ventless and you can plug it in anywhere. 10/10 would buy again. Plus cheaper to run. Win-win.

Can you do either a wash or a dry by itself without the other? I know what you're thinking. Why would you? Well, some clothes are washed but air dried. Or you are soaking wet from rain and you wanna dry your hoodie.
Yes you can. There are also nice sterilizing options for proper soiled clothes with boiling water and an option to keep it running occasionally so clothes don't wrinkle if you're going to be asleep and a steamer option to remove wrinkles if you don't wanna iron something.

What are going to do if you only have a dryer and no washer working.

Real question. Can you run two of these at the same time from the same 120v breaker?
