Gods I wish I had the money right now. This thing is so insane and I want one.
I didn't even know this was a thing. It's actually not that expensive for both washer and dryer. Question is... how does it perform vs a LG washer/dryer combo
I doubt this has changed much in the last 6-7 years, if they couldn't do it before.
PS, this is with expensive washer/dryer combo too. So it's not a low quality item problem.
I highly suggest do a lot of research before committing. Otherwise, I'd love to get one so I can save expensive real estate in my home. I'd like to be more minimalist.
After I did my research on this yesterday I am glad I did.
There's pros and cons to this:
Pros:
1. 110v
2. No dryer port needed
3. Saves space (2 for 1)
4. Very efficient. Saves electricity
5. Don't need to transfer wash to dryer.
Cons:
1. Expensive
2. Unproven tech
3. Need to clean CONSTANTLY or drying performance will continue to deteriorate
4. Questionable reliability - if your machine breaks, you're out both washer & dryer
5. CR rating is 63 (GE) & 66 (LG) compared to the high 80's for LG's traditional washers
6. Drying is UNGODLY slow. Potentially double or triple times.
7. Cannot wash and dry at the same time, leading to potentially double laundry times
8. Questionable warranty support from GE
9. Constant, common complaints that clothes do not dry completely.
10. Clothes feel damp coming out of dryer (this is normal, per GE). Must shake and dry out each thing that comes out of dryer.
Overall: If you need 110v or don't have space for washer and dryer and don't mind the negatives, go for it. IMO the tech is just not there yet. Traditional washer & dryers from LG are still the best.
In my experience, living in Europe where they use these. It's total crap. I don't recommend it at all. The clothing always comes out damp instead of dry.

Also AFAIK these don't have water you dump. They require a drain and put the water from the washing and drying down that.
But yeah heat pump tech has improved a LOT in the past decade.

How is this w/d combo?
Does it work as good as a separate dryer and washer?

Thank you for the clarification!
But yeah, the GE reviews all looked good both the professional reviewers and the customer reviews.
Highly recommend.

He has some good insights, like pointing out serviceability with his teardowns, which is something an average user doesn't think about, but should consider.

IMO glad I bought my parents the traditional LG washer & dryer.

Only issues we had was hinges going bad due to user errors, such as people spilling bleach (tray was over the hinge side) and not leaving the door open after use, so we had to do more gasket/tub cleanings than we should have needed . They bit the dust after a flood, being submerged in a foot of water. For a residential unit being used how it was, I was extremely impressed with them.
