Maybe 3 more years I'll pick one up. These combos gotten a lot better.

I love my machine. I keep it very clean by emptying the lint and wiping out any excess water after each load. She's running like a dream and super efficient. I do however always include the "More Dry" function.

So This unit uses a 3rd of the energy as a reg. washer and dry set dose, which is good. If you want to spend less with the power company, but it take a longer to do one load. Standard set up is 1.5 to 2 loads in the same time as 1 load your set up.

The fact that you can run loads overnight with this essentially invalidates any speed gains that you might make with a standard setup. With this you could do one load in the evening and then put one in before you go to bed, with no time spent swapping loads between the machines. On paper the manual setup is faster, but in practice the automatic wash-dry switch offers a huge advantage in your time management since you don't need to be awake or around to move the loads. This machine is basically the definition of "work smarter not harder"

I’ve had mine for a few weeks. Love it so far. My only concern is durability but time will tell.

If his duvet cover took four hours it could be because the vent for his gas dryer was very restricted so a ventless dryer would provide him with a huge advantage.

Just a heads up you are not supposed to use downy unstoppable in this type of unit or any fabric softener because the unit itself gets hot it crusts the chemicals extremely quick.

Respectfully I think there must have been something wrong with your dryer. As an Eastern European we have real duvets I mean like real feather, thick and heavy duvets that my parents bought in Europe. Never have they taken more than 2 hours to dry in a gas dryer. We also didn’t have any name brand dryers just some hot point dryer

I'm excited I'm getting one 🎉🎉❤❤

I am going to try to wait it out and see what the user reviews a few years out are like (You hear that GE, there's going to have to be some durability and longevity if you want me to spend the money) I was leaning towards an inverter washer but if users remain pleased this may get the nod.

Here's a review for you you. It worked great for three weeks. Now we have to hang our clothes out to dry or go to the laundromat. GE sent out a tech that had never seen one of these machines. He had to call the manufacturer to find out how to work on it. Then his dispatcher said they come back out in a month. It is junk.

first time I see such a washing machine 😮

Best investment ever Just set it and forget it Plus the app tells you when it’s done Comes out really dry Only one problem I had We had a freeze and the clothes weren’t drying I’m guessing it was because it works off steam with the heat pump and doesn’t have a heating element At least I think that was the problem Other than that best appliance ever😂 Oh yea a complete cycle for me is about 1hr 45 clothes come out fresh 😂
