Even washer/dryer video from you is great!

Here in the UK it's quite common to have a combo and again for the space saving the only down sidw to ours is that you can only fill the drum to a certain level then you can do a wash and dry, if you have loads of laundry to do it would take forever to do. Just my opinion washer dryers here are ideal for 1 person or a couple here, but that GE is so ideal here in the UK but again space is something we don't have and that machine looks massive

Uses the same electrical outlet that’s already there from the regular washer/dryers, 120 I think. And same with the water & drain. Just put a cover on the old dryer vent in your wall!

I'm looking for this tech to mature. Not because I want to save space. But because we are on a system where the cost of power varies depending on the time. Off peak is obviously the cheapest but we tend to be asleep during those times and no one wants to get up at midnight to change over the load from washer to dryer. I want to set it up on a timer to kick in at 11:pm and then wash _and_ dry the load without needing additional attention. We might even have, (dare I say it?) _two_ units and get _two_ loads done overnight. But by the time this comes around, I'll be retired, and with all the electric cars charging overnight, off peak rates will probably change anyway.

I had a washer/dryer we call them here in the uk they seem like something new over there and condenser dryers 🤷🏻‍♂️😂 It really wasn’t bad at all had a 9kg drum was big enough for a big double duvet but 5.5kg drying. It was really quiet everything come out really clean and a 1550rpm they were pretty much just damp by the time it finished spinning and that was before the dry cycle was a “hotpoint Aquarius washer dryer” . It was great till it developed a balancing problem and would take forever to spin unless it was basically overloaded weirdly lol. It was a bored fault so just gave it away still worked but Would take nearly 45 mins or not at all to spin a load so done my head in and it got replaced with a lg direct drive. But gt heat pump dryer which is amazing on electric ⚡️😃 If you live on your own like me or even with 1 child and 2 adults you can manage perfectly well with a 2in1 it’s so convenient having everything washed and dried in the same thing! Make sure you fast spin the highest setting was 1550rpm on mine or extra high spin dry 🌀 and everything will dry quickly use slow speeds it will take ages to dry especially anything below a 1000rpm. Do that and you will have no problems and save electricity and time 👍🏻🙂 I would not recommend this for a family of 4 or more as waiting for it to wash and dry say like on a hot cotton wash will take up to 3/4 hours to do it all. You do have quicker washes but I don’t use the quick or turbowash button on my whites or quite dirty clothes because they don’t come out clean. I only use quick options for darks and stuff that just needs freshening up.

The problem I see with washer dryer combos is that the majority of the stuff washed, can't go in a dryer. It has to be hung to dry. These machines would have to give you the chance to take certain things out before the dry cycle happens.

I still would prefer a traditional washer/dryer set, for the fact that you can only wash one load at a time with any washer/dryer combo. Even two hours is too much time for me.

Whether or not its good now this is the future
