It would behoove you to get in the habit of cleaning out the lint filter after every dry cycle is complete. I fix appliances and that is one of the most common reasons for a service call. Great review and love the channel!

Technology has sure come a long way, love the fact that you take time out of your day in order to review certain utilities. Thanks for the review!

[natec]

Thanks for the review. I have to say I’ve been waiting for this one since I’m solar as well and wouldn’t mind not going to the laundromat.

15 years ago, I had a similar, but much smaller unit in my apartment.

Same deal.

But I had to connect the unit to the faucet each time. That’s how it got water in and out.

It would heat the water to steam, collect it, then condense it back to water to remove via the spout.

Full load took like 5 or 6 years.

But it worked for me. Do a load before work or bed and it was done when you’re done.

Grandma had combo in the 60s . A load took just over an hour. Usually we hung out on a line for smell & softness.
For me & dad 2 machines work fine

Thankyou I've been very curious about these. Both of you explained all questions I had. Much love and happiness to all of you.❤

Nate answered the question I had right at the end of the video - you do a fantastic job at covering as many questions that people may have that you can.

Well done Nate & Jen

[KingsmanPlumbing]

Thanks Nate and Jen for the review! I’ve been having customers ask about these units and this will definitely help to get them to a place of making informed decisions.

Worked with a GE engineer when washers/dryers/stoves sold to Chinese company. The first thing they did was determine how many extra screws were used in the construction. He was asked why the washing machine tub was made of thicker metal. His answer was "so that it would last". The tubs were made thinner. Current GE appliances are not made by GE, they sold a lot when their finance arm went belly up. The problem with current GE appliances is that they have a design life of 5-7 years. That way you have to buy more over time.

This is the model I was looking at for my apartment, Thank you kindly!

[NoahSilvas-bs]

This is the best review I’ve ever seen 👍

[Liz_]

Great for a small apartment. Thanks for telling us how it works!

[ashleybarney]

Thanks for this! I have been looking at this unit for a few weeks now. I do at least a load every day, not a set laundry day, so that part would not bother me.

[HypatiaK]

I have the exact same model, & I love it. Clean the lint out every time you load it for more efficient drying. I use a lint brush, which collects it up in a wad. Lots of pet hair in there. Also, lint will accumulate in the big door gasket. Just run your finger around inside the big groove occasionally to get the bits out. I was so happy to get rid of the big vent tube which kept coming loose all the time. I live by myself, so I do a load of wash every 3 days or so. I think your animals are delightful, and so well behaved. You’ve done a good job with them.

One of the interesting caveats of a washer/dryer combo is that you can wash more than you can dry is where it can get you in trouble with long drying times. Conventional separate washer dryer setup is that the dryer drum is larger than the washer due to the much needed space to fluff up the clothes as it dries.

On my combo unit, I can wash between 2 to 15 lbs of clothing, but only 2 to 10 in combo mode. So, I just got in a habit to weigh out my clothes so I can stay within the recommended limits and it works perfectly fine. I normally line dry my clothes, but the dryer feature is great for those humid and wet days.

Don't forget to check and clean the pump filter at least once a month to make sure no coins, miscellaneous hardware, etc. will eventually make its way there and clogging it.

We have a washer/dryer combo very similar to that in our 5th wheel. We didn't like it at first when it was not vented. It took hours and hours to dry. But the We vented it and it is a night and day difference. Venting it literally took like 3 hours off dry time.
We experienced that super wrinkly problem. Found a 6 pack of wool washer/dryer balls. Took that problem away.

I like your reviews Nate. I think you are very truthful with them.

[WhatDadIsUpTo]

That's pretty snazy. I wear the same outfit every day (tee shirt, jeans) and have 7 changes. I bought a $100 useded automatic clothes washer back in the day and dry on a clothes line. Been doin that for nearly 14 years now. Works like a champ. Pittance well spent. 😂

BTW - I homestead alone, so there's nobody to complain about not having a lot of on-grid niceties. Just got one person to please, me.

I’ve seen bicycle driven washers that have plans online. At one point, just for fun, I decided to try and design a dog powered washer. That worked out pretty well. Then I moved. 😊 I happen to like hanging laundry, so I didn’t mess with that part. I guess that’s my kink. 😂

[ChemicalCrash]

I love mine! Just remember to clean the drain filter at the bottom of the unit roughly every 1-2 months or when the unit prompts you. 👍

When I was a young, I helped my grandmother do her laundry. You had to put your own hot/cold water in using a thing that hooked on to the bathtub faucet and in a big open drum with no lid it would wash. My job was to catch the clothes after she had run them through a powered mangle and put them in a basket on the floor. (There was the possibility of getting your fingers pinched between the two rollers) it was possible to crack buttons into bits between those rollers.😊
