GE Profile - UltraFast 4.8 Cu. Ft. High-Efficiency Smart Front Load Combo Electric Washer & Dryer with Ventless Heat Pump Technology - Carbon Graphite

Only had it for a few weeks and we love it. It’s quieter than others we have had. It’s works great, the app that works with the machine is easy to use. We are a little tech savvy so to some that aren’t it might take a little getting use to. I love the fact you just add a bunch of detergent, bleach, and fabric softener and use the app to set what you are washing and what to use. The dryer does good it could be better some items like my husband khaki dress pants come out wrinkly but they are dry, it’s really nice to be able to save space in the laundry room as well and have more storage

Our old dryer and washer machines broke about a month ago. Washer would leak and dryer has problems with power and venting to the outside. We were hesitant about looking for a new set of machines because of pricing. After all, you always get what you pay for. We found this machine while browsing and after researching and finding that it could use a standard outlet and didn't have to be vented outside, we loved it. The pros: -Quiet -Only uses 1 standard 3 prong outlet -Smart home compatible so I always know when it's done and I can tell Alexa to start it. -always leaves clothing and bedding dry and warm -super easy to keep filters clean Cons: -heavy, this unit weighs a lot so if you move it you need 2 people mostly for safety -drum size. This isn't really a con but I recommend always leaving room in the drum so the laundry can actually tumble. If you pack it full then you run the risk of some clothes still being a bit damp afterwards. All in all, you can't really go wrong with this unit. It has everything in one super easy package and it has a decent warranty in case of a failure. The machine even tells you if you haven't cleaned your filters by warning you on the touchscreen that the dryer filter needs to be emptied. It's practically dummy proof. 10/10 I highly recommend this machine.

Honestly, this thing is pretty stellar. I have some positives and some negatives, but the pros DEFINITELY outweigh the cons. Let me set some expectations... Pros: 1) First and foremost, this machine is CONVENIENT. Put dirty clothes in and clean clothes come out DRY?! Wild. My 10 year old Samsung W&D both completely failed within the span of a few days... I needed an excuse to buy this as I've been eyeing it ever since it's release. And here was my excuse! I was hoping for my current set to last until there was a single unit that could also fold, but I suppose this will suffice. Maybe in the next 25 years... 2) Efficiency! It is super energy efficient. It is a closed-loop heat pump system only needing a 120v outlet. Maximum wattage usage is about 550-600w, which is REMARKABLY low, especially compared to a standard electric set. So expect typical cycle usage of about 1.5kWh-ish. 3) No vent! It's an underrated feature, but it gives you the ability to truly put this anywhere (that has access to a 120v plug, hot and cold water, and a drain). It also lets you close an opening to your home, increasing your home air-tightness. Also, something less that needs to be cleaned! 4) App and overall interface... it's very simple to use and the display/LED ring is pleasing to the eye (I love me some RGB). The notifications are a life saver. It will also tell you when the lint screen/filter needs to be cleaned, which is great because I'm notorious for forgetting. If you don't clean this, your clothes WILL NOT DRY! 5) Microban protection... It's a GE exclusive feature (as far as I know) and I'm very much looking forward to reduced mold growth and hopefully less cleaning, especially compared to my Samsung. 6) Build quality... This thing is a TANK. You can tell that it is well built and sturdy, with high quality parts. I hope that it lasts for many years to come! Cons (not really "bad" per-se, just things to be aware of): 1) Weight... Piggybacking off of it being a TANK, this machine is HEAVY. Like, H.E.A.V.Y. You WILL hurt yourself if you try to move this by yourself. I consider myself pretty strong but I can barely scoot this thing by myself. Good luck moving it post-install if you need to... 2) Drum size... So it's technically bigger than my previous washer @ 4 cu ft. 4.8 isn't small! BUT considering this is a dryer as well, it is a bit small. Clothes fluff up as they dry and ideally, in order to prevent wrinkles, you need extra space. A typical dryer is now 6 to 9 cu ft. BIG difference. This is mostly a non-issue for me, as I prefer to do smaller loads anyways. I never fill the drum up more than halfway unless it's a large blanket or towels. If you do either of those, expect cycles of over 2.5 to 3 hours. It WILL do it, just will take more time. I also use and recommend using the "More Dry" function. 3) Time it takes to complete a load... again, non-issue for me, but don't expect 2 hours on the dot for every load. It is DEFINITELY longer than a typical W&D set. But you also have to remember that you're saving a wild amount of energy, and you don't have to switch machines. The convenience factor greatly outweighs this in my personal opinion. Ideally, and if I could afford it, I'd have two of these. But honestly, only having one is fine for the majority of scenarios. 4) Price... yes, this is expensive, even compared to a top of the line W&D separate set. Sometimes you can get a decent price during a sale. However, the premium is justified in my opinion, especially to be at the cutting edge of tech. 5) Lack of color options... (a nitpick, I know). But it would be nice to have more options. This "Carbon Graphite" color works well for me, but may not for someone else. 6) Dryness... items come out 99% dry (typically when using sensor dry). Another non-issue for me, because once you pull them out and give them a shake, they're dry. No reason to use more energy! TL;DR: It's amazing and I'll never go back to a traditional system.
