Samsung vs GE Profile vs LG: Which Washer & Dryer Combo

You guys didn’t say which is the best

You guys were more right talking about the unknown and probably crummy reliability as a reason not to buy one vs the "a lot of laundry" argument. The two families I know that have 4+ kids that have the GE one no longer do multiple loads every couple days, what they do is throw all the laundry for the day in there and run it overnight so it's dry in the morning almost every day. If they need to do bedding or something they throw that in in the morning and unload it at night. They also both replaced the washer and kept their old dryer for now so they can run it old school style with just the wash happening in the all in one if needed. I think, if the reliability looks ok and the prices come down they will eventually replace the dryer with a second unit or get a heat pump dryer instead for that spot to maintain emergency throughput capability. I'll believe reliability when I see it though, it looks like a ticking time bomb to me (which is sad because otherwise I love the idea and would totally buy one once my 10 year old samsung set does what a 10 year old samsung set does and eats it).

GE is Dam hard to get the lint out of, U Will Never get all of the lint out, on GE in 1 machine,
u might get 1/2 of the lint out.

These have been around for a long time. In 1955 my large family bought a Bendix Duo-Matic combo washer dryer. It was a solid performer, it ran constantly, but would bake the clothes dry. In the 70s I had a GE Combo, and it was solid, but would bake the clothes dry. I owned an Equator combo that was small, but competent. The Latest is an LG combo, and it works extremely well. It's my first condenser dryer combo, but I'm proactive on keeping it clean. It does a great job of drying without wrinkling the clothes. (You must use ultra fabric softener.) The deal is, I'm single, so my demands are low.

None of them are the best wait a year or two for new model's that fix the issues and longevity that all these units have.

wife & i are considering the samsung bc it just makes sense as renters & is easier to move/worry about one machine. but hard not to consider the old school cheap white ones that u can get wherever/forever, in terms of longevity & cost

Just an update on the ‘All In One’ washer/dryer combo. We purchased the GE Ultrafast with a riser and it was delivered June 06, 2024. I have been putting it through its paces to see of any problems and happy to say ‘it works’.
This is our first ‘Front Load’ washer/dryer and it seems to have a real vibration when doing a high speed spin during the load sensing and spinning water out of the clothes. I am thinking it is a balance issue even though my level shows its level. However, GE is sending out a technician this coming week (June 25th) to check it out and troubleshoot. The customer service agent said she was not a technician, however thought it shouldn’t be vibrating so much. We shall see what the technician determines with an easy fix if there is a problem.
Now back to the Ultrafast, it works very well thus far and give the clothes a ‘snap’ to take out the humidity after drying, it does work. The only time I have had to do some more dry on a few items, is when I had some towels with regular clothes. Thus the sensor may not have misjudged due to the different types of material, otherwise when towels are a separate load they come out dry when done ‘do the snap’. I have not had anything go much longer than 2 hours 10 minutes, most have been much shorter. The sensing does adjust the time during the cycle’s.
Lint issue: There has been a bit of lint buildup in the far back of the filter, just a small amount getting past the lint filter. I have thus far not seen any lint on the condenser coils of the heat pump. So this is very good thus far, however I am considering putting the foam seal I have seen on other video’s on the back of the filter to keep the buildup down, but then my lint tool has been able to clean it out thus far.
My current thoughts on the topic and best to all!

I have something to add: If your one of those idiots who’s going to complain “like omg 5 hours is way too long to have my 75 pound down feathef comforter WASHED AND DRIED” don’t buy this. What’s wrong with 5 hours to wash a massive comforter? 50 years ago that took my grandmother 24-48 hours and it dried outside. 2 hours sounds wonderful until you run a bacteria black light over it and inside it then one day get lung cancer and just cannot figure out why?? Let’s say one miraculous day a machine can do it in 2 hours flawlessly clean and dry, you know damn well you’ll be asking for the next machine next year to do it in 30 minutes. Genius level engineers who understand the limits of physics in the universe HATE PEOPLE LIKE THIS!!! They truely have no idea how good they have it and are CONSTANTLY asking for more more more. Regarding comforters, there will always be a day of the month your gone 5 hours to work or do errands which is plenty of time for this machine to run a 5 hour cycle, with everything done and ready when you arrive back home with no need to move it over to a 2nd machine for a 2nd cycle, sitting wet waiting till you get back to start the dry cycle, it’s just done. Maybe the reason the other two all in one machines cannot get a comforter dry is because the engineers are listening to whinny clueless idiots who fell like it should do it in 2 hours, and they caved in and wrote software for the machine. It’s nice to see Samsung NOT giving into an idiots demands. 5 hours is nothing to have a comforter WASHED AND DRIED! WITH ONE MACHINE. How often do you wash a comforter?? If it took 5 hours to wash a towel or my shorts then I’d see a problem with 5 hours. If you want this technology to succeed like I do, you gotta put these stupid soccer moms in Thier place about washing king sized comforters. I’d honestly be worried if a machine told me it could perfectly wash AND dry that large of a load in less than 2 hours without using 1000 degree heat.

Being able to grow a load in when I start my day and have it washed and dried when I get home is wonderful. I do at least four loads a week and to be able to do it during the week and not have to over the weekend, freeing up time to do fun stuff is lovely. They will become the norm, we are just behind the rest of the world. I also know multiple large families that are using one of these and they love it. Its super easy to just make a change, do a load in the morning put it away when you get home and then do a load at night and put it away in the morning – you could do fourteen loads a week without rushing (and no nasty mildew results because you got distracted and forgot to transfer the load).

If you aren't removing the lint after every load on a regular dryer you should be using a fluff and fold service because you are just killing your regular dryer and risking fire due to build up in the venting -its basic required maintenance. I just don't get the people who are incapable of doing the regular maintenance on their equipment and then are shocked when they get a new unit and they have to do the maintenance to keep it running (which is in the manual).

I have the LG Combo washer and dryer . Just bought for $1k at Best Buy outlet. Works great if you have lazy teenagers that forget to take out load after washing than gets smelly. They can set it walk away & have a fresh dry load after 3 hours.

If you like to wash quick like a crackhead you also have that option. Quick wash is 20 min. Then you can set to dry for 30-40 minutes.

Please explain the issue with lint in a combo.

Conserning the more time it takes:
1) How many times you forget or are not available to put the washed cloths on the dryer?
2) With two machines, laundry is mainly done during WE. With that kind of machine, you can spread that nore dutring the week, because it does all the job and it doesn't matter if you leave it for a long time after it's done (unlike with a wasing machine).

These things have been on the market for decades! They are very problematic! Just talked to an appliance repair man he advised me to stay away from them! Unless you live in a tiny house or efficiency apartment stay away! Junk!

I really needed this in depth comparison

So which is best?

They need an auto lint catcher disposer next

Removing lint every time….is not a big deal… JUST like removing lint in dryer before use (unless people are lazy as F)

To me it is more sanitary as the machine literally washes itself before each dry cycle. Dryers never self clean (besides the heat).

@YaleAppliance1 If you were purchasing one, would it be the GE or LG? In the video, I thought you were leaning toward GE but mentioned the LG is typically more reliable.

If you install one of these in the bathroom, would the steam from the shower compromise the electronics? Possibly do the circuit boards have conformation coating on them.
