6 Months with GE One and Done Ventless Heat Pump Washer Dryer Benefits, Challenges, and Maintenance

We’ve had an LG all in one ventless washer/dryer combo for 10 years with zero issues (purchased from Lowe’s). It works on a condenser. Before that we had a similar model Haier for 10 years and had no problems with that one either (stayed with the house when we moved). We hang dry clothing and use the dryer for sheets and towels. The most important key to longevity is to make sure you’re running the clean cycle and checking the filter every 1-2 months. I will never go back to the traditional separate appliance system. Oh and we live in the woods with a dog and two cats and do an average of one load per day.

You might add a drain-pan so that when the accident happens again your heart-rate won't skyrocket due to the mess, even if you must elevate the machine to have a condenser-pump for the spills. Same solution for hot-water-heaters bursting. I like the idea of drying directly after washing. I have refused to upgrade to side loaders b/c of the mold that grows on the seal on the doors. My laundry room isn't spaced wide enough to keep the washer door open to keep the inside from developing mold. I still have a Kenmore 600 which you can only get now as a Whirlpool-commercial version sold as a residential washer. I even removed all the corrugated piping from my dryer to get the moist air outside. The Kenmore 600 or commercial Whirlpool (formally Maytag commercial) really rubs the dirt off clothes so it is great for grime, though it is a smaller washer & not a large new design.

thank you guys for a such a good review

Excellent video guys! GE came so close to a Homerun with this unit, but it does need the manufacture modifications in order to improve it regarding filtration.… I would give them at least a double for an excellent attempt

I love mine. Bought in Dec 23. There is just me with no pets. Since i did the filter mod, the coils remain clean. The guy that came up with the filter mod also shows how to do a deep cleaning with a sprayer. Sonce the unit os a sealed system, with the drain oppened all the water will flow out as you do the deep clean. If doing multiple loads, it is not really double the time of separate units. You only save the time of one drying cycle with separates. The ease of use is what i like. You just set it and forget it. When i had separates, i had to clean the dryer filter after ever load. So, there is no difference on filter cleaning. This is an amazing unit. The LG and Samsung appear to be good also. They include more cycle options but really do you need 32 cycles? All 3 have advantages and disadvantages. GE comes with a 5 year heat pump warranty, the others are 1 year. If you are looking for energy savings than a heat pump system is a great option.

I would like to say that We have been using ours with not problems, here I think the case is machine selection, this guys are HEAVY DUTTY and unfortunately not every body reads manual :( or do research before hand. I will encourage all house holds to get this COMBO if you can follow this parameters: 1- get it if you do laundry regularly, 2- get it if you want to lower your ENERGY bill 3- get it if you want to LOAD and forget about. Our experience has been magnificent. Do you have to change the way you do your laundry workflow? Answer is yes!!!   We have 2 of them it has been a deal changer; bought them when they were dirty cheap hahaha.... Wont change them for noting so far in this house hold no service call need it!!!!

I'm all about saving energy and in fact I'm a retired energy management designer / programmer, specializing in HVAC equipment. Thanks for making this video, it's very interesting and I can see that this machine must've set you back a fancy penny. I've spent a lifetime working with heat pumps - so my question is: where does the needed heat come from in the colder months? Are you feeling cold air blowing around the machine in the winter? A heat pump has heat on one end and cold on the other. When you calculate energy savings, if this machine is taking heat out of your home in the winter, that has to be taken into consideration too when calculating energy savings. Anyway, good luck with this machine. My advice though, is don't give up that 240 VAC receptacle, you may be opting to get your old machines back!

Great video were did you by the brush ?

How much does doing a load in a regular washer/dryer cost?

There's someone on YouTube that created a modification for the filter so no lint bypasses it and gets on the coils. Others have tried this mod and it seems to work. Have you tried to modify it?

"Whole bunch of cats". grease and oil residue are one thing. But tons of cat hair is another.
