GE is making combos again

[sudsmaster]

And here's a link to the use and care manual for the 850 GE Ultrafreshvent washer with the "1 Step" function:

Hi Everyone ...
I have the GE washer with the 1-step feature. It works well for a small load. Wash cycle finishes, the drum continues to tumble, and the vent fan turns on. The load is tumbled for 8 hours. A couple of shirts, shorts, pants ... that kind of thing. Have not tried it with anything larger than the described load.
The washer and dryer set work well.

Careful now,

I don't think that was a fair comment toward John. At all.

John is not inclined to sugar-coat his opinions or criticisms of mistakes one makes.

Irrelevant, he's knowledgeable and one of the three most competent people around here.

So, back off.

So what is the best 110v vented combo?

Hi guys.........Please help. I was going to post a new subject and have been reading these posts. What is the best vented/unvented combo? I live in a small mobile home with the correct connections (water and vent) but need a 110 volt unit. Looking at Splendide or Equator. Whirlpool and GE are way over my price range.Thanks

IMHO a compact LG washer/dryer combo would be a better choice than a Splendide or an Equator.

I had an Equator 3600e (IIRC) from 2001. Aside from having to remove the fan housing and clean it out, it performed brilliantly. HOWEVER, I am literally the only person I know who had an Equator and never had any problems. Wait, no. I think Combo52 has encountered one or two satisfied customers. For some reason there seemed to be a lot of user error with those machines. They also had all sorts of quality control problems. Many premature failures of components. etc....

120 Volt Combination W-D

The best one I can find is the LG WM3998HBA, it is a full sized 27" 4.5 CF machine, it uses cold water to cool itself during drying so no venting is needed.

 

It is too bad that a 240 volt [ or gas vented ] model is not being sold at this time as drying speed would be much faster, But this is still by far the best combo available to us now, the others are simply too small to dry all but tiny loads of clothing unless you like ironing.

I too had an Equator and kept the fan clean. It did a good job.
