matching set
I'd buy a brand new matching set if it was up to me. A nice front load washer and a matching dryer.

As said, if it's just about not venting and you have a 240V outlet, the LG WashTower in the heat pump version is a valid alternative.
Still have the possibilities of seperate units plus the larger drums.

"why would you buy 2 of these when you could just buy a nice set??
Here's one very good reason: Not having to deal with cleaning out a long dryer vent run that eventually gets clogged every 6 mos to a year"
True , My question as to why is based on a Full Size heat Pump Dryer if space for two units , no vent required !!

Maybe people are using them like DishDrawers: one machine to take clean clothes out of, the other one as a hamper for dirty ones. No need to sort when you can wash in cold water with auto-dosed liquid detergent.

I keep forgetting about the heat pump dryers...
Yes, that would be optimal...buy a regular FL washer and a heat pump dryer INSTEAD of buying 2 of these.. Personally, I love having a regular dryer..
I'm one of the RARE people that don't have to have a matching set..(I just need them to be the same color) don't get me wrong. I would prefer matching.. but for whatever reason it doesn't bother me... which is very strange because I'm usually OCD about things like that.

There is a tax credit/instant rebate of up to $850 on heat pump dryers coming. It is based on your income level. The tax credit is available now, most states, not FL, will roll our the rebate program later this year.

Additional GE combo review
Reply number 146, thanks for posting this Pete.
This poor guy has so many frustrations. He’s so upset that he spent this much money he really has no idea how machines work he’s just trying to make money online with videos.
Basically all condenser dryers leave clothes a little bit moist. This is actually good for the clothes rather than whining about it for 15 minutes. You should just fold and hang up his clothes and be happy.
For somebody doing a review like this he has no idea how things work, it’s easy to schedule a service call for this type of product although I don’t think there’s anything wrong with it. The little bit of lint removed did not make any difference in its performance.

Seeing their loads I am 90% sure that's just user error.
You just can't dry a 3cuft load in a 4.5cuft drum the same way you do in a 7+cuft dryer.
Keep in mind these are even less accurate in sensing as they have to use basically thermostatic auto dry with a very low temp system.
My partner ended up with a compact combo through some coincidences.
It can dry very well - if you keep in mind what you are drying and how much.
If you have basically 100% even thickness through out the load you can load more.
But especially on items like jeans, sweatshirts and the like with pockets and seams, you just HAVE to leave room for proper tumbling and airflow.
Combine that with heat pump dryed clothing tending to feel more moist you just will have people not understand the appliance they are using.

New GE heat pump combo review, reply, number 146
Hi Pete, thanks for posting, I actually watched the whole review. It’s a little bit painful the poor guy that did it. I’m sorry he’s acting career didn’t make it.
I think the main problem he’s having is he’s having buyers remorse about how much he paid for it and when you have space for a full-size washer and dryer, he was a fool to give up the Maytag dryer, he just got rid of a pair of machines that cost about $1700 to buy this machine and he thought it was gonna do everything. He should’ve kept the dryer to have when the occasionally want to do really large loads, or if they were in a hurry, rather than all the whining, he never mentioned how much water and electricity this new machine is saving either maybe he can’t figure that out.
The main problem he’s having with drying is the loads may be a little big but the machine is tangling the stuff, and this was my fear. You really can’t have a dryer with a slanted drum , it’s bad enough to have a washing machine with a slanted drum but you can untie things before they go in the dryer, but a combo I think is going to have problems with this. This may be the biggest flaw I’ve seen in this GE yet.
The little bit of lint that he pulled out of the lid, filter, housing, etc. was not causing a problem , but he feels good by cleaning it. You’re only supposed to clean the lint filter every two or three loads every time you remove the filter lint gets past the filter assembly it’s not necessary it’s also not necessary to tape and glue the filter halves together that’s not where the lint is getting into the blue condenser. Also, his pictures of the blue condenser never showed , any significant lint on the condenser there’s no problem with the machine.
He’s also completely confused by technology doesn’t seem to know how to schedule a warranty call understand how deliveries work, when he showing you how the tighten the locknuts on the front feet he’s turning them the wrong way, etc.

This is a new video - I wonder how the boot got twisted like that!

Boot twisted
Something like that was shown in another thread some time ago, and the only possible explanation seemed to be that something was caught between the boot and the glass door (user error) so that when the machine spun it caused that damage

Possibly something sharp, like a broken zip pull attached to a bulky item pierced the seal, or hooked through a drain hole in the seal and the seal ripped and twisted up rather than the item ripping.
A common problem with some early washer dryer designs was fastenings like buttons getting hooked in the air vent hole at the front, although that usually ripped the clothing.

Torn door boot on a front load washer
This can happen with any front load washer it’s definitely user air. They didn’t show what item was stuck in the boot probably a pair of jeans with a screwdriver in the pocket, lol.
The unfortunate thing is GE will end up paying for this user error this guy should be a whole lot, nicer with a whole house full of GE appliances. They might get tired of his bullshit pretty quickly Treating the service provider like that is not the way to get good service wait until that refrigerator starts breaking down.
I’m afraid Pete, this video is not worth posting except to show what assholes people can be in this world.

what combo52 said
I agree what combo52 said. Also as I have pointed out so many times, people just shove everything into a single without sorting whatsoever or even emptying their pockets. And then they blame the machine.

I think GE should have made or should make a brush to clean out the inside of that filter assembly and supply it with each unit!

Issue is that it's very easy to bend the fins of the heat exchanger - and once they are bend, they impede airflow even worse than some fluff.
While yes any lint build up on the evap isn't optimal, it takes a lot more than you'd think to have any major impact.
Keep in mind most lint is in the front half inch of the heat exchanger, the rest of it will be basically free of any lint.
