I know washer/dryers were not as popular with you guys over the pond. But does anyone have one of these ?

Easy was

a Western NY state company, maybe Amsterdam NY.

Whirlpool and Kenmore combo's were quite popular in the 1950's and 60's with large families or in smaller laundry rooms with little extra space for a dryer.
They were very hefty heavy units that worked rather well. It didn't take more than an hour to wash and dry a load.
I saw homes in my youth which had two of them for a family of ten children.

Yes, the Easy Combo in the ad showed up several years ago. I don't recall if anyone picked it up from the OP:

John L found a later Easy Combo, that ended up being in amazing condition:
