The French stove+dishwasher combi
A friend of mine moved to Paris 16 years ago and told me about his stove/oven/dishwasher combo that required water, electrical, drain AND a gas connection (due to the gas cooktop) all to the one appliance!!! He said it was a challenge (and a little scary) to get all connected and make sure it was leak free.

Wow! I'd forgotten about the Modern Maid Cook 'n' Clean, Nate.

Interesting...
I have to give to it LG and Samsung for inventions. They are really offereing exciting inventions that NO ONE else is topping. Perhaps it would be great if Whirlpool would come up with something different. They don't though.
Although everyone talks about the horror stories of the machines that LG and Samsung make, I truly think it is a very small margin in the scale of how MANY Machines they sell worldwide. In fact...my brother bought the original LG front load washer and dryer that was offerd at Best Buys back when. They love it. It has never let them down. Both the washer and dryer run like a champ. Everything original.

The lower one looks like a little pull out toidy for toddlers.
"Look what I made mommy!"
"Where?"
"In here."
"Vey's mir."

Tom, I think you've stumbled on a money-making idea: Make a pedestal drawer with a toddler's potty in it! The high-end version could have a flush-n-drain feature.

Diaper Pail / Potty Trainer
It can start out as a diaper pail. Drop the soiled diapers in, push the cycle button labeled #2, and come back to clean diapers.
Then, as the baby grows out of diapers, it can be used as a potty trainer. The heater can be used to warm the seat so it is more comfortable to potty train in the winter.
Afterwards, it can be moved to the kitchen and used as a salad spinner...

Great, Malcolm! Although...I might opt for 'potter's wheel' rather than salad spinner once the tyke is out of diapers, LOL.
While I don't see the mini washer being useful for me, I'm impressed with the front-loader sitting above it. Like the top-loading dispenser system and the controls on the door. The people I've steered to LG front-loaders the past couple of years really like them; and so far, no problems.
As mentioned earlier, these big LG models are too large to fit through the doorway to my laundry room. Were I in the market for a new front-loading pair, I'd probably opt for a higher-end Maytag. 4.5 cu. ft tub, great cycle and option flexibility, and it fits through all the doorways.[this post was last edited: 1/7/2015-08:58]

Malcolm do you think it will last long enough to carry out those three functions

Frigidaire's washer brochure used to depict various configurations (side by side, stacked, under counter, etc) for their washers. One option was two washers below, two dryers above. Obviously aimed at large families, but I think this kind of double configuration would be more useful than the LG, in particular because Frigidaires' machines were 27W x 27H x 36H. Parent company Electrolux's machines are taller, 38H, but still could be stacked. I think the double capacity issue was more relevant ten years ago, when 3.5 cu ft was "large".

Lid Open?
If you could get it to operate with the lid opened, it could double as one of them there fancy turlets that washes you up afterwards.
Doesn't Electrolux offer a wall mounted washer hanging over a toilet already?
I guess this isn't really ground breaking after all.

Am I the only one thinking that it has a one piece tub? I mean, like the Frigidaire TLs. At least, it rather looks like this.

One Piece?
You may be right. I really don't see that there is enough room for it to be all that complex.

Dispensers...
I will say that I do like the top loading dispensers.
Wish more manufacturers did that.
But I guess stacking is not an option with these.

Yeah, this LG mini-washer has an agi-tub.

The issues with "exploding washers"was limited. Not every model was faulty. I bought one set for my cousin,Kathy in Maryland back in 2011. She loves it so much that she bought another.pair for her summer home. I don't know where the misinformation originated but LGs track record in repairs is far better then Whirlpool,Kenmore, Speed Queen and GE. Easy to operate and quiet. Samsung not as dependable and service on Samsung is bad here. Not.one service company wants them as a regular. Reminds me of the hell I went through with Equator.
Speed Queen?
Well, I am the opinion that LG is quite good in terms of quality and that spin-sploding was an affair that happenend only under certain circumstances (keep in mind that the problem was not a pure manufacturer mistake and that the problem has been resolved and that the new linies of machines were improofed).
But saying they are better than SQ: No. Simply no. They are more rugged and have a longer planned live span.
They had and have their problems (belts and timers), but by far the average lifespan of SQ is longer than LG. (We see that LGs usually die after 6-10 years. And you had your good part of problems as well, laundromat.)

ACK! I checked into AW.org to turn my brain off while sipping my coffee before starting on this evening's 'to do' list. INSTEAD, I have hours of reading, all of which is so much more interesting than my chores....
Pedestal mini-washer??? Oh, hell no! My arthritis on top of an already bad back has made the Prime Directive in my new place to be that there is NO, as in ZERO, bending & stooping.... zilch, zip, nada, nic, niente, nichts...get the picture? Exceptions are limited to activities I can discuss only in the Dirty Laundry forum. Actually, what I want to know is if there are any PEDESTALS that can be stacked, so I can have a FL high enough for me to reach comfortably.
How does increasing washer capacity improve throughput? At least with old fashioned TL's dryers take longer than washers. My mom has a Kenmore series 80 with a gas dryer more than large enough to hold a full Kenmore load. During extended family gatherings (think winter clothing, towels, and baby clothes) I'd have the first load in the dryer, 3/4 done. The second load would be sitting in a basket, waiting for the dryer, and I'd be starting to load the Kenmore with a third!
No, thank you. My concern is drying capacity. I want LG's 4.3 cu. ft. washer/dryer combo, a separate dryer, and a heated drying rack. That's my realistic choice. My fantasy is a set of stacked Neptunes with a separate dryer. In both cases I'll have either a twin tub or that mini TL (w/1200 r.p.m. spin) ThomasOrtega posted a while back as back-up.
After seeing the Modern Maid Cook-'n-Clean, I want one. I'd rarely use the bottom oven anyway, so I'd gain a cabinet to store stuff I rarely use. But really, I'd prefer either a dishwasher installed like a wall oven or a counter-top model..... all to avoid non-recreational stooping.
Was Modern Maid affiliated with another brand? I've never heard of the company, but I swear I've seen a logo with the same font and symbol before.... Magic Chef, maybe?
Yes, someone here posted about a wall-mounted washer. I looked it up; several models were available. IIRC, they were aimed at the south American market. Anyone recall that?
