Vented Combo

[brasilianguy]

I don't know if i should create this thread in the old or newer appliances, but, the question is that i want to know if there is or there was a vented washer/dryer combo.... i think that i've already heard something about, but never seem one! does anyone have pics or videos here??

in my opinion, if it had a vented gas washer/dryer today would be the most perfect machine.... the confort to put the clothes dirt and dry and take them out clean and dry too, the economy of gas and the fast drying of a vented dryer....... condensor dryer takes too long to dry...

what do you think about??

hugs from Brazil friends.....

I have an early '60's Philco/Bendix Combo that is vented. (Gas)

Equator

There has been some discussion of them here before. (US)

I did a plan for a friends super-small condo kitchen, and I remember that at the time the Equator combo was offered in both condensing and vented versions.

The Lady Kenmore Gas washer dryer combination

In 1963,we went to Sears for a new washing machine and left becoming the proud owners of a new 1964 Sears
lady Kenmore gas washer dryer combination.It was delivered and installed on November 22,1963.Just around 15 minutes before the news came on unscheduled to give the world the news of John F. Kennedy's asassination.all of us were in shock,tears of shock,dissbelief and fear.Instead of being a surprize birthday party my Aunt Sherry had whipped up for me(my 7th birthday was the next day)a real nice angel food cake and Mom had bought me a cotton candy maker for my birthday,my grandmother,Mado,had gotten me a toy Wolverine waser-dryer.It was pink and I still have one identical to it.

we along with the installers had all our eyes glued to the tube.Dad gatherd up all of our kids and the ones who came to the party and drove us to the roller skating rink to get out of the way of the installers.By the time we got back,my Mado had done all the wash.I,myself was so pissed off not getting to see our gas vented combo operate on it's maden wash that I went out in the back yard taking the hose and getting mud all over my Thanksgiving outfit.Dad was furious as Mado took off my clothes and made a full load to wash.I hurridly took a shower and went into the kitchen,grabbed a foot stool and sat right in front of our "Lady" and watched in amazement as it washed,rinsed 3 times ,spun making a cool whistling noise,then drying.I lked its performance and we had it in use until around '82 or '83 when my Dad's new wife,Betty hated it because she used no other detergent than Wisk liquid,which at the time was a severe high sudzer.it was replaced with a cheap Whirlpool smaller capacity (not super)washer with the recirculating magicMix filter.

Great story, Laundromat. Thanks.

I have a Splendide combo in my camper that is vented, but it is not gas. It is made in Italy, but I do not know by whom.

It is 7years old and has been a great machine except that within the first month, the electronic mother board went bad and had to be replaced. Since then, we have had no problem.
