That's a horrible idea. If 1 half breaks, you have to replace the whole thing.

That's true with most things. Car, tv, dishwasher...
Imagine being able to put a load of clothes in, and come back to them dry. No having to worry about transferring them to the dryer.
"have owned combination washer/dryers for over a decade, and the LG WM3988HWA is my third such machine. This is absolutely the best combo unit available. The capacity, cleaning performance, and ability to dry in the same drum without a dryer vent make this the ideal machine for me. The biggest complaint about combos is that they take a long time to dry and that half loads are recommended for good dry performance. The reason the drying takes longer is that ventless combos dry using a condensation process. By passing the hot drum air through a mist of cool water, the "steam" from the clothes is condensed into water and flushed out by the washer/dryer's water pump. The heavier the fabric, the longer it takes. A full load of cottons will wash and dry in 4.5 hours. A full load of synthetics and some light cottons will wash and dry in 3 hours. I love this machine. The steam feature, both during the wash cycle and as a way to freshen dry clothing, is something I use all the time. There are many other great features like a drum light, delay wash, the ability to customize cycles. Bottom line, this machine takes longer to do what separate machines do, but it requires no vent, just a standard electrical outlet, and everything gets washed and dried after you press start. I love the WM3988HWA, and if you're thinking about a combo, get this one; you'll love it too"

There's the top/bottom type. I have one of these and it's been great. A definite space saver. Probably not enough capacity for a big family.
And then there's the truly all in one type (see link in previous post). These are common in europe and big boats. They're very expensive.
I would consider worshiping the deity who could cause that to happen...Originally posted by: ironwing
I just throw the dirty clothes in the basket in the bathroom and they reappear in my closet...clean! :shocked:

Not at twice the cost. It's more like your car dies, and you replace the motorcycle too.
