We have the Bosch. It's a little pricey but the dryer does an awesome job drying. It comes in white, black, and stainless, I think.

Check out the reviews on Amazon for all-in-one washer/dryers.

Bear in mind that unless you have a 220 outlet for your dryer - even the new ones just can't put out the heat necessary to make heavy items like jeans and towels dry thouroughly unless you run it forever.

Do they MAKE a good one? We had one in a condo we rented and we had to dry everything for like 2 1/2 hours for it to get dry, and our clothes always came out smelling very strange.

Without 220 voltage, no dryer will cut it. I had one, the dryer part ceased to function, I hung the clothes to dry. When the entire machine failed, I replaced it with a washer-only unit. I suggest you do the same.

I have an LG one, and I like it. It takes up a fraction of the space of my old stackable unit.

The wash/dry cycles are long (2 1/2 to 3 hours), but the unit has a delay option which makes it easy to just throw a load in at night and time it to be done when I wake up.

Drying can be an issue. I often have to hang up jeans, towels, and other heavier items to dry for a bit beyond the cycle, but they come out so warm that they dry pretty quickly. Lighter weight items are fine.

Overall, I like it a lot better than my old unit, even though I have to plan around a few of its quirks.

I had a siemens ventless dryer in my previous apt. Did as good a job as the big, regular dryer now in my current apartment...

I love my LG! The key is making sure you don't put too many clothes in at once, and sending it through an extra spin cycle.

i also have an lg unit. it's my first ever washer/dryer combo (came with my rental) and i hate it. not sure if it's an issue with this model or with all ventless units, but the drying time is unbearable. it's quicker to air dry my towels than to attempt it in the unit. i agree with jen...you definitely have to plan out your laundry with this mashine.

i heart the LG unit (WM3988HWA) we purchased two years ago. my wife and i are super happy with the delay feature and have simply adjusted our lifestyle to accommodate it's simple needs; an extra few minutes of dry time on a heavy or overloaded batch. it runs off a normal outlet and requires no vent. i ran a drain to our bedroom closet and Bam, laundry off the floor in the morning and good and clean by the time we get home.

I have the Bosch axis, it dries pretty well

I'd recommend Bosch axxis as well. Near the end of the dry cycle I do notice an odor that does make me a tiny bit wheezy, but I assume this would be the case with any ventless dryer. We have to use the extra dry setting to get the clothes completely dry, which does take longer than you might expect. Otherwise, no complaints.

If your washer's final rinse cycle can be programmed with a high velocity spin, that extra speed can go a long way toward wringing more water out of your clothes. The result can be substantially improved dryer performance. I don't have the condensation dryer but I do have a 110 volt dryer with good though limited drying capabilities. The high-speed spin setting on my washer significantly improved my dryer's performance.

I also have a Bosch axis washer and dryer. They are pricey, but one of the best purchases we have made.

The 110 volt dryer will always be slower than a 220 volt. If you have room you could go with a stack 110 volt washer with a 220 volt Ventless dryer. I think Bosch offers a set or Thor offers a washer
dryer combo
with a ventless dryer.

I have a recent LG. They are generally regarded as the best all in ones.

But it doesn't dry very well.

The design means they can't dry as well as a traditional dryer.

It will dry well enough that you can hang the slightly damp clothes for a while to finish the job, but you will not get crisp, warm, fluffy dry clothes like from a trad dryer.

Paying a lot does not change this

I have an LG that came with my apartment, I guess its from 2006 cause thats when my apartment was renovated. It doesn't every dry clothes completely. I just hang my stuff on a small drying rack, then when they are dry but them in the dryer for 10 or so minutes to fluff them. It is excellent for removing wrinkles though. I'm bad about trying different things on then leaving them on the floor, so they are clean but wrinkled. I just throw them in the machine on the dryer setting and it tosses most of the wrinkles out. Also, it has kind of a funky smell. I've been looking this up and apparently its common.

I bought the LG3988HWA steam washer/dryer combo a little over a year ago and absolutely love it. I read a lot of negative press about the washer/dryer combo units and was reluctant to spend the money (about $2500) on something that may not work. I have zero regrets. I paid extra to have a full size machine which I would suggest is a must for anyone contemplating buying a combo unit. It takes about 1 1/2 hours to dry a standard load of laundry. I typically don't dry jeans so that's a non issue for me. Towels take longer to dry but in a smaller load of laundry even bath towels come out hot and dry in the same 1 1/2 hours. The machine plugs into a standard outlet. I would recommend this machine in a heartbeat...love it. LG has an excellent warrenty and although I haven't had to service mine, I've heard that it is relatively easy to have machines serviced. The only problem is it only comes in white.

I have lived most of my life without a dryer, and had no problems drying my clothes outside. However, many communities give fines for this, and (I know it sounds stupid) and now that we've moved to a climate that is cold throughout the winter, and humid through the summer it isn't very realistic either. (As opposed to desert dryness year round). I am now looking into the ventless all in one, but we have a large family, so I'm not sure either. Anyone out there who has had one, let me know. (The laudromat is a nightmare with little kids.)

We have the LG WM3987HW and so far it has been amazing. This is the bigger model, which I would also recommend. It has about the same capacity as a regular washer (4.2 cubic ft), and we can do a full week's worth of darks or lights (for two people) at a time, with everything coming out perfectly clean and dry. Really - no drying rack necessary. It does take longer to dry than a vented machine, but the actual number of minutes or hours depends on a number of factors - how big of a load you put in, the type of fabric you're washing, whether you wash on warm or cold, and how dry you want things (i.e. bone dry, a tiny bit damp, or very damp). It also has a number of spin speeds, and putting it on the highest speed will significantly reduce drying time. We've been pleasantly surprised to find that our clothes are actually cleaner and dryer than what we were getting at the laundromat, and the expense of this particular model was worth it to us given that we were already spending a few hundred dollars a year on coin-operated machines (not to mention the time and hassle of going to the laundromat every week).

From what I have heard and read, brand DOES matter, and some brands/models might really not be worth it. I have a friend who has a smaller Haier and she's found that it doesn't do a great job at either cleaning or drying her clothes.

always set to the 'More" dry option. the moisture sensors will ensure it's dry at end. If you leave in the machine, humidity will condense and make damp again. Key is to remove promptly at end of cycle.
