Hands down Yale Appliance really does the very best of the best informative, non-biased videos I've found yet. You all are really very, VERY good at what you do. Please don't stop. & Thank You!
Wow, thank you!
I love my GE, I bought it last December. Although I wasn’t experiencing any problems with my filter I’ve modified the lent filter for added security.
Greetings, well after all of the reviews on UA-cam I went out and bought one, that is the GE all in one. What a great machine. We’ve had it for 10 days and we have put 21 loads through it. I clean it after every cycle so I don’t think we’re gonna have a problem with Lint. Again thank you for all the reviews you guys do.
So far so good with our GE PROFILE ALL IN ONE! We got a great deal at Best Buy, no interest payments for 24 months. We are 150+ loads in and other than the lint issue, it’s been great. Great review.
Great video we have the LG model and it works great. If anyone believes that a separate washer and dryer offers faster laundry.... that may be if you are still doing laundry the old way staying home all day switching loads etc. We are a family of 5 and at night we put on a load and wake up it is done. Put on a load before leaving for work and come home it is done. Put on a load while working around the house and it is done when you are finished with other chores. You just have to change your laundry routine to a better one offering freedom to do other things. Our machine is quiet and seems to be saving $$$ in utilities and clothes seem to stay newer looking longer.
I've decided to get a pair of the GE's for our new home. My wife and I have 6 kids and switching the laundry doesn't always happen right away and often may take hours to get back to. I've been selling these for the last year at Spencer's in AZ with great feedback from clients thus far.
Love the videos btw! Specifically ones that dive into service rates, data on failure points, and your takes on what to consider.
God bless you with 6 kids. I got 3 and we have tons of laundry as it. Can't imagine 6
Excellent thank you Steve 😊
Thanks for the comparison of the various New HIGH TECH washer/dryer combo.
It appears we are going to go with the GE Ultrafast, even though from the various postings they should have done their own correction’s of the lint filter. However, not a deal breaker since there are postings of how to do your own modification for trapping more lint from getting to the Heat Pump coils.
Appreciate all the video postings especially with the GE Engineer of the ultrafast.
Love my GE ultra fast.. I used to forget to put the clothes in the dryer all the time.. also nice to be able to start a load and be able to leave the house. Don’t have to wait to put in the dryer.. have had 9 months now
Great review, I will wait a year or 2 maybe 3 🤞🏾 when more information comes out about the lint issues and how many service calls you made on all 3 combo units. These combo unit's are still too new to make a expensive buying decision, so it's a waiting game for now... Thanks for your expertise have a nice day.
I LOVE my GE All In One!!!!!!!! Into month 3 and not one problem
I LOVE our GE Profile. i work from home and can wash and dry 2-3 loads in a day. it dries just fine with the exception of bedding but even my old LG gas dryer required 2-3 complete dry cycles for heavy blankets and comforters
thanks for doing this review.
Own the GE as master bath unit, love it so far. Have had just slightly after release. Easy to add as a 2nd location for a basement laundry in an old house.
I've had the GE for awhile now. Its really good with clothes, sheets, etc. Where it doesn't fair well is with heavy blankets. I like the pet hair cycle it has.
Another great video.
I appreciate that
Nice comparison between all of them, looks like the GE ultra fast seems to be in the lead. I personally have a Miele washer and heat pump dryer. I must say you can get laundry done quicker with a separate washer and dryer. The dryer actually keeps up with the washer as far as when the washer is done with the load the dryer is as well.
I agree
These videos are great, thank you so much! These are all installed.
What are the possibilities of keeping one of these on rollers for storage and doing a kind of plug & play into the water and electric source? I was hoping to find a way to have this take the dishwasher space in my kitchen, but these three models are all much larger than my space of 34T x 24W x 24D. I live alone and only do laundry for myself, so I could use a smaller version, but I fear there's no such thing.
There are smaller versions, but they are not designed to capture the lint
Great video. I like to stay on the cutting edge of technology, and get cut about as often as not for it, so I've been watching your videos for a different perspective on these newer machines. That said, I noticed that your testing method is essentially washing a week's worth of clothing in divided loads, which seems like reviewing tractors by their top speed. To me, there are two primary reasons to consider buying an all-in-one machine: 1) you have no other option (i.e. no space or no vent) or 2) you want to use the schedule feature to do laundry daily while you're away. If you batch up your laundry then having two machines is always going to be better for throughput compared to one, so these combo units will always look bad by those metrics. So I'm more curious how these machines perform with a mixed set of clothing/linens that a person might dirty in 1 - 2 days and how well they can finish loads at a set time (or at least a consistant and predictable amount of time). Taking eight hours to wash a load isn't a big deal, but working 12+ hours then having to stay up another three hours past my bedtime waiting on my laundry to finish an unexpectedly slow load is.
I have old LG and I LOVE IT! I manually set the dry time each time. They took that ability out? Odd... I do it to add more time vs less .
LOTS lint in rubber around entry and on door and i open n lil door on bottom and clean after 5 uses. I have it on cinder blocks (w wood facade) but its I'm eye level w program screen so its easy no bend down. Tack cloth for lint and lil Dixie cup for water to Clean lil door
NO WASHER SMELL!! Yippy.
Just got the LG and love it so far for our family of 4. Time will tell i got a 5 year extended service warranty on it since i got it for a steal of $1800
5 year warranty...who will be fixing it under warranty?
@@YaleAppliance1 Lowe's Big Box store has their own network of service technicians from what I was told if anything goes wrong I guess we'll see
I may have convinced my wife to try one if I do laundry during the day.....we'll see come Memorial day.
One thing I haven't seen and would like to see for the future is if the actual electricity usage can be recorded (smart plugs are pretty cheap these days). If one washer/dryer takes longer but uses less electricity, that would be a fair trade if you're just going to end up leaving it running before bed.
Have had the GE one and done for about a year now I think. The lint area needs to be changed after every load for the best drying times. The heat sink does get lint on it not matter how often you clean the filter and you do need to vacume the inside of the lint area up after a few uses. Overall its been more of an upkeep than my traditional dryer but I still do like that everything (typically) is done all at one time no matter where I am.
Hello! Thank you for the video. The times shown are for washing and drying correct?
yes
The throughput of separates would probably be the deciding factor for me.
Thank you for this video. Been watching many to figure out which to get because when we did an addition on our house he builder moved the dryer vent piping and it’s now a 98 ft run with a lot of elbow and upward piping. 🤦♀️ we don’t want the risk of fire and the “big” vent cleaning company can’t be trusted to do a good cleaning we learned. A couple questions I’m curious to learn in your testing as we consider options.
For the Samsung comforter test did you use the AI setting? I’ve seen quite a few others say that the AI setting ends up about the same time as the LG and GE, but comes out dryer. Also on the Samsung, when lint was found on the coils, did you run the product care cycle? That’s something we’ve seen mentioned that seems to make sure the coils are pretty cleaned up and is recommended to run every so many loads. Curious again just because it seems those things make a difference. Agree with you that it seems we need to see what happens 5 years down the road.
We didn't run the clean cycle. Funny, I thought it was automatic.
Great video. Nailed it.
The horribly long drying times for bedding on the LG and especially Samsung make them a non starter for me in several Airbnb rental properties for which I was considering them.
The lint problem in the Samsung combined with its (IMO) overly all touchscreen computer interface make it a total non starter for any use case.
The GE or LG could be a nice option for anyone looking to add laundry into a bedroom walk in closet where plumbing may be easily accessible from an adjacent bathroom but where more than 120V electric outlet (or gas) and a vent are not readily available, and also where the smaller size and set it and forget it design could be nice to do clothes without waiting for laundry day or taking laundry to a remote laundry room on another floor or basement of a house.
I agree with you that the new heat pump separate dryer from LG, or the LG WashTower models with the heat pump dryer built in, make for a superior performing option. I just wish LG would make that heat pump WashTower without requiring a separate 240V outlet for the dryer part, which seems silly given how little amperage the dryer actually uses. Seems almost like a lazy design of just reusing the hardware from the regular electric WashTower unit so as not to have to have a separate part for manufacturing the chassis.
Hopefully you won't have to worry about it after your city outlaws and seizes all the Airbnbs everyone's been on the hype train to rent out... what happens when everyone is a landlord? Just rent from each other? It would be *infinite free money*!
Are any of these stackable? The ability to start and have finished loads for larger families in the same space as a stacked washer and dryer would be nice.
Good question.....but no, you cannot stack
Had I seen your videos before ordering, I would most likely have gone with the GE instead of the Samsung. FWIW, I've done around 30 loads and your exposure of the amount of lint build-up really has me worried. However, I ran an inspection camera back to the coils and mine look pretty clean, nothing like yours after 4 loads. I will admit that I'm paranoid about cleaning out the filter and actually vacuum it after every load. I still have a month before I'm locked in and, so far, I'm satisfied with the job it is doing.
Be careful
Did you update the Samsung before testing? Apparently a recent software update significantly reduces cycle times on their model.
Just ran it new.
We have a GE, one year in, it now does not dry well. Service guy is coming next week to look at it. Up till last week it was a good unit.
Let me know what the problem is.....
@@YaleAppliance1 Service guy came out. Looked at machine says we are doing a great job keeping lint clean as we clean coil and area after every wash. Then can't find anything wrong, and can't get history of codes and run data from the machine as it didn't record any, or he deleted it as he was connected to it with a hand held reader. So now GE says without any codes, everything is working perfect, no issue. They are full of BS it did work fine, up untill a week ago. Not sure where it will go next as we are doing a load of clothes now to see if it dries them. GE your service sucks, and this machine is a lint nightmare!
1) I am interested to know if the self clean cycle had been used on the Samsung unit? I would like to know if the clean cycle would remove the lint seen in the video. 2) I would also like to know if there was absolutely any lint buildup inside the LG unit when it was taken apart?
No lint on the LG. Samsung sprays their filter with water, so it should have been clean
Hmmm 🤔 I don’t particularly care for front loaders much myself but if I had to choose one I’d probably go with the Lg
So which is best of all 3?
Im leaning om GE but Samsung has more space but 6hr run time on king shet and comf????
I would say GE if you were to buy right now. We will see how LG holds up, and then compare.
@YaleAppliance1 what takes Samsung out? Long dry time or that's it's to new to tell? Im buying one today since they have memorial day sale and im stuck between Samsung and Ge
I have a Samsung one and I love it. Ours only ran that long if we chose the sanitizer setting. The AI setting just feels the load and goes.
I see owners say they clean the lint filter after every cycle religiously just to be safe. What is best practice here?
Definitely...clean that filter
Even my comforters comes out hot and dry, I don’t know what I’m doing differently, I’m not having damp or clothes feeling moist with any of my laundry
I was curious about how well my GE combo would perform so I washed a full size & a single bed comforter and they both came out dry with a minimal amount of moisture only on a few spots with a 2hr 40 mnts wash/dry time.
@@user-go5tc8nm8q Was it a thick comforter? I'm thinking about maybe getting the GE All in One, and some of the queen size comforters I use in the winter are thick, and been wondering if this machine could dry them
I'm quite excited for these results.... The LG was the one I was most excited about, but the Samsung sorta came out of nowhere and seemed that they fixed all the issues with the other two.. let's see if your test results find that to be true!
Welp... looks like Samsung indeed recognized issues and limitations of the other two but maybe didn't actually fully bake their implementation. Feeling slightly vindicated that my gut instinct was that the LG would be the best implementation...
But is it? Time will tell
Lg is the only option for me. The door to my basement is 27.25"wide. The others won't fit.
Four questions. 1. Which one do you truly recommend? 2. Which one washes away stains better? 3. Which one will last longer? 4. No vent, but what type of voltage do they need? TIA
I am sorry, but I cannot fully answer that until we sell more. They all wash well. At this point, I would say GE.
I never knew about the amount of lint that the Samsung is reportedly collecting. The company brags about the lint cleaning feature in this machine. Interesting!
I was pretty amazed myself
So did you say all warranties are bad?
Nope...only when they are not supported by actual service
I will stick with my Miele dryer T1 with plinth filter before exchanger and 2 in the drum area . I love my speed queen 2017 it’s a great washer and by the time it’s done washing on heavy duty and a extra rinse the dryer is done :) I also like the scent flacon in the dryer
I just tried the scent falcon yesterday really smells nice. The dryer keeps up with the washer because the cycles on the Miele washer are very long so it gives the dryer time to finish.
If you do a lot of laundry, it may be advantageous to buy two units. Except for the expense it’s the best of both worlds.
What about the plug. I live in a apartment
120 volt.....These units are great for you....
Who has 4 to 6 hrs to get comforters or blankets dry
Everyone...dryers always leave moisture
Great if you have only have space for one machine. Having a washer and a dryer saves time as one load can be drying while one is washing.
I'll wait for the next generation.
Me 2
Does any of these brands have an additional dryer that looks similar to. So you can have the convenience of the all in one but have an additional dryer when you have multiple of loads to do
Not really.....
The LG has a dryer that appears to match. Look up the DLEX6700B.
Definitely the LG has a ventless heat pump dryer that looks exactly like it's all-in-one counterpart and it has a lot bigger heat pump and plugs in 240
The LG does, the 6500 dryer, but Samsung and GE dont
We purchased the LG All in one. It broke 4 loads in and even the LG expert couldn't figure out what was wrong with it and LG bought it back
Something to keep in mind with these combos is that not only do they contain refrigeration systems (so I'm sure plenty of people are going to lay it on the side to haul it, then plug it in and run it right away, feeding a slug of oil to the compressor!), but they're just plain *heavy*... so early deaths may be a result of these issues that are unique to the combos.
that samsung time taking super long is wrong. Mine does comforters in the same time as the LG and GE, i had to take mines out early because it was super dry already.
You have a normal dryer?
@@YaleAppliance1 I experienced the same thing with my Samsung AIO on the BEDDING and STEAM SANITIZE cycles. Excessive cycle time, while the bedding is bone dry halfway through the estimated cycle (but it will go the entire 4-6 hours if you let it). Not sure what the deal is.
I tend to let laundry pile up and think the LG unit will be a huge quality of life boon. There’s a massive energy penalty for washing small loads with a traditional dryer because you remove the same amount of conditioned air regardless. In a place like Georgia where summer rates essentially double that’s a lot of money saved.
With the auto dispensing detergent and a separate ozone system to reduce mold and lint I feel like this is the pinnacle of laundry.
Also thank you for these insights, I was waiting on this to pull the trigger.
I love washer and dryer. I don’t like combo
My understanding is that GE does not have a true sanitise cycle, but rather their cheesy 'sanitise with oxy' which is a joke. Why GE went this route, other than to be cheap, is beyond me. So that would leave the LG as my selection.
I call BS, I have the LG and have to constantly clean the lint off the coils. nearly after 2 loads it's built up. If I dont clean them, dry times are MUCH longer. Otherwise its a good machine. The samsung one looks terrible though.
BS? Didnt see it in our four loads...
@@YaleAppliance1 4 loads isn't enough of a test.
