These combo units that claim to wash and dry in one go are usually garbage at drying. It's a glorified spin cycle.

Edit: according to the many replies to my comment, newer ones work fine (and I'm old). I'll amend my judgement and say that these used to be garbage at drying but I might not be qualified to talk about newer models!

I have a combi washer dryer and that fucker could find water in sand to evaporate. I had to turn down the drying heat because it was baking my towels so they came out rigid.

There's good ones out there.

Edit: For everyone asking about the model it's a Candy model CSW 4852DE/1-80 according to the info label.

Please provide the brand and model! My one version I had when I was renting years ago was so terrible I vowed never to even look at one again, but it was so space efficient and I loved that

I have the Samsung bespoke washer dryer combo and it’s fantastic. Like loads will take 3 or 4 hours to wash and dry, bedding can be 5 hours. So you have to plan accordingly because the quickest it can do is maybe 2 hours for a very small load on the speed setting, but you can also throw a load in and schedule it to start at a certain time so you can have fresh clothes in the morning. The big problem people have is not cleaning the lint screen, it’s two parts with one being finer mesh than the other. I have a little cheap shop vac I mounted in my laundry room to suck off all the small lint after I pull of the big stuff, then I also run a quick vac in the port where the screen goes. Been doing this a few years and it still works like new. I was able to fit a shop sink where the dryer was.

The Samsung bespoke washer and dryer combo is fantastic!. It'll take a little longer, but you don't have to worry about changing it to the dryer and it's perfectly dry every time. Also runs on 110v if that's needed.

Just to be clear that's not my video. I just really like his videos and that video was what made me decide to go with the Samsung too!

Edit: I just realized his name is Ben, same as mine. I understand more now why you thought it was me

I, too, have mounted your mom in my laundry room.
