You know it's been tried before by manufacturers to combine the washer and dryer into one unit. Sometimes it didn't work out very well. Well now GE has put a lot of technology in it and put their stamp on this ultra fast combo washer and dryer with ventless heat pump technology. Now what that means is because of the heat pump technology it's drying the clothes and doesn't require a vent pipe. Now I've never even heard of that but think about how convenient that would be not having to vent it at all. Also instead of 220 which is generally what a dryer will take. This combo unit only takes 110 volts. That can save you a lot of money as well. And you're not compromised on size. You're talking about a 4.8 cubic foot capacity here. So you throw the clothes in, you close it up and you can have two large loads in just about two hours without having to transfer from clothes to the other. I don't know about you. I love this color.
