    The GE Profile All-in-One Washer/Dryer is objectively the worst home appliance I’ve ever use / owned.

    It is absolutely not fit for a family with pets or more than 3 household members. It requires much more maintenance than both of our old machines put together. We’ve had to buy specialty tools & a mini-shop vac to keep it cleaned out & parts of it you still cannot reach without disassembly (which the owner can’t do with out voiding the warranty). We’ve had 6 repair visits in less than two years, and the drying sensor has now failed twice. They are refunding our purchase entirely. If we hadn’t purchased the extended warranty we’d be screwed and out $2500.

    If you are considering one of these, stay away.

      What the fuck, the 300€ chinese off-brand no-name washing machine I bought has been doing its thing for three years and counting now (with the occasional ripped t-shirt or disappeared sock). The only maintenance I have ever done is clean the “filter” (just a small hole somewhere where stuff accumulates) and throw in some machine cleaner it starts smelling. Fair, it does not dry and therefore is mostly an empty box with some pipes and an electric motor, but as someone else said, “electricity costs money, the sun is free”.
