Profile PFQ97HSPVDS 28 Inch Smart Front Load Washer/Dryer Combo with 4.8 cu.ft. Capacity, 12 Wash Cycles, 14 Dryer Cycles

I have been using this exclusively for over two years now. (Well, except when I visited somewhere for a week that had more conventional machines.) It is perfect for me. Your mileage may vary. What this is absolutely great for is last minute stuff. Usually when I go to bed, I make sure I have clean clothes for the morning. If I don't, I can just throw some in this machine, start it, and it will be ready in the morning. I don't have to stay up an hour and a half to move it over. Even if I forget until the morning, if you only throw like five things in it, the machine automatically adjusts to the load size and finishes both wash and dry in the like hour it takes for me to get ready anyway (though it doesn't adjust the estimate until you actually start it, so it may SAY it will take the normal like three hours when you start it). I almost never need to do multiple loads in one day. Frankly, I don't like spending a whole day just on laundry. I would much rather do one load, put it away, and *maybe* put another load in the machine to put away tomorrow or just run loads on two separate days of the week. Now as to the drying effectiveness, obviously a compromise like this has drawbacks, but I think they did really well. There may be some water around the door seal (where the hot air doesn't get to), and you might have a sock there that actually needs to hang up to dry on the edge of a laundry basket or a lampshade or something. But while I don't like the "Don't believe your lying eyes!" phrasing the company has allegedly responded to some people with, it almost always does actually get things dry. It's just that usually, it finishes drying after the machine turns off. If you get them out immediately, there is enough residual heat that even though the clothes won't feel 100% dry as you pull them out, they will by the time you finish sorting and everything. If you don't pull them out immediately, they will be dry by the time they are cool. However, this does depend on it having enough room for the clothes to actually move, rather than being so full that it's one giant chunk of clothes. I'd say you can fill it maybe 75-90% full without keeping it from drying. 95% full the clothes touching the metal of the drum will be dry and you can pull those out and start the machine on "dry" again. I've only done this like once or twice before I got the hang of not filling it too full. Of course, the more full it is, the slower it is. I usually fill it about 75% full, and it takes an hour to wash and two hours and change to dry. As previously mentioned, I've also thrown like five things in and wash and dry together only took less than an hour. About half full, it takes about two hours all together. Towels can take longer than thin shirts, but it does work (again, as long as the laundry can mix). Part of what reminded me to write a review is that I recently had the first time where it didn't get something clean. There was a chunky vomit situation, and several chunks were too big to fit in the drain holes. I scooped those out of the machine with a spoon, hosed the laundry off outside, ran the self clean cycle, ran the dirty load again, and everything was fine. The controls are mostly intuitive, though not completely perfect. They are all touch buttons; pushing hard is not necessary or productive. The least intuitive part is that if you ONLY want wash or dry not both, since it defaults to both on, you have to touch the button for whichever you DON'T want on to toggle it off. (I think I saw another review mentioned being confused by this, though it made sense to me.) I didn't think I'd like the smart dispense detergent feature as much as I do. Once you toggle that on, it will default to on until you manually turn it off. It saves you a step. All you have to do is throw in the dirty laundry, check the lint trap, and start the machine. And you can dump in like a whole 50 oz. bottle of detergent at once (though I buy the even bigger bottles and therefore might have to take the lid off the bottle like three whole times, horror of horrors). I have never connected it to Wi-Fi. I don't see the point, and I know IoT devices like this are generally the weakest point in your network security. (I also do not have any "smart" speakers or anything.) Plus, while I don't know of cases where GE in particular has done it, I've heard of other corporations installing "updates" that make things worse, and I didn't want to leave them that option. (See the Consumer Rights wiki or fulu.org.) I do like that it works off 120V AC. I have a conventional dryer and the right 240V outlet for it in my house (I assume both work and they're even still hooked up though I haven't used them since I got this), but I'm working on retrofitting a camper trailer with solar panels (and batteries). Getting sufficient 120V inverters is enough of a hassle without having to find a way to also either wire them in series or get a dedicated 240V inverter just for one device. I see why most people don't bother with true dryers in campers, but I will (hopefully) have that luxury. Durability wise, this has mostly been great. For a while, I had the habit of leaving the lint filter sticking out to remind me that I'd already cleaned it, but then my husband stumbled into it and broke the handle off. I was able to get it back on, and everything still works. There have been no other issues. The operating noise level is entirely reasonable. It's not significantly louder or softer than any other laundry machine I've ever used, though if it's either I'd lean towards quieter. I can hear it running in the basement from the first floor, but not the second. The dryer stage in particular is monotonous enough that it fades into the background and I can forget about it easily. (In contrast, I am incapable of "tuning out" the music in the average retail establishment unless I drown it out with headphones.) If anything, it's too quiet and I won't notice that it's done when I want to remember to fold it. Maybe if you're willing to connect it to the internet unlike me, that's what it's good for. The button noises etc. are also pleasant and quiet enough not to bother me, though I'd prefer a completely muted option. Speaking of folding, I don't get much wrinkling in my clothes. A lot of them are modern fibers not prone to wrinkling in the first place, but even more classic stiff button up shirts only get wrinkly if I leave them in there for like a whole day or something. Of course, I'm not exactly obsessive about wrinkle elimination, so I'm not the best judge of that. (My clothes are either tight enough that wrinkles get stretched flat or loose enough that they'll kinda wrinkle from being worn no matter how flat they are out of the dryer.) The price is a bit steep, but reasonable for something that's actually innovative. I have no regrets about spending roughly $2,400 on it in late 2023. If you're in a space like a trailer where every square foot counts, it's DEFINITELY worth it compared to having two separate conventional machines. If not, it's only probably worth it. If you really like doing one load after another and have plenty of room for two machines, it would be reasonable to go for that instead (unless you're so rich that you don't mind buying two of these). Oh, and I don't bother with dryer sheets. You could interrupt it to throw one in after the wash cycle if you want (there's even a button to make it audibly alert you to "wash complete"), but going without hasn't bothered me so far. One less consumable item to waste money on. I kinda like my clothes not smelling so strong.

First let me say this is a brilliant and innovated idea. I feel it should have been done decades ago. Combining a washer with a heat pump to dry the clothes may be a relatively new concept but I feel this may very well become the way washers will all work in the future. That being said, the number one complaint I found when researching this item before purchasing it, is that sometimes clothes aren’t completely dry. This is not a conventional clothes dryer, there is no heating element and no exhaust vent. The heat pump pulls air from the laundry room into the machine and removes the moisture sending it down the drain. If this machine is placed in the basement or carport as some people do, due to no room for an actual laundry room inside the home, the air this machine pulls in may be cold and humid. Putting moisture from the surroundings back into the machine will not allow the clothes to dry properly. Make sure you do these three things to insure DRY clothes. 1 The air surrounding the machine should be moderately dry. If you place this machine in a moist area try using a dehumidifier to remove excess moisture from the room. 2 The air surrounding this machine should be relatively warm. There’s no heating element in this machine. The surrounding air is all the heat this machine uses to dry clothes. If the air surrounding the washer is cold, try leaving the door open to allow heat from other rooms to enter the laundry area. Or open a heating vent to allow more heat in the laundry room. 3 Air flow is important. If the machine is crowded, air can’t be pulled through so moisture can be expelled. I never fill my washer more than about half way full. This is a large washer, half full is still a large load. Doing these 3 things, my clothes get COMPLETLY dry. I hope this will help if you are having problems with damp clothes.

We received this machine 12/31/2024 New Years Eve only to take the wrapping off to see the left side was damaged with a huge dent.we bypassed that hooked it up to start a load it started washing pretty good but when it got to spin the machine came alive it started jumping and shaking and banging all over the place. We had no idea what to do we tried pressing pause it didn’t work we could hold it because of how heavy the machine is, we unplugged it and it still went crazy for another minute or something. We read through the manual watched you tube videos to see if we can do something on our own. Nothing! We contacted everyone with no response amazon put in a note to the seller and the seller well another problem they act like it’s your fault the machine came to you broken . This seller should not be selling on amazon if u look on the seller comments I am not the only person having this issue. I called the seller with no answer for hours than at the end of the day I get them on the line and the person who answers the phone gives way to much attitude and hostility. I’m still waiting for them to schedule an emergency Service appointment or come get the machine and refund me my money so sad .. please do not purchase from this seller and be careful buying large purchases like this on amazon!!!!

La verdad es cosa de acostumbrarse a ella, si la vas a comprar tienes que tener en cuenta los pros y los contras; los pros: 1- si no tienes espacio para dos lavadoras, esta es la mejor opción, 2- si eres de las que olvidan cambiar la ropa para la secadora, es para ti, porque ya la sacas seca y no necesitas estar preocupándote por cambiarla, 3- si no te gusta poner en cada tiempo el suavizante de telas y el jabón cada que vas a lavar, está ya tiene su dispensador automático para que se lo ponga por ti. Pero ahora van los contras; 1- tarda mucho hasta dos horas y media, 2- si le pones mucha ropa no seca bien, 3- tienes que estar limpiando con la aspiradora adentro del compartimento donde va el filtro porque se llena de pelusa, y es muy difícil porque está muy delgado para que entre la manguera de la aspiradora 4- tienes que saberle mover porque si no la ropa te queda húmeda. 5- también queda pelusa húmeda adentro en las orillas de la lavadora y se tiene que limpiar a cada rato porque el sistema de la lavadora te lo pide. si es buena opción si no puedes tener dos, no me quejo porque lava bien la ropa siempre y cuando te adaptes a ella, más que nada porque tienes que meter la ropa ponerle su ciclo y dejarla mientras haces tus cosas, porque en un día no salen muchas lavadas ya que si tarda por que hace las dos funciones de lavar y secar en la misma lavadora.

By no means a long term review but everything about this experience is amazing. The delivery was great the delivered it right into my laundry room. The machine is rather heavy close to 350 lbs. so it is hard to move around by yourself. I always use the more dry setting and the clothes are almost always dry. It is louder than the standard machines in my opinion but not too bad. It does vibrate my floor pretty good which is kind of concerning but my floors aren't that great. I really like the features: the automatic detergent/softener is great, the not having to have a dryer vent is also amazing as you have many more options to where you put the machine, it also only take 1 120v outlet. You can practically put this machine anywhere in the house. To address the capacity it fits everything I would need the biggest load I have tried is a few towels and sheets as well as the comforter. With this load I still could put more in if I wanted.

It has so many options for washing and drying. The ventless feature is absolutely amazing! I love using the app through my phone or iPad, you can extend the dryer time or add water through it. It is so convenient. The more I use it, the more I love it. This product would work out perfect in apartment complexes, and small homes that don’t have laundry facilities. I purchased this because I hate running downstairs all the time to switch the laundry from the washer to the dryer. That is definitely a plus! The cons are this, and I stress this! It is one machine doing two machines work so , it will take longer to do laundry in it because you are only running one machine, so if you did three loads that would take six hours. If you have no issues with that, then this is the machine for you. I highly recommend this product ! I just wanted to update after a year of having my washer dryer combo. I have not regretted it as of yet! I absolutely love this machine. You do need to keep in mind that you do need to wash out the filters. I do it about every five or six loads. But I love this machine. I do not regret buying it. I will never regret buying it. It’s been nearly two years and i still love this machine I suggest buying a dryer cleaner to clean out the lint along the sides

We have had this combo machine for a few months now. We LOVE it. People who are saying it doesn’t dry well are not taking care of their machine. This machine is VERY PICKY with having lint in it. You have to clean it out on a very regular basis for it to continue to perform the way you want it too. If you want this machine to work be prepared to do daily surface cleaning and weekly deep cleaning. But if you take care of it, it’ll take care of you. For my family, the maintenance is worth it because of what we get out of this machine. Update: We have had this machine for ten months now. Everything I said in my first review (above) remains true. My family takes care of this machine with our “2 & 10” rule. Two mins daily for upkeep, and ten minutes weekly for deeper clean and upkeep. With following that, our machine keeps giving us what we need.

Firstly, look at reviews all over the internet, this is a common problem that GE can’t or won’t fix. This thing doesn’t dry clothes. I’m not talking about slight dampness, I mean wet or soaked clothes. We have to run the dry cycle 3-4 times even with small loads to get our clothes dry, and by then they’re very wrinkly. GE has been useless, taking over a month to get me an appointment. The day of the appointment the first time they didn’t show up, and rescheduled for 2 weeks later. This time they sent me parts so the tech could install them (how would they know what’s wrong without looking at it?). The tech was supposed to call before he came, but didn’t. He came and told me that he’s never seen one of these machines and had no idea what he’s doing. He managed to install one of the parts, but didn’t install the other one. Machine still isn’t drying clothes. They’re hardly warm after the initial dry cycle. I’ve contacted GE half a dozen times and am lucky if anyone responds to me, and if they do, it’s multiple days later, and they provide zero help. I’m stuck with a $2500 machine that doesn’t work. If GE wants to make this right, come take this thing off my hands and bring me a normal stackable washer and dryer. I’ll take the loss of the difference between them.
