All in one washers and dryers. Love them or hate them?

All in one washers and dryers. Love them or hate them?

if you're going to get them for units, get the best/most expensive one otherwise they just don't work

Jake Denker any advice on a model number that’s worked well?

let me check...ive never personally used them, a developer I work with does in his units. he originally was using cheap ones and had to replace them with better ones.

Lance Bergeron looked up the model they used, which yes, they are a pain, and take a long time, but when space is an issue its a great option to still have the in unit w/d. if the only option is to use a combo unit vs. not having one, get it. the properties I worked on use a LG one but the specific model is discontinued. however, they still make them. just inform your tenants how to properly use them and you'll be fine. people will take having something in their apt vs a laundry room everyday.

HATE 'EM! The European ones are awful because they don't dry very well.

They suck. Takes four hours to do a load. Use only as a last resort

Hate them! We had them in one community and had to change them all out residents hated them!

Have tried Bosch and others.
Suuuuuuuuuck!

Check the ApartmentRatings.com comments of the properties that have them. Not a lot of fans. I have heard that Bosch makes a good one, if you have to have them.

They are not good for apartments.

Hate them

Hate pain to move and work on.

Hate. They take sooooo long.

Hate them! We recently changed out all 65 units that had all-in-one washer/dryers

Hate hate hate

Hate!!!

Hate

Pretty well-known fact that all the new high-tech dryers and washers these days are b******* and crap compared to what my parents grew up on.
The best washing machines have an agitator and a water tank they don't need all these frilly settings and special features.
The best dryers are simply rotating drums with a solid heat source and a lint screen.
Everything else is just hard to maintain without specialized tools/training/equipment or just an upsale for shit you don't need.

useless.....we evne had highend Bosch at one time and they were not worth having on site.

Don’t do it...

I have a property full of them. Haven’t had a single issue. I’m curious to hear why others don’t like them?

HATE!

Awful!!!

If someone says they like it, they’re a liar. Worst invention ever.

Agree with all the haters! They are so small and we replace transmissions weekly on 7 yo machines. Residents hate them as well.

Don't do it, the upkeep isn't worth it on apartments. Your maintenance team will love you.

Noooo

a full size/washer dryer always wins...nice to know when competitors have stackables or all in ones

Yuck!

Don't do it! Not worth it

I personally do not like them.

No

Nope. Especially if they are ventless. Figure out how to retrofit if you can.

Expensive to purchase and expensive to maintain.

Hate. Twice we had a fire because the tenant used home dry cleaning products in them. Two different households that didn't know each other. Got rid of them fast from all the units.

Hate is a strong word but I totally HATE washer/dryers.

Not in love with them. We have them at a 40-unit senior property built in 2009. They are ventless which is why they went with them to begin with. However, the load size capacity is so small. This causes most of the problems because people overload them. There is no laundry room on the property, so we are stuck with these. If I had anything to do with the decision to install them, I would say no.

Hate them. Expensive to fix, too small capacity. Not worth the headache.
