I have a combination washer/dryer unit. It doesn't do a great job at drying, but it does remove enough of the moisture that it takes a couple days to get musty. It's nice that I can just stick a load in before bed, and besides wrinkles, there's no problem with me not getting to it for a day.

The combo units have tiny drums and take longer than separate units. They wouldn't be suitable for a family with kids, but for just two people It's been pretty convenient.

I'd be too paranoid to use that... Gotta inspect things before they go in the dryer to make sure it's all good.

You can do a wash cycle, check it and then do a dry cycle if you're paranoid about it. Personally I just chuck stuff in mine on a combined wash and dry and it comes out clean and perfectly dry. The first unit I bought was shit and barely ever dried anything properly but I sent it back and got a Samsung instead and it's been flawless.

I always wondered if a 2 in 1 washer/dryer was a thing but never bothered to look it up I guess, so thanks for that fact. Now I am off to restart the washer because the load I ran 2 days ago and forgot to put in dryer is now smelling a bit off

Preach.

This combination has been my purchase of the year 2023. Such a blessing, especially in a small apartment without a balcony.
