Of the five all-in-one washer-dryers we tested, the GE Profile impressed us the most.
The de-wrinkle setting works with clothes with light wrinkles that are dry or slightly damp.
A feature that sets the GE Profile apart is itspet hair removersetting.
Its also more expensive than most separate washer and dryer sets we recommend.
Product Details: Size:28 x 46.7 x 32 in.
It does not have any Wi-Fi features.
This best all-in-one washer and dryer is great for those on a budget.
While the machine did leave some clothes a little damp, it was manageable.
We found that giving the clothes a little shake would release the steam enough to let them fully dry.
Unlike the GE Profile, this combo unit doesnt have Wi-Fi features.
There also isnt a lint trap, but a monthly draining processremoves lint and hair.
We found this task easy to complete.

For a smaller unit, we recommend theGE Front Load Washer and Electric Dryer Combo.
But for large families with lots of laundry, we dont recommend ditching separate units yet.
This machine also had a messier lint trap than other versions we tested.
We did love the large detergent and fabric softener dispensers that require infrequent refilling.
The customizable tweaks with multiple presets for different fabric types and soil levels.
Like other all-in-one washer dryers, it did have longer cycle times than traditional machines.
