The Powr of AI has unleased my washer/dryer combo. No shit, there's a setting that calculates and dries and whatnot (yes, just like an older machine that senses the load!). i think you're all just jealous because I have such a nice unit.

Did a quick cycle time analysis and it takes about the same amount of time to complete 4 loads in either traditional or a combo unit. I lose a little time to heavy drying items, but gain it back on quick drying like whites and sheets. So, while I don't have two machines going, I have two steps of the process going at all times. It's moo.

Well, yeah. Of course we're jealous of your unit.

Hopefully it works better than the sensor in my dryer. Always shuts down when clothes are wet. I think the problem is I'm too lazy to separate, so if a dry-fit shirt is covering the sensor, it thinks the load is dry while the cotton clothes are still wet.

Our Bosch condenser dryer (unvented) takes longer than regular dryers to finish, but never even close to as long as they say it will take at the beginning (because of the sensor). It says “extra dry” will take 2 1/2 hours but it usually is done in about half that time.
