Yes,
In the USA they are sold under brand names such as Fagor, Malber, Equator, Splendie, Ariston, etc. Europe adds a few more major names such as Miele.
Overall most find them more trouble than they are worth, but if one must for various reasons not purchase separate washer and dryer they are better than nothing. Now the older/vintage W&D combination units are another story. | ||

Wascomat_kid, if you are interested in learning about vintage combo washer/dryers, do a search in this forum for them and you will find enough reading to keep you up several nights! They first debuted in the US in the early 1950s. They achieved some popularity and there are some on this board who's primary passion is to collect these vintage machines. The last of these rolled off the Whirlpool and GE assembly lines in the early 1970s. From then on, I don't think any US manufacturer has taken this on. I think one or two european companies have tried this again recently. That discussion, however, would be found over in the "Deluxe" forum.

Washer / Dryer combos!
At the moment I have 3 combos and by the end of the year that will increase to 4.
Click the link below, this is a thread I started just over a year ago. There are lots of photos and info about vintage combo machines.
Here are photos of the three I have, starting with the newest, a 1969 Lady Kenmore combo.

Mine is a . . . . . . 1959 Philco Bendix Duomatic. It runs just fine and does the job.
