Just saw this in my lowes circular today. $1600+ each.
Novel or fad....? 1-cu ft upper washer and 5-cu ft lower washer • 2-in-1 washer provides flexibility to wash separate loads at the same time • Flat dry delicate items in upper dryer to prevent shrinking • 2-in-1 dryer provides flexibility to dry delicate items and everyday garments at the same time (WV60M9900AV) (DVE60M9900V)

Progress, My Hind Foot!
After hearing opinions from others I at least give HE FL type machines a small amount of credit and would recommend a WP VMW machine but this??? This is the exact definition of adding $75 of plastic so you can mark it up by $700. It is just like those "spring assisted" pull recoils on small power equipment, they add $4 in extra stamp steel for something that is even less convenient to use than a standard pull cord, but creates a buzz word worth $35 on the sticker price.
As a side note, how often would this get used? I think the average household would only have the pressing need to use this second washer maybe once quarterly. Also flat-dryer, really? "to prevent shrinkage" In that case use low heat or set a high time on the air fluff cycle. And if you really need a "flat-dryer" once in a while just lay the items on the table but heaven forbid spend the extra $700 on a glorified wrinkle permanent-wave machine. | ||

I guess it would be a great addition to the HGTV Dream Home.
It does also have a bit of a WOW factor. But in all honesty, GE has been down this road with the mini basket. You know, "for those nuisance loads"!

 This is very similar to the LG set up with the 2nd (small) washer in the pedestal below, but this set up is all together in the one box. Of course Samsung took it a step further by adding the additional drying compartment at the top of the dryer "ala the Rheem dryer" of the 1950's. Normally I would add the link for the thread about the Rheem dryer I discovered and bought a few years ago, but at the moment I'm only able to access the internet thru my phone and I cannot access the archives. Back to this Samsung set up. As for how useful would it be, I thought the same thing about LG's Sidekick(?) washer. Then a woman posted here that she bought the set with the little washer and loves it because she regularly does smaller loads (delicates, etc) along with regular loads and with (2 or 3?) kids, it saves her time.
