Not to be beat by LG, Samsung is also releasing its version, which they had shown here last year.

performance

How well is the washing and drying performance compared to LG and GE?

New Samsung ventless combination washer dryer

Hopefully the drying will be faster than the LG with the underpowered refrigeration system. This machine is taller and hopefully they put a decent sized heat pump unit in it.

The specs don’t say whether it’s 120 or 240 V I couldn’t figure that out I’m assuming it’s gonna be 120 V as that would be adequate.

It will take a while, but this is gonna make a significant dent in the laundry market worldwide. I believe once people get used to the convenience of being able to wash huge loads without any further attention, and this will be the end of the stinky washer syndrome. Many people have had with front load washers in the past.

Unfortunately, no manuals anywhere yet.

But the warranty terms are interesting.
They warrant the drive motor for an additional amount of time - but the drying system not at all.
GE warrants at least the refrigeration circuit, no idea about LG actually.

Might be a pro for the GE given these aren't yet proofen per se.
However, given how rare compressor issues are on ALL HP dryers over here, even down to the cheapest of cheap, I wouldn't worry to much.

Samsung full-size heat pump combo warranty

Reply number three, the drying system is certainly warranted for at least a year. The entire machine is, I agree that the compressor is probably the least of your problem. Compressors are extremely reliable today with exception of course of Samsung and LG refrigerator compressors, but this is a bigger unit.

I’d worry more about refrigerant leaks in the sealed system. That’s a big problem with dehumidifiers in general and they use the same type of coils.

Refrigerant?

What type of refrigerant is being used by these combos? I would be very fearful of a unit using an explosive refrigerant, especially with so many sources of ignition within the same box.

largest combo

So who's combo is the largest? Would it be between GE, LG or Samsung?

Refrigerant used in heat pump dryers

The GE combo uses R134 a which is non-flammable as does the full size, whirlpool, highbred heat pump dryer and the small whirlpool 24 inch heat pump dryers we have here that are made in France also use 134 a I don’t know what everybody else is using.

Wow, I thought that refrigerant was decommissioned in everything a few years ago.

The cycle selection is - as always - OK for a Samsung.

Slight disappointment that the Whites Cycle only runs with Steam and a hot temp setting.
The AI wash and dry is interesting - it's AI fabric type sensing only operates on 8lbs or less.

Several dryness settings, but no "Eco" or "Speed" modes like on the LG.

They placed the compartments for the automatic dosing in the bottom of the unit which is a factor to consider.
And no manual dosing of softener either - only bleach via a compartment and detergent via a dosing aid for the drum.



Now just looking forward to reviews on drying time etc.

My point exactly Henrik, half measures for a whites cycle. Always found Samsung’s programmes awkward. I was never tempted to consider Samsung for household appliances.

Let's not forget the cold-water cycle for Tide Pods...
