Say what you will, there is a market for this concept and I like it. I've long fantasized about a mini model exactly like this as well as a medium and full size version. While it takes more time and energy this stratagem produces an extremely economical, light weight, space saving washer that anyone can buy. Unlike twin tubs and separate dryers it is fully automatic- load, set and walk away.  

From my understanding the unit exhausts directly out the back. Under a cabinet would cause the unit to overheat and/or cause moisture condescension to the inside walls of the cabinet. These units are best out in the open.

IMO spinless combos (and none condensing dryers in general) are best vented outside due the immense amount of moisture and heat generated. And while I don't know where the heating element is located I'd imagine if located directly under the clothes or where it gets wet there might be odor from the detergent residue or minerals in the water.  

It IS cute! I suppose you can fit a few jockstraps and socks in there. If you get it let us know how it performs.

Why not just buy more Speedos, they dry up fast!

Uh Louis, nobody is in denial of climate change. As I've said before, there are forms of carbon free energy that are so abundant end user energy consumption becomes irrelevant. Yet you, and a dozen others, are the one who twists that into the rest of the site advocating for rampant carbon emission.

I and those few dozen others are lucid enough to know the enormity of climate change and how to actually go about slowing it down in a realistic, economically viable fashion. 

John, your basically saying negative comments make forum contributions, yet positive comments add nothing of substance to AW.org.

If you read Reply #4 I made nothing but positive comments about this mini washer stating its numerous advantages. I made no disparaging remarks. The rest of the forum however decides to trash this combo washer-dryer in numerous ways including its energy consumption- a topic which manages to get brought up in every other thread ad nauseam. 

In fact a while back I specifically spoke about wanting to see a low cost spin-less combination washer-dryer come to the market only to receive personal attacks calling my intelligence into question in addition to plenty of comments about how such a concept would never be marketable, practical, possible or be tolerated by any user. You included John. People said I had no real world experience and I lacked  basic engineering knowledge.

Yet two years later here we are- we have a low cost combo thriving on Amazon and all over the globe. People are very happy with this machine. Nobody outside AW.org is complaining about the time, energy, washing, rinsing or the like. People are buying it, enjoying it, and reaping the benefits. People will gladly pay more for energy if that means not having to wash even two or three items by hand. And would be willing to to do the same with big loads if it meant not having to manually drag a machine around, manually fill a tub with the correct water temperature, set a timer, manually drain it, manually fill it again, set it, drain it, then put the clothes into a separate spinner or wringer, then transfer them to a separate dryer or hang them in their bathroom.    

What this forum fails to grasp is there is a massive open market for specialty washers and dryers. A void that is being filled every day in a booming market. 

I thank you John for paying my membership, and even inviting me to your museum. That was a really kind thing to do and I am grateful for that. However, I will not blindly abandon my lucidity, knowledge or experience in the process.         

Do you mean kilowatt hours? Wattage is the amount of power consumed for 1 second and not the total amount of energy used per cycle.

I get your point though, these machines have to boil away at least several cups to several quarts of water.

Also to clarify I never ended up visiting John's museum at no fault of his. Blame rests with myself. I still however thank him for the invite.
