Washer/Dryer Combination

Hello,
I was wondering if anyone has ever owned or used a washer and dryer combination machine?
If so, what do you think? What are the pros/cons, are they worth the money?
I heard they are ventless and do not have lint traps so the lint gets everywhere.
Any thoughts?

Thank you!!

Two of my sisters live in condos. They have minimal room for appliances and have the GE combos. They're...... ok. I've had to service them both. It's small and does smaller loads then separate machines. Most do require an outside vent connection for the dryer.

I have serviced the ventless kind and there is a lint trap inside machine that gets clogged. Had to open machine to clean. Not to hard after you have done it.

I've had one and hated it.
Mine had no outside vent and ran on 120 volts.
Very small loads, took a very long time to dry the clothes, it uses a lot more cold water that justs runs down the drain and overloaded my septic tank.
A pain to have to keep pulling it apart to clean out the lint trap.
It used cold water in a coil to condense the moisture in the clothes.
