That's probably first time in my life, when i needed a video to explain me how to use home appliance.

[@homehelper9273]

it really is poor design!

[@nitrile2000]

We're in an AirBNB, washer/dryer in another language, no manual, host has no idea....but I watched your video and boom - we're drying. Thank you so much!

[@homehelper9273]

Glad it helped! Enjoy the trip

Were you in Mexico City too lol

We are in France using this damn machine. Neither of us read French. After going through two wash cycles trying to figure out how to dry we found your vid and solved the problem! Thank you for this!!!

I've had this machine for years and have never worked out this dryer closest I got was with the wash dry cycle it offers on the dial at 1.11...thanks Mate ..I will stop swearing and shouting at the machine now and won't have to do the laundrette run feeling useless...cheers

Can't find this in manual. Thks so much before I start washing every time I only want to dry. Best tip ever. Now the washing machine is much valued.

[@AustinTrail-tq8rn]

You are the man!!! These washers combos are super confusing. This video helped a lot🎉🎉

[@homehelper9273]

Glad I could help!

[@LakshmanPoonyth]

Thank you so much. I've had this machine for 8 months now, and it's only now that I figured it! I would tend to use the wash and dry cycle always, but given the 8:5 ratio, sometimes it wouldn't result in perfectly dry results.

[@homehelper9273]

That's good to hear. For the drying, are you trying to dry loads that are over the 5kg limit?

[@LakshmanPoonyth]

@@homehelper9273 Others using the machine have been doing that only. They ended up with humid clothes.

Hey, thanks for the video. Does the machine have a drying cycle for synthetic outdoor wear at lower temperatures?

[@homehelper9273]

Not that I know of but it's worth looking through added options in the app as you can download specific cycles. Maybe you've already found the answer by now? Thanks!

[@runthenumbers9698]

Am I the only person who is astonished that there isn't just a "dry" button or knob position? And that light showing the knob's position is OBVIOUSLY going to confuse people. I mean, not having a clear dry function is like having a car's gearshift that doesn't shift into reverse unless you lift up on the shift. Who engineered this crap? Also... I'm not certain, but I'm very convinced that there's no way to use the application to start a dry cycle. How is this not AT LEAST the 2nd most important function of a washer/dryer? Thanks for the video. You're a lifesaver

[@Rawanahful]

My sheets get wrinkled after drying, I couldn’t figure it what option to use if I wanted them to be wrinkle free! Any idea? Tia

It fully dries? When you use on the dry option? I was washing the other day direct was and dry it was not dried i had to put all my clothes on top of the bed to dry as in i am in resort theres no fan as option or sun drying Please looking forward for your reply.

Hey, thanks for the video. Do you perhaps know how to stop it from moving from its spot? My floor is tiles, it's even. I've put the floor pads that came with the washing machine underneath the 2 front legs. I can't even Showmax and chill in peace because it keeps shaking loudly and moving from its place.

[@homehelper9273]

Good question. I've not had that issue - are they are any transit bolts still in? Otherwise, it could be overloaded in terms of max. weight or uneven (esp. if washing large items like blankets)? This is not a site I'm affiliated with but looks like some good tips here homelyville.com/stop-washing-machine-from-walking/

Does it dry the clothes thoroughly like a standalone dryer?

[@michaelhoffmann1180]

Hello, thx for your Video it's really helpfull. I have one question, i saw the iron sign before... if you are click on dry and setup the ironing as well before it starts... it is really direct in the programm in the end ironing? And if you tried this maybe before, does it comes nice without crumpled? THX for a short answer. Kindly Mike

[@keketsomontshiwa3431]

Did you figure this out? I’m considering moving into an apartment and they don’t have me standalone washers and dryers and have this 2-in-1 instead. I was wondering if it really does thoroughly and wrinkle free like a standard dryer?

[@homehelper9273]

it's not as good as a standard dryer, but that's price for convenience and having the 2-in-1 unit, hope the move works out for you!

Hi Mike - I had to sell this unit a few months ago as part of a house move and I did not fully test the ironing options, I'm sorry. Have you been able to go into it in more detail? Hope all is going well with it 👍
