For washer-dryer combos, which attract a few reviews at a variety of sites, reviews at Buzzillions.com give an overall picture. The Frigidaire GLEH1642FS and LG WM3431HW are highly rated.

by Editors of ConsumerGuide.com
ConsumerGuide.com reviews nine washer-dryer combos and recommends three as budget buys and two as best buys. Although the reviews here are detailed, most date back to 2007. The editors also include a lot of… detail on features and specifications, but there is no indication that the washers and dryers have actually been tested, and several washer-dryer combos highlighted here have since been discontinued.
by Editors of Which? magazine
Editors at Which? magazine, a British consumer publication similar to ConsumerReports.org, test 62 washer-dryer combo models. However, none of the recommended washer-dryer combos is available for American… consumers. Still, this article is useful for its comments on reliability of washer-dryer combos in general, in addition to how they stack up against regular washers and dryers. Overall, editors say reliability is poor for these machines, with frequent problems like poor drying performance and unbalanced machines.
