Great thread, and timely as well. I just bought a condo (to add to my rental portfolio) and the rules prohibit a washer/dryer in the unit. Actually, they prohibit a vent going through the wall, so therefor they say you can't have a washer/dryer.

A ventless dryer looks like just the ticket!
In checking the specs for the Miele 24" washer and ventless dryer units, they each draw 15A @ 120VAC. That would mean having two 20A outlets on different circuits to prevent the accidental 30A overload if both ran at the same time. Otherwise, they seem like excellent units.

Now comes the question, can Newmar wire in outlets on different circuits as a special?

Ideally, they would be able to put them on different legs of the 50A feed. It ill be interesting to see if Newmar will do that.

Yes, I see that.

Also, it appears they are quite inefficient as well. Not to mention, expensive. It would cost 2K to outfit the condo with w/d combo and the rent doesn't support that kind of "freebie".

That being said, it's a solution for those individuals who don't mind the expense and can live with the associated drawbacks.
 
Mapnerd is correct, the combo units will give you back and hernia. They are extremely heavy, and they don't do either job great. Our splendide units work very well. Stacked W/D units. Although it's a 120VAC dryer, it does the job if plugged into 50A. We have used it on 30A service, and it works, but everything else has to be off, water heater, furnace, Microwave, etc. Takes the same time either amp service.
