The new combination washer and dryer changes the game by eliminating the need for owners to complete the laborious task of transferring the load from the washer to the dryer and feeling chained to the laundry room until the cycle ends. Beyond that, the UltraFast Combo saves time with its ability to wash AND dry a large load in about 2 hours.¹ With the UltraFast Combo, the washer automatically cycles to dry so owners spend less time in the laundry room and more time doing activities they enjoy.

In addition to the time-saving capabilities, the machine also saves energy with its ventless heat pump technology and a High-Airflow Ventless Drying System that delivers 50% more energy efficient drying². The ventless design also lets owners reimagine how they want to set up their laundry room. Instead of having to plan around exterior venting, owners can set up their laundry from anywhere with a water hookup, such as a closet or primary bathroom. By pairing this feature with a 120v plug requirement and space-saving design, owners get the same speed and power they desire along with installation flexibility.

“We continue to challenge the status quo of how everyday tasks are done and disrupt the conventional laundry room design to address consumer pain points head-on,” said Ken Rudolph, senior director of product management for clothes care at GE Appliances. “We’ve created the ultimate powerhouse for laundry by bundling the power of cleaning and drying and matching that with energy-efficient features and a compact, flexible design.”

Since debuting at the Kitchen & Bath Industry Show earlier this year, the UltraFast Combo has been recognized by several associations and media companies for being an innovative smart home product. The all-in-one solution was awarded the Best Home Technology Product for the 10th annual Best of IBS awards by the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB), which recognizes outstanding building products and services based on the products' innovation, functionality, design as well as builder and consumer friendliness. The product was also awarded the 2023 Sustainable Products of the Year by Green Builder for its energy saving capabilities and the Design Meets Tech Award by Connected Design.

Additionally, the UltraFast Combo includes Adaptive SmartDispense™ Technology which helps save time and effort by automatically dispensing the right amount of detergent along with an UltraFresh System with Microban® Antimicrobial Technology that helps prevent odors by providing antimicrobial protection on the gasket, dispenser, and draining system. The machine is also designed at an ergonomically desirable height for retrieving and folding clothes on top, includes an exclusive, easy-to-reach lint filter system for easily removing lint and micro particles, and gives owners the power to manage their laundry loads remotely when connected to home Wi-Fi through the free SmartHQ app.

Available in Carbon Graphite, the UltraFast Combo with Ventless Heat Pump Technology is now available at retailers nationwide for a suggested retail price of $2,899.
