Can I ask for your opinions of washer/dryers

I've been looking at buying a tumble dryer as I can't stand the thought of another winter of having every radiator in the house covered in washing just to get stuff dry. I do use an airer but it never seems to get 100% dry without finishing it off with a bit of heat.
Obviously I'm concerned about how much they cost so have been looking at heat pump options. I also have the issue of very little space so am now looking at combi washer/dryers. I'm reading everything I can online and info seems to be very mixed with regards to how well they perform and what they cost so I thought I would ask you lovely people.
Does anyone have or has had a washer/dryer that can give me some honest info?

I previously lived in a house with one. Everything came out very creased and it was easy to accidentally tumble dry something instead of washing it. I ruined multiple non-tumble dry items in it, including singeing a mattress protector 😬

Heated drier would be my option. We do actually have a tumble drier, but it takes ages to dry stuff that it's used only in emergencies here. We have about 5 folding driers that are used for our drying. They do best. Put a load on at tea time and it's dry next day on the airers
