Washer dryer recommendations

Hello everyone, looking for washer dryer recommendations.

My Samsung washing machine broke this week so looking at getting a combined unit this time (haven’t got room for a separate dryer)

Would like one where a full load wash doesn’t take hours…most of the ones I’ve looked at take 3 hours plus which seems ridiculous as my current 8kg cycle takes 1 hour ish!

Feel like I’m going down a rabbit hole looking at all the options….help!!

Combined ones are awful to live with. I'd spend more on a washing machine, with a really great spin cycle and so on. Get one of those airer things that pull down front the ceiling if you can.

I had a Candy one thirty years ago which went on for 18 years and was still functioning when I inherited a newer machine.

However, I'd never have a washer-dryer again. The capacity of the dryer was half that of the washer, so it just wasn't practical as a 'fire and forget' solution. And the performance of the dryer was poor.
