Splendide WD2100XC

TOP10 Combos

RANK #8:

If you look at this combo, it looks like all the other I have reviewed so far, however it does differ in a significant way. The drying function requires venting the hot air outside, which might be a problem in some households. Basically you need to make a hole in the wall, or have it near a window or a door. Sometimes, you can see this model being sold under the name Westland WD2100XC. It’s basically the same unit, just rebranded.

Pros and Cons:
Positives:
  • Good capacity.
  • Easy to install, easy to use.
  • Quiet.
  • Uses little water.
  • Energy efficient.
  • Low Maintenance – Lint passes safely through a ‘self-cleaning pump’ and then out the drain or dryer vent – so there’s no messy wash or dry filter for you to clean.
Negatives:
  • It uses a vented system so you will have to deal with the hot steam and vent it outside.
Negatives common to all combos:
  • There is no exterior lint trap for the dryer. The lint tends to collect around the rubber seal and you have to empty that once a month depending on the frequency of use.
  • The clothes need to be free to tumble in order to dry completely. Fill only half of the drum if you’re going to use the dry function.
  • Noisy water pump that expels the water from the machine – although active only intermittently during the wash and rinse cycle.
  • Produces a bit of heat.
