How My Dream of Jetson-Era Convenience Came True with the GE Profile Washer Dryer Combo

The most incredible appliance I have ever purchased is a dream come true. The GE Profile Washer Dryer combo is like something from the Jetsons TV show.  You won't believe what this thing does. Let me tell you a story.

It all started a month ago when the stackable washer/dryer combo I had for over ten years. Both decided to break down a week apart from each other. This put me in a strange situation with both appliances going down simultaneously.  Searched online a few stores and then ventured into the real world to see what was available. Taken back by the prices of stackable units, they had shot up in price over the years. After hours of exhaustive research, I was about to give up. Then it happened, and that would change my life.

A salesman showed me the latest in washer/dryer technology—a washer that washes clothes and then dries them in the same unit! You don't have to take the wet, soggy items and switch to another unit. It's called the GE Profile Ultafast Combo washer and dryer. It's a snazzy, feature-rich, all-in-one machine that promises to deliver clean, dry laundry in one step quickly. I found this model to be leagues better than washer-dryer combos of the past. Talk about a space-saver in the washroom.

The unit takes a 120v outlet and water hook-up. It's an all-in-one unit, so it saves space. Just load your clothes and remove them when they are clean and dry.

It is great for the environment, as there is no need for a vent to go outside. It has a Fast Airflow Drying System. High-speed, recirculated air gently dries even large loads and heavy jeans without high heat. You can wash and dry everything, including delicates, without hanging dry. I was surprised when I took my clothes out if, at first, they don’t feel warm and dry—shake them out, and they’ll feel dry in seconds. It was amazing.

I already see a difference in my bills, and I don't have to put extra dry clothes in my dryer. The fun part is it saves my energy, and I do not have to load and transfer my clothes now. It is the words of those TV sales pitchmen, "Set It And Forget It."

The best part of that question is, "YES."  Get these new all-in-one washer/dryer combos close to regular stackable washer-dryer units. If not even a little bit cheaper, as in my purchase.

It's almost vacation season. Well, really, any season is vacation season. People travel year-round, but it amps up in the summer months and over the holidays. Travel has really increased since the end of the pandemic. People are itching to get out and explore the world after being couped up for so long. So, if you want to travel a bunch but don't want to waste money, I have some smart and secret tips for you to save money on your next vacation.

For the 2023 holiday season, the AAA projected a whopping 115.2 million travelers to travel 50 miles or more from home during the travel period from Saturday, Dec. 23, 2023, to Monday, Jan. 1, 2024. The number of travelers was projected to increase 2.2% over last year. It also marked the highest projection since 2000, when the AAA first started tracking holiday travel. The busiest travel season, according to the AAA, was in 2019. So, it's obvious that people are traveling pretty much more than ever.

So, where are people traveling? According to the AAA, some of the most popular vacation spots for travelers are the usual suspects. Those include Orlando, Florida, the home of Walk Disney World; New York City, New York; Las Vegas, Nevada; Chicago, Illinois; Alaska and beyond. Other spots around the world include Mexico, Europe, the Caribbean, Africa and Iceland. According to the latest numbers, the AAA says that Orlando is the No. 1 travel spot for Americas. "Home to world-famous theme parks that attract millions of visitors a year, like Disney World, Universal Studios and SeaWorld, it comes as no surprise that Orlando is the number one top travel destination in the U.S.," they state.

If you're traveling to some fun hotspots, you'll want to save some cash. Read on for some helpful tips to save money on your vacation this year.

Did you know that hotel fees can be negotiable? Fidelity.com points out that, "You may be able to negotiate the online price by calling a hotel directly, or asking if they have any discounts for students, government employees, or members of certain groups, such as AAA." So, don't settle for that price you see on your laptop. Try to do better. It's a secret tip that can pay off bigtime.

Did you know some hotels that are virtually the same, including the same brand, can be cheaper just a few miles apart? As a general rule, hotels that are near the airport are more expensive. So, you can look at the hotels you want to stay at and their multiple locations in the area for the best rate. "Some hotels that are under construction may rent rooms at a discount, which is a great option if you can deal with the noise," Fidelity.com points out.

Going out to eat on vacation can be one of the most exciting things about the trip. But, if you want to save on cash, skip a few meals out and opt for healthy, hearty snacks. Pack (or buy at a local store) some protein-rich snacks, like protein bars and meal bars, and limit your dining out. You can still enjoy some of the best food the area has to offer, just not as much of it. This is a way to stay fit on your trip, too. A lot of people don't think of this tip, so it's a bit of a secret.

You've heard it so many times in life: Timing is everything. That's true for travel, too. Research to find the least-busy times to visit your destination. If you travel during those downtimes, you'll save big. While this is a common tip, something people forget is that every vacation destination has its own peak time. So, be specific for your travel spot.

If you're thinking of traveling solo to a place you've always wanted to visit, go cheaper by traveling with a friend. You two can share lodging fees. Also, sometimes there are more deals and discounts for those traveling with multiple people. I always do this when going to a big music festival, if it's far away. I'll usually meet my friend there, and we share lodging costs. It also makes the trip more fun.

Look for some free attractions in your travel area. Chances are, they won't be as packed as the big-named places, too. You can still visit some of the popular landmarks. But, if you add a trip to a national park or free museum to your itinerary, it will save you some cash.

Are you a member of any random groups? You might have travel deals just waiting for you. Check everything, from your college alumni membership to your credit cards, for travel discounts. You may be surprised what you find.

Say you just want to get out on a fantastic trip, but you don't really have a place in mind. That's actually a good thing. Take an hour to look at flight specials happening right now. If you aren't picky on where to travel, chances are you'll find a great rate on airfare and lodging somewhere. Once you find the most reasonable place to travel, then you can start looking at what to do when you're there.

This is a bit ironic, but often times, the most popular tourist destinations are also the cheapest. That's because there is a lot of competition for all those travelers. So, big-named destinations like Orlando, Florida, or Las Vegas, Nevada, tend to have really good travel deals. Go popular, or go home.
