...gotta have it! I have all in one - combo ventless unit.
Small...takes time...gotta tend to it a lot.

Preference would be stacked/ separate vented dryer.
...would not , not have a w/d on our travels .

I am confused by your response. Last sentence seems to contradict your prior statement preferences. Please clarify. Thank you.

We have stacked Whirlpool w/d and wouldn't go without.
Only drawback is weight.

Now I have the all in one VENTED, I would not have the ventless, yes it takes time, I really don't mind, I had the side by side units before I will say that I think I liked it better.

We wouldn't be without our vented combo unit. It does take time but we put a load in in the morning and take it out when we come back in the afternoon.

Stacked units. Don't leave home without them. Make good clothes hampers too.

...sorry, you mis understood

If I could only have an unvented combo....that would be fine.

I would prefer a stacked / vented unit.

Point being I want what can be provided

Ok, I guess it was the double negative in the last sentence of your original post that confused me.
