They Take way longer, have way more parts to break, typically it’s only euro manufacturers which make them and in turn it’s much harder to get parts etc.

We have a separate washer and dryer unit however our dryer is a “condensing” unit as in it has no vent, it basically collects all the water through condensation and then dumps it out the same pipe as the washer. A full cycle of towels takes approx 3.5 hours to wash and dry. I believe most of the 2 in 1 combos work like this.

I like it because it doesn’t “fry” your clothes, but it’s sometimes inconvenient. Also these units will likely cost as much if not more than a combo 2 peice standard units. So you have to weigh that cost factor in.

Like for my “apartment sized” LG washer and condensing dryer, we paid almost $2600. If you can get regular sized stackers a good combo is only like $1300 for both.
