Newmar switched from Whirlpool to Splendide during the 2020 model years due to complaints with the stacked Whirlpools. The stacked Splendides work but naturally not as well as the S&B units. Set up the dryer to exhaust outside. Not sure if all the combo units are set up to exhaust outside.
The Splendines come both vented and ventless. - Ro_n_JoeExplorer IINewmar switched from Whirlpool to Splendide during the 2020 model years due to complaints with the stacked Whirlpools.

- Edd505ExplorerSplendide 2100XC about 3 years now works well doing loads every few days, 15lb max. We pull shirts just before dry and hang they to remove wrinkles. Had an issue & tech support was great, ID'd the issue in a phone call, simple fix. Exhaust line sagged and blocked flow, I did not shorten and over time the sag made a V. Cut to length problem solved.
- memtbExplorerWe have a GE Washer and GE Dryer Space Saver series. They were used for full timing for 7 years. We now use them on a limited basis. They are extremely quite, and virtually vibration free....you have have to turn off the television and listen carefully to see if they are still running. They also have a pretty remarkable load capacity. Also, they are “stackable”, 110/120 volt units!
As these are old units, I cannot attest to the quality of those produced today! Hopefully, the quality is remotely close to that of yesteryear! memtb - Cummins12V98Explorer IIIAlmost 5 years full time use Bosch 500 series washer 220v. LOVE IT
Whirlpool 220v dryer.
Both units are 24” wide. - navigator2346ExplorerSplendide combo unit for us. We have the room for stacked units but would loose storage.
The current Splendide unit we have is 19 years old and all I have done to it is replace the water pump once - mowermechExplorerWe lived with a Splendide combo unit, external vent, for a couple of years full timing in a fiver. It worked great for us. When space is at a premium, having a single unit instead of two stacked up was rather nice, in our opinion. YMMV.
- pianotunaNomad IIIStacked would be my vote.
- gboppExplorerI have a combo unit, it's okay. If I replaced it or when I get another RV it will be a stacked unit.
I think you will be happier with a stacked W/D. - TechWriterExplorerWe had a Splendide combo which worked ok, but after it gave up the ghost, we decided to install an Ariston washer and a dryer.
One of the best RV buys we've ever done. It's faster than a combo unit. However, since the dryer is 110V, not 220V, don't expect it to compete with household dryers. But we're not in a hurry so it doesn't matter.
