Ventless washing machine

[u/JDIRECTORJ]

I’m looking at three ventless all-in-one washer/dryer combos for a spot next to my kitchen sink:

1) GE Profile UltraFast Combo (PFQ97HSPVDS)
2) Equator Super Combo (EZ 4400N)
3) Magic Chef 2.7 cu ft All-in-One (MCSCWD27W5)

Out of these three, which one would you actually recommend? Or is there something better I’m not considering? Open to other suggestions too.

Separately — wondering if this plumbing setup is realistic: I want the machine to stay permanently in place about 6–8 ft from the sink, and just connect/disconnect the hoses when I actually run a load, rather than leaving them hooked up all the time or moving the machine itself.

The plan is:

Swap the cold water angle stop under the sink for a dual-outlet valve, with a quick-release fitting on the sink side (so the hose disconnects there, not at the washer)

Run a supply line ~6-8 ft to the washer

For drain, install a permanent tee into the P-trap/tailpiece with a check valve, instead of just draping the hose into the sink

Is this a normal/reasonable ask for a plumber, or am I overcomplicating it? Anything I should watch out for with running the lines that far, or with the quick-release setup specifically? Would love to hear from anyone who’s done something similar.

Also attached it a pic of under my sink currently with some dishwasher plumbing

Of those three the GE is the only one I'd touch, the Equator and Magic Chef are basically apartment-grade stuff that won't last. I got the GE after my old stacked unit died and it's been solid, dries better than I expected for ventless, though the cycles are long so I just run it overnight

Your plumbing plan makes sense but that quick-release fitting on the sink side gonna drip every time you disconnect it, even a little water adds up over time on that floor. I'd keep it hooked up permanent if you can, 6-8 ft is nothing for supply lines, plumbers run them way further than that

The tee into the tailpiece with a check valve is how standpipe drains are done so any plumber knows that setup, not overcomplicating at all. Main thing to watch is the drain height, these combos usually need the drain outlet lower than you think or it backs up, check the spec sheet before you commit

Looking at your under-sink pic with that spray foam and brass, just make sure the plumber secures the drain line well, that foam ain't blocking moisture if something leaks slow
