Upgrade to eco-friendly laundry: Profile UltraFast Combo
We all know the biggest pain point for all-in-one washer-dryer laundry machines is the amount of time it takes to wash and dry a load – sometimes up to eight hours, which uses a lot of energy!

The Profile UltraFast Combo lets you wash and dry a load of laundry in about two hours. Since it’s an all in one machine, you don’t have to transfer the load. Also, it’s ventless so you can even put it in any small space like a closet. The Profile UltraFast Combo is environmentally friendly. The ductless heat pump technology delivers 50% more energy-efficient drying compared to a regular dryer.
