Electricity is cheap here, 12 cents/KwH. I more liked the not ruining clothes aspect and not using the vent means I can get the unit closer to the wall. But I was worried about the smell complaints, my wife is really strict on that, also we have a combo so we can’t pipeline loads anymore. The drawback is that only Samsung makes a vented combo, an Samsung doesn’t have the best reputation. Heat pump was cheaper than ve…
Ah, right. After having had a washer-dryer for about 15 years (they're very common in apartments and small houses in Ireland), would never have one again; when the existing one finally died I replaced with a separate washer and dryer. I'm somewhat surprised anyone makes a vented washer-dryer at all.

Is it possible that people just think differently than you? Or is everyone else wrong?
Or perhaps the individual's dollar is not really that effective. It's like plastic recycling -- it is a way to make the consumer feel like it is their job to fix things that they really have no responsibility for or control over.

If you don't feel disgusted by the idea of your poop particles being ejected and spreading around, I don't think anyone can instill it in you
How much does the door help? I think generally people don't follow hygiene to the point that particles anywhere in the bathroom won't get tracked out of the bathroom. Don't get me started on people who touch their phones while eating...

I once stayed at a very boutiquey, avant-garde hotel with a platonic friend. We had booked a twin room with separate beds, but what I did not expect was that the shower cubicle, with clear glass on all three sides, would be placed between the beds.
I've seen a glass shower where the glass turned to smoked opaque glass with the push of a button. Maybe this shower had something similar?
But this is no excuse, still completely awkward and horrible design.

Yes, of course, we are not barbarians. (Just to be clear: I think doors on bathrooms are great. I just don't think they really contribute to hygiene or health--apart from mental health.)
Airborne fecal contamination from flushing is likely reduced by having a barrier
