My wife was advocating for an all-in-one machine, and we may yet get one -- you put in the laundry and leave it and come back to clean dry clothes. We have room in the first floor half bath to fit one; or even a set of compact stackable units.
But the capacity is not all that big, and with a standalone washer, you can use the solar powered clothes dryer in the yard (the clothesline) or you can stick 'em in the dryer. Also, if something breaks, you don't lose it all.
