I suspect the answer is mostly yes
Really?
Heat pumps are cheaper to run (assuming you exclude purchase price in your calculations) and are apparently gentler on clothes, but they are also way slower and can't be repaired economically.
As for washing machines, interior led lights are great and they're lighter on water and more energy efficient, but again there's no huge leap IME.
My experience being going from a shit 7-10yr washing machine to a new Bosch. Obviously a balanced machine with new bearings is a beautiful thing... so quiet.

For context, we have a Bosch washer and Bocsh dryer, the later of which now trips the RCD if we try to run it. We inherited both with the house. So, we know we need a dryer, I'm interested to know if a combined unit is as good as the ten year old pair we've had, thanks to iterative improvements over those years. I suspect the answer is mostly yes, but a pair of specialised units would be better again, but more space hungry, and the 'betterness' marginal to us.
