One thing I pride myself on is the ability to see through my dryer's bullshit. I know that 30 minutes really means 45 you damn liar.
Yeah I should have known, started the thing at 12:26 (actually know this because I called my wife to check if we had 3 hours and 38 minutes before we needed to go), its 17:18 and I just got the door open....
If you haven't already, clean the dryer vent thoroughly, including the whole exhaust vent leading outside. This should be done at least once a year. Once the vent is clear it should speed up drying, if not it might be the dryer itself and the manual might have solutions.

It took almost 5 hours to the dry the clothes?
It's a washer and dryer, so it did both
We had one of these combos at an Airbnb I stayed at in Iceland. I'd never seen or used one before and I was flabbergasted to see it took like 4-5 hours to wash and dry the tiniest load of laundry! Not gonna take my big ass washer and dryer for granted anymore haha.
I wish we had the space to have separate machines for washing and drying, it's a lot better unless if you're a single guy with minimal amount of clothes to wash.
Even with wife and a toddler it does fine, but you just need to be strategic on what you wash and when
