In Our Repair Services

The thought of being able to drop all your dirty laundry into the wash before heading out to work and come home to thoroughly clean, dry clothes sounds like a dream, doesn’t it? Well, that dream can be a reality with a washer-dryer combo. In their simplest form, these machines are a combination of a front-loading washing machine and a condenser clothes dryer, and are almost the size of an individual standalone washer.

Are These 2-In-1 Machines Worth It?

These machines offer all the programs, modes and features of any mid-to-high-end washer and dryer product. It means they can do everything that a standalone washer and electric dryer can do, but with only 50% of the footprint. It means these machines are truly worth it, especially if you have a smaller living space.

Pros and Cons of Washer-Dryer Combos

Let’s take a closer look at the pros and cons of these washer-dryer combos:

Pros

Using a Washing Machine Properly
With the correct washer-dryer combo, you will be able to enjoy more happy days!
  • The washing performance can be compared to a similar standalone appliance.
  • You can wash & dry all your clothes without any manual intervention.
  • It has half the footprint of two individual appliances.
  • You have the option to wash or dry independently; use it as a standard washer if you like, and use the dryer function in case of emergencies.
  • The appliance and its operating costs are almost on par with that of a separate front-loading washer & an electric dryer.

Cons

  • At any point, you can dry only half the capacity of the total wash.
  • Some machines use up to 210 liters to dry; this amount is over what you use for washing.
  • Heat-pump combos are quite expensive and complicated but are more energy-efficient.
  • Some combos do not fit under a bench. You need to check the dimensions correctly, especially if you are placing it under a bench.
  • There was a time when washer-dryer combos were considered to be the least reliable of laundry appliances. But modern-day systems are quite advanced and far more reliable.
