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.
