Is a public laundromat your major option for getting your clothes clean?

(White)

Maybe you are spending time on a boat or RV or at a vacation cabin where standard laundry appliances are not feasible or available. Do you dread having to lug your detergent and dirty clothes to a place blocks away that may itself be dirty, loud, and irritating? Then you're among those who might find the combo dryer washer to be the solution you need. This unit is designed for those who don't have the space or high voltage electrical connection for conventional washer dryer sets or the outside venting that a regular dryer requires. The combination unit washes and dries in the same tub and is ventless. If you have access to a water faucet, drain, and standard electrical outlet, you're good to go!

Maybe you don't have to travel blocks to a laundromat, maybe you have a laundry room in your apartment complex, but it's crowded, inconvenient, and filled with machines that take your coins and then don't work. Maybe you're a senior citizen for whom the prospect of carting a hamper filled with clothes and detergent back and forth across the complex is increasingly daunting. Maybe having the option of doing laundry in the privacy and comfort of your own place sounds great! The combo dryer washer unit is so compact and portable, you can put it in a closet or under a cabinet or in a corner when not in use, then roll it over to the sink and snap the hose connections in place when you're ready to do laundry.

These front-loading, ventless, all-in-one washer dryer units have been popular in parts of Europe and Asia for many years. Compact appliances like these were developed to serve the small living spaces common in many of those areas. This does not mean the combo dryer washer is for everyone. There are trade-offs for the design. The combo units have much smaller capacity and take longer to dry than conventional sets. Drying is done by condensing water out of the air circulating through the clothes, rather than forcing hot air through and then out the vent. If you have a large family, then the limited load will be a problem. These units are at their best serving one or two people, doing multiple small loads. The LG brand tends to get the best reviews for both appearance and performance, and that brand is already familiar in the U.S. through its TV's, cell phones, computer products, and other items.
