Washer / Dryer Combo
Does any one have the new machine that is both a washing machine and a dryer? We are thinking about getting one, but i don't know of any one who has had one.
Any opinions on them?

no, not the stackable, the ones that are both machines in one, here is a link to one:

Re: Washer / Dryer Combo
I never saw that before. But the the first thing that comes to my mind is that you can only do one load at a time with that. I think that would be a pain.

Re: Washer / Dryer Combo
thats true, but space is a big concern where we live, that would give us so much storage room. I wish I knew some one that had one!

Re: Washer / Dryer Combo
We have them here in the UK and they are fairly common. However, the ones that we have here are not great. I don't know anyone who raves about them, they don't get the clothes 100% dry, just mostly dry.
I don't know about the ones in the US, but they are probably better!

thanks for the imput, I know they have been around for a while and I have not heard much about them which I figured was not a good thing.

Re: Washer / Dryer Combo
I live in an apt so we have an all in one, like this one
I would personally be afraid of the kind you are referring to. water + electricity 
also, like someone mentioned, you would only be able to do 1 load at a time.

Re: Washer / Dryer Combo
these combos dry in a ventless system - i do not think there is any great ventless dryer yet
if there is a choice i would get a stackable with a vented dryer
if you read the combo LG one - it takes like 4-6 hours for a load - and watch a lot of the drying times are for half the size of the washing load
read very careful is my suggestion

We've had them in Ireland too for a very long time. My dad has apartments rented out and has them kitted out with the washer/dryer combo. They are more suited to a small load for one person and do the job pretty well - he never had any problems with any unit and he bought quite a few.
I just saw one in Sears on Saturday and was explaining to DH what it was. I can't believe they haven't taken off over here, but, like I said they wouldn't really be suitable for a family.

I believe Ang-Rich has one, I remember her speaking about it on the home boards.

Re: Washer / Dryer Combo
I love the space saving concept of them and I am pretty sure you can program some models to start at a particular time which would be great for towels, sheets, etc. But I don't tumble dry a lot of my clothes so while part of one load is drying, I am stuck and can't wash another load of clothes. I think I would end up doing laundry more frequently.

Re: Washer / Dryer Combo
Another UKer here...we had one in the last apartment we were in and I hated it!! You could never dry as much as you washed (maybe that's just me overloading the washing machine???  ) and the fact taht you couldn't wash while you dried - ie only one load at a time really annoyed me!! I would rather do smaller loads more often, so if I had the choice, I would've opted for a stackable...

Re: Washer / Dryer Combo
I had one is my co-op but left it when we sold. The wash/dry cylce takes hours and the drum is very small so you can only do a small load at a time . Its great when you don't have space or get wierded out by laundry services and laundry mats -like me
I liked it but dont miss it now that I have space for full-size machines and can do laundry less frequently.
I had a chrome one from LG..

Yup! We have one in our co-op. We've had of for about 4 years now and I love it. The brand is Equator.
Don't get me wrong - a regular front load washer and drier is the best but if you are short on space and want ventless...this is great. It's just the two of us in our place and we are able to keep up with the laundry. Let me know if you have any questions.
