How to Save Space In Your Laundry Room With a Washer Dryer Combo Machine

Is the space in your laundry room cramped or non-existent? There are ways you can make more space in your laundry area without remodeling or adding on to your house. Consider purchasing a washer dryer combo unit. This is an all in one machine, which does the washing and drying. There are many models available by more and more manufacturers. These space saving units have been popular in Europe for quite awhile and are just now catching on the US.

Who should use a Combination Washer Dryer Machine?

There are many advantages to using a combo unit to get your laundry done.

* These units take up less space than a tradition washing machine and separate dryer.

* They cost less. You can also purchase a combo unit for less than what it would cost you for a washing machine and dryer.

* These combo machines typically use less water than a traditional washer.

* Units are front loading. You don’t have to worry about overhead space like you would have to with a traditional washing machine.

* Easy installation. You will be able to find models which don’t need any special waterlines and instead connect to a kitchen faucet.

* Regular installation. You will also be able to find models which connect like a traditional washing machine, with a dedicated water line.

* Great for RV’s! These combo washer dryer units are a great way to have a laundry area in your RV. The space saving features and the low water usages of the machines make them the ideal laundry solution for full time recreational vehicle users and weekend warriors also.

* No laundry room? Even if you don’t have a dedicated laundry area, you most likely will still be able to find space for one of these units. Just think about it, weekly trips to the laundromat will be a thing of the past. You will be able to do laundry in the comfort of your own home and on your own schedule, when it’s convenient for you.

* Set it and go. Throw your dirty clothes in the machine and when the cycle is done, your clothes will be fresh and dry! You won’t have to worry about forgetting to leave wet clothes in the washing machine. You also won’t have to move the wet clothes into the dryer. This one machine will finish the load from start to finish.

The Negative Aspects of Using a Washing and Drying Combo Machine

* Smaller size. While smaller sizes is a benefit, it can also be a disadvantage as well. Loads will be laundry smaller than with traditional machines.

* Not as many models to choose from versus traditional laundry machines.

* Using liquid soaps. Most combo units specify liquid detergents are to be used. For me this really isn’t a negative, it’s what I prefer but the same may not be true for you.
