11 WAYS TO COMPLETELY REVAMP YOUR WASHER AND DRYER COMBINATION Washer and Dryer Combos Combination washer and dryers are an excellent alternative for apartments and condominiums which don't have laundry hookups. They function as a front load washer, but with the added benefit of a dryer integrated in. They can also be used in homes with conventional water connections by using a Y-connector and faucet adapter. There are many reasons why homeowners utilize these units. Space Savings Washer dryer combinations take up only a small portion of the space in your laundry room required to accommodate a separate washing machine and tumble dryer. Some units are even smaller than standard dishwashers [source: Creative Laundry Systems]. These compact washer and dryer units are ideal for small homes and apartments condos, condominiums, and other places with limited storage space. The majority of washer dryer combination units also have a short height, allowing them to fit in tight spaces, like under counters or in a closet. Combination washers combine the washing capabilities of front load washers and dryer features in one unit and their performance is usually on par with standalone washing machines. A washer-dryer combo reduces space since it eliminates the requirement for a dryer. Most washer-dryer combos in one are vented units. They connect to the piping in your home and vent through the wall. Some combinations are also available as ventless models that don't require any venting. Whether you choose a ventless or vented model, these models can be placed in any room that have access to electricity and water. Most washer dryer combination units have a drum that holds the wet laundry during the wash cycle. Depending on the model the drum could have paddles or an agitator to aid in the thorough cleaning of the laundry and remove stains and dirt. After the wash cycle has been completed, the machine will enter a drying phase that can last for up to an hour. During this time, the dryer will spin your laundry to ensure that it is dry to the maximum. Once the drying cycle is completed, the washer will enter a cooling down phase to prevent wrinkles and make the clothes easier to manage. The dryer will inform you the time when your laundry is ready to be taken away once the cooling phase is completed. The light will flash in most units once the laundry is ready to be removed. Some models may have an indicator on their control panel to let you know when it's done. Convenience Washer dryer combos save space by combining the functions of a washing machine and a clothes dryer into one unit. Washer dryer combos have only one connection, unlike separate washing machines and clothes dryers that require separate vents and water connections. This makes them ideal for small and apartment homes. Washer dryer combinations also allow you to wash and dry clothes in one step, eliminating the need to transfer your laundry from a washing machine drying equipment and back. This can save time and effort during your laundry routine making it a practical choice for busy families. All-in-one units are usually designed to be smaller than a dishwasher which allows them to easily slide under your kitchen counter or in a closet when they are not being used. They are also a great choice for those who live in smaller homes or apartments because they can save valuable floor space in the laundry room and kitchen. The compact design of washer dryer combo units can also save you money on your utility bills. They are quieter and use less energy than standalone appliances. A combo washer and dryer may offer all the features and programs that a standalone dryer and washer can provide. Because of their compact design and lower capacity, all-in-one units are typically less powerful than standalone washers and dryers. Additionally drying for all-in-one units can take longer than the drying cycle for standalone dryers, which may result in an increase in energy bills. During the drying process the all-in-one washer dryer combinations have sensors which monitor the level of moisture in your clothes. The sensors enable the dryer to stop drying your clothes when they are dry. This reduces energy consumption and stops overdrying. Some models come with additional features, such as wrinkle prevention and static control to further enhance the drying process. Energy Efficiency One of the primary reasons why people choose combo washer dryers is because they are typically more energy efficient than individual appliances. This depends on the model and manufacturer of the washer dryer combination. These appliances are smaller than an individual dryer or washer, so they use less energy. Many of these machines also make use of cold water instead of hot water, which is more efficient. The time it takes a washer/dryer combination to dry a load is another aspect that impacts the efficiency of energy. Certain dryers have high maximum spin speeds that means they can dry a load in much less time than conventional dryers. Some dryers have advanced moisture sensors that keep track of internal temperatures and humidity levels to stop over-drying, which can reduce energy consumption and protect the fabric. Check for the Energy Star label if you are concerned about your washer/dryer's energy consumption. It is a certification that indicates that the appliance has been tested to meet the strictest standards for energy efficiency. Additionally, you can find CEE or NSF ratings that provide similar information. Abt offers a wide selection of energy-efficient washer/dryer combos depending on whether you're concerned about the environment, want to reduce your energy bills, or have a small space at home. They are available in ventless and vented versions according to the needs of the customer and the location they will be placed. Ventless units are more popular among those who live in apartments or live in small spaces. These units transfer the heat from your laundry to the air inside your home, meaning you don't need vents for your dryer or ductwork. They are usually smaller than vented models as well. They are great for people who live in apartments or those with plenty of closet space. A lot of these appliances can be stacked which will reduce the footprint of your laundry room. Some of these units are also compatible with pedestals for laundry that can raise the dryer and washer to allow easier access. Easy of Use The convenience of dryer and washer combos makes them an ideal option for anyone looking to make their laundry easier. These washer and dryer combos are ideal for those who live in cities, where space is limited or for busy families who are eager to come home to their dry, clean laundry after an exhausting day at work. They're also a great option for two-person or one-person households, as they are able to accommodate the same amount of laundry of a separate washing machine and dryer in less space than two separate appliances. Combination washer dryers are usually front-loaded, which makes them easier to load, and delivering better efficiency because you can pull out your clean laundry and then transfer it to the dryer while it's still wet. They're also easy to clean with their stainless steel or durable plastic construction that is resistant to stains and scratches. Some models even have a built-in water softener and stain remover that helps reduce the amount of detergent and fabric softener you use by keeping your clothes looking and feeling new. These all-in-one laundry solutions are water- and energy-efficient, with advanced sensors that monitor the progress of the cycle and minimize both water and energy consumption to maximize performance and savings. This is not just saving you money on energy bills but also contributes to sustainable development of the environment. They're also easy to use and most models come with touchscreens that allow you to choose and control cycles and settings. You can choose the desired cycle and determine the start and end times for each process, and adjust the temperature, spin speed and the level of water. You can also add laundry additives like bleach and fabric softener to the dispensers or trays. The agitator or paddles within the drum release these products at the right time during each cycle to provide a thorough cleaning and help your fabrics look their best [source: Whirlpool]. Certain washer dryer combos have a smaller capacity as compared to standalone appliances. This could be problematic for large households or those who have heavy-duty washing requirements. These units can also have longer cycles because they combine drying and cleaning functions into one machine. This could be frustrating for some users.
