In the past few years there has been a new player in the field of laundry machines-the washer dryer combo. A washer dryer combo is designed to take up less space than both a stackable washer dryer and a side-by-side washer dryer. The washer dryer combo has one very important distinguishing factor--you wash and dry in the same machine!

Disadvantages:

One of the most common problems with a washer dryer combo is that it can only handle very small loads of laundry.

How valuable is your time? For one load of laundry that weighs just under five pounds, it will take 4 hours to complete in this combo system. When the load finishes washing, the dryer can only dry half of a full wash load at a time. What this means is that you then have to remove half of the load from the washer dryer combo, then replace it after the other half has dried.

Advantages Of A Washer Dryer Combo:

One advantage of a washer dryer combo is the price of the machine. The least expensive washer dryer combo is comparable to an inexpensive a stackable washer and dryer.

Another advantage is the actual expense of using the combo system. It is energy efficient, which will save you some money on your utilities.

Spatial advantage of a washer dryer combo is beneficial, especially if you live in a studio apartment or small home. The washer dryer combo utilizes space extremely well.

The combo machine has both disadvantages and advantages. If you are in the market for such a combination, do some online research. Go into different stores to see the different types of washing machines, dryers, stackables, and combos. Choose wisely, and be rewarded!
