The mini washer dryer is a combination washing machine and dryer that has been around for a number of years. It is designed not just to be smaller, but to be portable, solving two of the biggest issues facing people who don’t have the space necessary for the conventional washer and dryer set. Below we take a look at what benefits can be had from getting this type of appliance.

1. If you are looking at this type of machine, it is likely you are in an apartment or condo where you don’t have regular laundry appliance space. You are expected to use the laundry room or laundromat.

Because space is always a concern in these situations, the mini washer dryer is small enough to fit in even the smallest of homes. Because it both cleans and dries in one tub, you only need one unit, not two.

2. Because you likely don’t have built in hookups for laundry, you need an appliance that just doesn’t need them. This unit is designed to roll into a corner or closet when you don’t need it, and then attach to the kitchen faucet or similar water source when you do need it. Because it is ventless, it doesn’t need piping to the outside to vent heat or lint.

3. Although the cost of purchasing a mini washer dryer may seem high over the life time of its use it can save you quite a bit of money. It uses considerably less detergent, water, and power than the standard washer and dryer set. Plus you aren’t plunking money into a cost per use machine like you have been doing in the laundry room.

This adds up over time, so the longer you have the mini washer dryer, the more the savings over against the machines you pay to use each time.

4. Really the main reason for you choosing to opt for a mini washer dryer in your home is that it offers you the convenience to do laundry in your own home, without having to lug laundry across the complex, down the stairs, or down the street to the laundromat.

Maybe those places have hours that don’t match your availability. Maybe those places are dirty, noisy, or crowded, with machines that take your money and then don’t work right! With the mini washer dryer you can start the laundry when you leave for work, and when you return the clothes are clean and dry!

A lot of people will have heard about the combo washer dryer appliances now available, but very few understand what they are. Once they do find out about them they have several questions that they need answered before investing in such equipment.

What is it able to do for me?
How much is it going to cost to run this type of equipment?
Where can I put it?
How dependable are these types of machines?

Below we are going to offer you some answers to these questions and as a result may help you to determine if purchasing a combo washer dryer is right for you.

The main thing this appliance will do for you is give you the option to do laundry in the comfort and convenience of your own home, as opposed to driving to a laundromat or lugging the basket to a laundry room. If you are in a residence that doesn’t provide built in hookups for a washer and dryer, you simply can’t buy a standard appliance set, it won’t work. This machine doesn’t require those hookups.

Virtually all of the combo washer dryers one can purchase today are Energy Star certified so you can be assured that they use a great deal less energy to power them. In many cases these types of machines use far less energy than your conventional washer or dryer does. The reason that these machines use less energy is that they don’t need to force hot air out of them through a vent to the exterior of your home. Plus you save money as these machines use much less water than a conventional washing machine in many cases up to 60% less. Over time, it will cost you less to run than putting money into laundromat machines.

These appliances are very small in comparison to a regular washer dryer set. They can be fit into apartments, condos, RV’s, or other places that don’t have a place for the other appliances. Plus as these machines don’t need to run piping to the exterior you don’t have to spend money on creating a hole in the wall of your home to allow the venting system to run through, even if the landlord would allow that!

Of course you want to find the best brand with the best reputation for quality and service. That said, it should be of some comfort to know that developers are now building in these same kinds of machines to new high-end apartment complexes or luxury RV’s. It’s not an unknown item any more. If taken care of correctly as you would other such appliances, the combo washer dryer should last for years.
