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!

If you are live in an apartment where space is limited and would like to be able to wash and dry clothes in your own home, the compact washer dryer is something to consider. Yes, it would be an investment of money, but money that would buy you important benefits. Below we take a look at what some of these benefits are.

The first benefit is that you save yourself money. Think about what you pay over time to use machines in a laundromat or laundry room. Despite the initial cost, over a few years this machine will pay for itself.

The second benefit is that this appliance is pretty cheap to run. It uses less detergent, much less water, and far less electricity than regular washer and dryer sets.

The third benefit is cleaner clothes. Yes, this little machine is gentler on your clothes because it uses condensation rather than forced super heated air to dry clothes, so the laundry tends to hold onto colors better. The front load design cleans more efficiently than the agitator design found in most laundry rooms, and the high rate of spin used will force soap residue out better.

The fourth benefit is comfort and convenience for you. Wouldn’t you rather do laundry on your own time than fit into the schedule of a laundry room? Wouldn’t you rather be able to do laundry without leaving your home? Because the compact washer dryer does not need special hookups and it’s portable, it gives you the freedom to leave the laundromat behind.

As you can see from the above points, there are quite a few benefits to be gained from investing in a combination washer dryer. However, only do so if you are someone who does not have large amounts of washing to do as the compact washer dryer is not capable of holding large amounts of items for washing at any one time.

Before you invest money in a combo dryer washer for your home there are certain things that you will need to take into consideration. These machines don’t work in the same way as a separate washing machine and dryer would. So they really may not be suitable for your particular washing requirements.

In order to help you determine if purchasing such a machine is going to be beneficial to you we take a look at some of the things that you need to consider first.

How much washing do you intend to do?

If you are someone who tends to do large amounts of washing at any one time you may find that a combo dryer washer cannot cope with what you need it to do. On average these types of machines are designed to only hold around 15lbs of clothes at any given time, whereas a more traditional washing machine has the ability to hold up to 22lbs.

How dry do you want to get your clothes?

These machines are not designed to dry the clothes out completely as you would expect with a conventional dryer. These machines do not allow super heated air to pass through the clothes as they would with a conventional dryer because they don’t have the facility to vent the heat outside. Instead to dry the clothes these types of combo machines use a condensation method for drying. This tends to leave a light residue of moisture, however, this will disappear quickly with a few minutes of airing.

How quickly do you want the process of washing and drying to take?

If you are someone who likes to have their washing and drying done very quickly then the combo dryer washer machines available won’t be suitable for your purposes. Normally with a conventional washing machine and dryer you can expect the whole process to take no longer than 75 minutes, however with a combo expect the process to take quite a bit longer. What many folks do is turn the combo dryer washer on before they leave for work and then let it run its course. Because it washes and dries in the same tub, there’s no need for you to be around to move the wet clothes to another unit for drying.

If you are fine with these three issues, then this appliance may work well for you, if you live in a place where the standard washer and dryer set won’t fit or is not built in. The combination washer dryer gives you the ability to bypass the usual venting to the outside and large space required with the regular laundry appliances. With only a few drawbacks, the combo dryer washer gives you freedom from laundry rooms and laundromats!
