Simply put your clothing in the all in one washer dryer and go about your business. When you come back, they will be ready to fold, hang or wear.

Because they are a brand new technology in the US, all in one washer dryer units are still a bit costly and difficult to find. However, they are catching on very quickly and are in great demand, so the number of US manufacturers producing washer dryer in one combos is bound to increase.

Families with toddlers and inquisitive pets will be happy to know that all in one washer dryer combination units can be purchased with a child safety lock on the door. This is a good thing because these washer dryer units are front loaders. The front-facing door is pretty low, and could be quite a temptation for a curious pet or child.

With the all in one washer dryer you will not need ventilation. A standard clothes dryer needs to be vented, but that is not the case with this convenient, compact unit, so you can set up a washer dryer all in one in any kind of dwelling. The dryer function of your all in one washer dryer works using condensation instead of hot air. Drying takes a little longer this way, but the lack of extreme heat saves energy and wear and tear on your clothing.

In the past all in one washer dryer units weren’t as energy efficient as they are now, but as with all new technology, the bugs have been worked out more and more with each incarnation. The new washer dryer combos are smaller than the prototypes and consume less energy. They also consume less water and you don’t need as much laundry detergent to get your clothes fresh and clean. In fact, some all in one washer dryer units use a very special concentrated detergent that will do the job using just a tablespoon or so of super powered detergent.

With an all in one washer dryer you will need to wash a little more frequently due to the compact size of the unit; however, this shouldn’t be a problem since having your own washer dryer in your apartment or home is simply so much more convenient than having to haul laundry to the laundromat. An all in one washer dryer can wash and dry about 20 pounds of clothes in each load, so a single person might toss in a load of wash on the way out the door every couple of days. One option that is good for larger families is to simply get two or more all in one washer dryer combinations. One all in one washer dryer in the kitchen, one in the master bath, and one in the kids’ bath would take care of all the family wash on an immediate, as-needed basis. While this option may be a bit costly now, as time passes and technology improves, the cost of the all in one washer dryer will decrease reconfiguring the way we do wash!
