European All In One Washer Dryers


Although all in one washer dryer combo units have been available for quite some time in Europe, they have only recently been introduced in the United States. European all in one washer dryers let you wash and dry clothes in the same unit. Simply put the clothes in the washer dryer unit, add detergent, and turn it on. The unit will wash your clothes, and then it will dry them. There is no need for you to move wet, heavy clothes from one machine into another. Because you only need one unit to do both your washing and drying, you will save a lot of space. You will also save yourself some heavy lifting as well.


If you have a small child, make sure that you purchase a unit with child locks. Because most combination units are front loading and the door is fairly close to the ground, it is easy for a child to get inside. Child locks can help prevent your child from getting hurt.Unlike most dryer units, most combination units do not require ventilation. This, along with their small size, makes them ideal for apartment dwellers. Combination units dry your clothes by means of condensation instead of just hot air like traditional dryers so they do not need to be ventilated to the outside. Because of this, the combination units take longer to dry your clothes. However, some experts believe that this method of drying is better for your clothes.One downside to these recent models is their expense. Because relatively few American manufactures are making these all in one units, they can charge more for them. Demand for these space savers is strong enough that people will pay the higher prices. Expect to pay around one hundred dollars more than what a similar unit would cost in Europe.Another downside to combo washer dryer units is their relatively small capacity. These combination units can only process ten to fifteen pounds of clothing at one time. Separate washer and dryer units can wash and dry around twenty pounds of clothing per load. Larger families often opt for the standard separate units so that they will have fewer loads of clothes that need to be washed. For small families and single person homes, however, these all in one units can be an excellent option.

If you have a small child, make sure that you purchase a unit with child locks. Because most combination units are front loading and the door is fairly close to the ground, it is easy for a child to get inside. Child locks can help prevent your child from getting hurt.

A DRINK-DRIVER who knocked down and killed a pedestrian on a crossing in County Durham while unable to see out of her icy windscreen has been jailed for two years.

Judge John Evans, sitting at Durham Crown Court, said Elgie had been "driving blind". She told police after the collision that she had originally de-iced the car but the windscreen froze over again when she switched on the washer and used her wipers.
