Combined washer dryers have been getting a lot of attention from consumers, and they’ve become popular big sellers. The technology uses a moisture collection system, rather than a conventional dryer system, to extract water from the materials.

Washer dryers are very efficient, and really do provide a two in one effect. The big appeal of washer dryers is that they’re so convenient to operate. They can do both jobs, save space, and save time and handling moving wet clothes to a separate dryer.

Washer dryers are typically front loaders. That design provides a few options for those who want the convenience of a front loader and space saving features. Not having to use two machines definitely makes life a lot simpler when you don’t really have the space.

• Loads for washing and drying: You’ll see the washer dryers advertised as “7kg/3.5kg” in their product descriptions. This means the washer will wash 7.5kg and dry 3.5kg.
• Energy efficiency: A typical washer dryer will operate both wash and drying systems with an energy star rating around 3 to 3.5. That’s a good saving on a machine which operates at between 1800W for the dryer and up to 2000W for the washer.

Top of the range washer dryers include a range of useful features:

• Allergy care systems
• Steam clean refresh for your clothes
•  Water re-circulating technology, saving water while you wash
• 4.5 star water rating
• Up to 9kg wash and 5kg dry capacity

If you’re looking for a washer dryer, all you really need to consider is the practical issues. The dryer load can be used to split up washes into easy to manage groups, like the kids clothes, sports gear, your clothes, etc. Ask the retailer for some options, and you’ll find you can get the washer dryer you need to do everything. Also ask your retailer about deals. There are always good deals available, even on top brands. You can save a few hundred dollars with a phone call.
