One serious obstacle to living in a small home is that one has to compromise deeply if one wishes to have large, unwieldly modern appliances. The washing machine and dryer are two common examples. Everyone wants to save time and money by having their own washer in the house, but not everyone wants to use up precious space to house these devices. To solve this, the mini washer dryer was invented.
The mini washer dryer is a recent offering geared towards people who live in small homes. It is not suitable for student-use in dorms, but perfect for condos and apartments. The key advantage is that it does the washing and drying both in one compartment. However, buyers should know that the drying time is usually longer and that repairs are more expensive than usual.
For comparison to the mini unit, one will find three additional forms of compact washers and dryers: the stackable, portable and combo washer dryers. Stackable washer dryers are configured in a special way so that the vertical physical arrangement is the same but area consumed is smaller. A relatively new addition to the market, combo washer and dryers merge two capabilities, washing and drying, into a single machine. The portables have the smallest size of the three presented in this article.
Stackable washers and dryers occupy smaller spaces because the two appliances may be placed atop each other. Instead of requiring two spaces for both appliances, you would be merely utilizing one if you opt for stackable washers and dryers. The downside is that the dryer has to be mounted high above the floor, which makes it both hard to reach and prone to run into shelves.
Another compact appliance is the washer dryer combo that looks like just one unit about 27 inches wide. You can do both washing and drying inside a solo compartment when utilizing the combination unit. And you know what this signifies, that you could perform your washing and drying without needing space for two appliances. An additional advantage is that combo units make use of condensation drying, which calls for less energy in comparison to vented units.
Finally, the portable unit is the most compact washing appliance available in the market. They're smaller in size in comparison with either the stackable or the combo. Portable units are available in two editions. The two units include electrical and manual run portable units. Among the compact models, the portables have the most limited laundry capability.
The smallest and last resort in laundry equipment is the portable unit. Firstly, portable units are smaller as compared to combo or stackable models. Portable units are available in two models. The two forms of models are the ones powered by electricity and the one that is run manually. Keep in mind though that portables could only allow for smaller loads at the same time compared to the other types of compacts.
