Washer-dryer

A combi washer dryer (also known more simply as a washer dryer in the UK) is a combination in a single cabinet of an autowasher and a tumble dryer. It should not be confused with a "stacked" combination of a separate autowasher and a separate tumble dryer.

One of the main advantages of washer dryers is their compactness. The small size of these machines, compared to the total space consumed by a separate autowasher and tumble dryer, suits them to small homes, apartments, condominiums, and any place where space is an issue. Aside from having a small footprint, combo units also have a small height, allowing them to fit into confined places, like under a kitchen counter or in a closet. Another key advantage is the ability to wash and dry clothes in a single cycle, without the need to transfer laundry between two machines.
