Built-In Washer Dryers

Washer dryers let you complete laundry in one appliance, which means you will save space and time. They also provide superior care for your clothes with low temperature drying.

The integrated dryers of Teka are designed to resemble front-loading washing machines, but they also come with tumblers. Combining two standalone appliances, they reduce the energy consumption and (in vented models) need no exhaust.

Space-saving

In contrast to separate appliances cheapest integrated washing machines washer dryers consume just half the floor space. They are perfect for small laundry rooms and apartments. You can also tuck them away in closets or corners. This appliance doubles as a substitute for the necessity of moving a wet load from your washer to your dryer, since it's already in the drying cycle when you open the door.

While stacking units are the most popular, you can also choose top-loading units that are mounted on pedestals or walls. Whatever you decide to choose you'll require at least 29" of space to install a washer/dryer that is stacked. You'll require between 6 and 8 inches behind the machines for ventilation and at least one inch between the appliances and back wall to allow for proper airflow.

You can also save room by opting for a side-byside model. These appliances are usually less expensive than stacked models, and provide ample storage for detergents, fabric softeners, and other laundry essentials. If you are looking to maximize storage space in a small laundry room, consider options like racks that are over the door and hanging racks. These racks allow you to keep your items hidden and organized without occupying valuable flooring space.

If you are concerned about the cost to run a washer and dryer combination, look for models with an excellent MEF (Modified energy factor) rating. This ensures that they are as efficient as is possible. A lot of manufacturers offer programs that reduce energy consumption up to 23% when compared with air drying. This can help you save time and money.

Consider investing in a washer dryer with useful features and settings. The Miele WTD165's Variable Temperature feature allows you to wash delicate and heavily soiled fabric in a single cycle.

Energy efficiency

The washer and dryer consume a lot of energy. In fact, they comprise approximately a third of the household's energy bill in the United States. While cooling and heating account for most of your energy use but laundry is the second biggest use for your appliances. This is the reason it's essential to purchase energy-efficient washer and dryer models that carry an ENERGY STAR label. These models use up to 75 percent less energy and water than older agitator washing machines.

If you're looking to further reduce the energy use of your home look into a heat pump washer-dryer. These models work like dryers that are standard however, they rely on heat exchangers instead of air. The heat exchanger has huge fins to help in the transfer of heat. When water flows through the machine, it absorbs heat, and then transfer it to the drying process. In turn, the warm moisture is extracted from the fabric and then disposed of into the drain hose. Then, a cool flow of water is drawn from the faucet to replenish it.

There are also integrated dryers for washing with a variety of cycles for drying and fitted washing machine fabrics. For instance, you can choose a quick 15 cycle, which uses less energy and is perfect for small quantities of clothing that are not heavily soiled. The Daily 39 program is great for daily loads that are soiled and the Full Wash 60 cycle can handle bulky and heavy clothing.

In addition, many all-in one washer-dryers don't need vents to ensure dryness because they use condensation to dry your clothes. This process can take a little longer than traditional dryers, but it saves you the cost and hassle of putting in an exhaust system in your home.

When you are looking for a brand new washer and dryer that is electric ensure you check its energy efficiency rating and ENERGY STAR label. Look for a higher IMEF (Integrated Modified energy factor) and a low kWh/load. ENERGY STAR certified dryers typically use 20 to 60 percent less energy than conventional dryers. They also come with moisture sensors that more accurately determine when the clothes are dry, which reduces the energy use.

Noise

A combination washer and dryer is a great option to save space in your laundry room, however the spin noise can be louder than standalone models. People who wish to reduce noise pollution should choose an appliance with an average spin noise of less than 70 db. Andrew Brown, a technician at This Fixed House who fixes appliances, suggests that quieter machines can stop noise from impacting other rooms.

An effective way to minimize noise is to ensure that both the dryer and washer have a balanced weight. Unbalanced pairs can rock when they are running, creating vibrations and noise. This can be prevented by using a stacking washer-dryer kit that secures the top unit to the bottom unit.
