- RiderOfGiraffes 17y agoWith regards the first item on his list, in the UK we have things called "Washer-Driers" which both wash and dry clothes. I find it hard to believe that the USA doesn't have such a thing, but the evidence suggests this to be the case. Curious. And it's been mentioned before on HN http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=602515 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=602515 For some reason the comments there suggest the models used don't work very well. Mine works beautifully. And regularly.
- zck 17y agoI'm in the US, and I've seen them (here's one at Target: http://www.target.com/Haier-Front-Load-Washer-Dryer-Combo/dp/B000QFGY7C/ref=br_1_4?ie=UTF8&frombrowse=1&searchView=grid5&searchNodeID=10917091&node=10917091&searchRank=pmrank&searchPage=1&searchSize=30&id=Haier%20Front-Load%20Washer%20Dryer%20Combo http://www.target.com/Haier-Front-Load-Washer-Dryer-Combo/dp...). From what I've seen, they're more expensive. Also, if you're doing N loads, it takes longer if you have one combo unit (2N time) than if you had a separate washer and dryer (N+1).
