Combination washer-dryers are not common anywhere because they are terrible. I live in Europe and bought a washer/dryer recently so researched the options. The main problems are (1) the dryer is half the capacity of the washer (2) double the complexity so lots of stuff can break down.
However your primary point might be correct - European windows are much better - how they can open sideways and from the top - I've never seen that in the states.
- publicola1990 5y agoI am not getting that argument, there are machines that use the same single drum for washing and drying. Its widely popular in Asia for at least the past 30 years, and I don't think they are especially succeptible to maintanence issues or it wouldn't be so popular. Also they eliminate the need to transfer clothes from the washer to the dryer, which is a major convenience.
- akvadrako 5y agoOkay, point me to a machine available in Europe which has equal drying and washing capacities. It isn't about drum size, but what they are rated to be able to do.

- akvadrako 5y agoYour link doesn't mention it and I can't find the drying capacity for that machine with google.
- publicola1990 5y agoIt doesn't mention a separate drying capacity, but it is being done in the same drum. It can do 8kg washload and 8kg of spin drying is what I would assume.
