Like you said, it's the folding that's hard.
- brwr 14y agoSomeone else posted that farther down. The problem is that the capacity is so low. People want capacities that are to the tune of 5.0 cf for a washer and 8.0-9.0 cf for a dryer. The model in that article is only 2.44 cf. That is to be expected though, seeing as I don't know of anyone else making a similar device, but we still need to improve before sales would make it worth manufacturing in mass.
- nzmsv 14y agoCombo washer/dryers are probably more common in Europe than separate machines, and come in a big range of capacities. It's just hard to make a big one work on a North American 120V 15A circuit. I think a more realistic solution to fully automating laundry would be something like the LG TROMM Styler. It's a wardrobe that dry-cleans clothes.
- brwr 14y agoThis could work if you had a lot of clothes and didn't wear anything too often. Dry cleaning clothes too frequently will ruin them. Why is it any more difficult to build a machine that works on a 120V 15A circuit? I never studied circuits, so consider me a layman.
