- thescrewdriver 12y agoThey already have ones which combine wash and dry in one.
- munimkazia 12y agoAutomatic machines which do both in one place have been around for decades atleast. Or were you being sarcastic? I can't tell
- Someone1234 12y agoIndeed true. Traditionally they've always been unreasonably expensive (relative to individual units) but in the last few years they have come down a lot and now they're only mildly more expensive than individual units. I suspect once two units or a unified unit hit the same dollar price you'll see a lot of people switch over the unified systems just so laundry is more "set and forget." Plus some of them have smartphone notifications now when the laundry is done (so no listening for the alarm, etc).
- coob 12y agoThey wash OK but the drying in washer/dryers sucks.
- toomuchtodo 12y agoThis is because they condense the water out of the basin, whereas a traditional dryer is generating hot air from electricity or natural gas, which I don't believe can be done in a combined unit. Innovation remains to be seen!
- gambiting 12y agoBetter Samsung models have a built in condensing dryer - the drying time is just included in the wash time.
