Save Money by Purchasing a High-End Washer and Dryer Combo

Posted on by

Whenever you are looking for high-end energy efficient laundry solutions for your home, business, or rental properties, a washer and dryer combo is normally a more cost-effective solution because you are purchasing a single appliance. It is easy to spend around $2,000 or more for high quality stand-alone or stackable front loading, energy-efficient washers and dryers. On the other hand, you can reduce this cost by at least 25 percent or more by considering an all-in-one laundry appliance.

Where Can I Install a Combination Washer and Dryer?

You have several different options available for installing a combination washer and dryer in your home, business, or rental properties. You can install the appliance in an existing laundry room. If you do not have a laundry room, you could install the appliance in your kitchen, much like your dishwasher. You are even able to convert the appliance into a portable machine for easy connection to your kitchen sink.

Does It Cost More to Maintain and Repair a Washer and Dryer Combo?

While you might think the costs to maintain and repair a washer and dryer combo are more, you would be wrong. In fact, repair and maintenance costs are much less with all-in-one appliances, than compared to similar service calls for stand-alone washers and dryers. The reason service calls cost less is because the service technician only has to perform maintenance and/or repairs on a single appliance.

Is a Portable Washing Machine Right for You?

Posted on by

A portable washing machine is the ideal solution for people looking for an in-home laundry solution when there are no existing washer and dryer connections in your apartment, condo, or home. It is important to distinguish between the different models and options on the market today. Some models only provide washing functions, so you still require a drying solution. Other models, like the LG all-in-one washer and dryer, include both washing and ventless drying into a single portable appliance.

How Does a LG Portable Washing Machine Work?

A LG portable washing machine functions just like other front loading washers and dryers. The key difference is how you connect the water intake and discharge lines. Instead of connecting these to actual washer connections in a laundry room, they are connected to a kitchen sink conversion kit. The conversion kit includes connections for both the intake and discharge lines into a single piece, which conveniently attaches to most kitchen sink faucets. Once connected to the faucet, you turn the water on and select the desired water temperature. In cases where you are using either hot or warm water for the wash cycle, you do need to adjust the faucet to cold water for the rinse cycles. After the wash cycle is complete, the machine automatically starts the drying cycle.
