Is a Combination Washer Dryer Right for You?

Posted on by

Selecting new laundry appliances for your home or business depends largely on your laundry habits and volume of laundry. Modern laundry appliances include options for compact laundry pairs, large capacity machines, stackable washers and dryers, and combination washer dryer models. The following questions will assist you in the decision process:

  1. Can you run a load laundry several times a week? Instead of attempting to do all of your laundry on a single day, if you can break this up over multiple days, then a combination washer dryer is a good choice, since both washing and drying functions are performed in the same appliance.
  2. Do you have existing washer and dryer connections? If your home or business does not have washer and dryer connections, a washer dryer combo provides a bit more flexibility because it can be converted into a portable machine and does not require a dryer vent or special dryer electrical outlet.
  3. How much room do you have available in your home or business to install a washer and dryer? Space considerations are important, because you need to make sure there is sufficient space, whether you choose individual laundry appliances or an all-in-one solution. If you have limited space, either a stackable washer and dryer or combination machine would work.

Other considerations to help you choose the best laundry solution for your home are to look at the energy saving features on the appliances and whether they feature ventless drying technologies.

Benefits of a Washer Dryer Combo

Posted on by

There are several benefits of a washer dryer combo, compared to conventional laundry pairs. Both the washing and drying functions are combined into a single machine to eliminate the amount of space needed for individual washers and dryers. An all-in-one washer dryer can be installed in just about any location in your home, apartment, condo, or business, because it fits into small spaces.

Another benefit of a washer dryer combo is ventless drying. You do not have to worry about dryer vents or special dryer electrical cords and connections. The drying function uses advanced condensation drying to remove moisture from the clothes. The only types of connections required are access to hot and cold water lines, a discharge drain, and a 3-prong 110V common household outlet.

You can convert an all-in-one washer dryer into a portable machine if you do not have any existing washer connections in your home, condo, apartment, or business. The conversion kit attaches to the water intake hoses and discharge hose to create a single-piece connector which attaches to most kitchen faucets. You should also add a wheel kit to make it easy to roll the washer dryer up to the sink and store it out of your way whenever you are not using it.

No Vent Required with Ventless LG Dryer Models

Posted on by

One reason some people make regular trips to their local laundromat is because their home, apartment, or condo does not have any dryer vents. There are specific building codes which must be followed any time dryer vents are installed. These codes outline the maximum length of dryer vents, bends, and other such details. The costs to have dryer vents properly installed and certified can be rather expensive. As a result, people and landlords forego pursuing having vents and vented dryers installed. However, thanks to recent advances in technology over the past few years, dryer vents are no longer a concern, with ventless LG dryer models.

What Is a Ventless LG Dryer?

A ventless LG dryer is a clothes dryer which operates on electricity and does not require a dryer vent. Ventless drying solutions are not offered as a gas option, because gas drying has to be vented. There are two basic types of ventless dryers on the market today. One option is a stand-alone ventless dryer, and the other option is a combination washer and ventless dryer. The key difference between the two options is whether you prefer two laundry appliances, or want a single laundry appliance. In addition, with a stand-alone ventless dryer, you do require a special dryer electrical outlet and dryer cord. However, with the combination washer dryer option, you only need access to a common 3-prong 110-volt household outlet.

To learn more about how ventless drying technologies work, or to obtain assistance in selecting the best dryer solution for needs, contact one of our laundry appliance specialists today at 800-875-1533.

How Reliable Are Stackable Washer and Dryer Reviews?

Posted on by

Discerning the reliability of stackable washer and dryer reviews is important in order to ensure you make the best decisions for new laundry appliances. Thanks to the Internet and major search engines, it is not difficult to find reviews online. However, making sense of the results you obtained is another story. Some sites you visit may want you to sign up, subscribe, or purchase something to see the review. Other sites can seem confusing to navigate and find relevant review information. You may also discover sites where the reviews might seem somewhat biased. However, there are numerous resources where you can find reliable information when you know where and how to look for it.

The best places to find reliable stackable washer and dryer reviews is on independent customer feedback sites, such as Angie’s List, Kudzu, Yelp, and Google Places. Each of these sites encourages consumers to leave honest opinions and comments about a wide range of products and services, including laundry appliances. You can also utilize these sites for finding reputable laundry appliance retailers in your area, as well as those that offer nationwide service and support.

The Better Business Bureau (BBB) is another reliable source of customer feedback for stackable washer and dryer appliance dealers. You can check out the number of complaints against a business, whether a business has any complaints, and what action they took to resolve complaints, as well as their overall BBB rating.

Just remember, no matter what site you use, you may still encounter biased feedback, when in fact there are no issues or problems with the stackable washer and dryer being reviewed. To weed these comments out, ask yourself if the review has anything to do with how the washer and dryer operates, cleans and dries clothes, and so on.

We invite you to check out our outstanding feedback and A+ BBB rating, and then contact us at 800-875-1533 to order your new stackable washer and dryer.

Washer and Ventless Dryer Solutions for Businesses

Posted on by

Many types of business operations, like beauty shops, health clubs, spas, and doctors’ offices, provide towels, face cloths, and other clothing for their clients. Keeping up on the amount of laundry created each day can be an issue, especially when the business does not have an in-office laundry solution and has to rely upon outsourcing their laundry services. Using a laundry service could be costing your business a large amount of potential revenues. Instead of continuing to spend money to outsource your laundry, you might want to consider viable solutions for installing a washer and ventless drying at your place of business.

Addressing Concerns for Installing a Washer and Ventless Dryer at a Business

Some business owners have concerns about installing a washer and ventless dryer. Their landlord might not allow them to make any structural changes to the building. Another issue some owners face is finding space to install the laundry appliances. There are solutions for overcoming these and other such concerns.

In situations where you are prevented from modifying the business space, the best laundry solution is a compact all-in-one washer and dryer. This model can be connected to an existing kitchen sink, for access to hot and cold water and a drain, with a conversion kit. If your landlord will allow you to tap into existing water and drain lines, as well as to modify electrical connections, but space is an issue, you could either consider a combination washer dryer, or a stackable washer and dryer solution with ventless drying technology.

Renovating Your Apartment Buildings? Install Compact Washers and Dryers

Posted on by

If you are planning on renovating your apartment homes, you should seriously consider installing compact washer and dryer appliances into your newly remodeled units. Since you are already taking the time to repaint the walls, install new kitchen and bathroom cabinets, and carpeting, adding a new amenity with in-unit laundry is just one more perk to help you rent your apartments after renovations are completed. Apartment homes, which feature preinstalled washers and dryers in the unit, rent for more than units without a laundry or washer and dryer connections.

There are compact washer and dryer solutions to fit with every type of remodeling situation, regardless of the age of the apartment buildings. For example, if your buildings are older and do not have existing washer and dryer connections, the best solution is to install a combination washer and ventless dryer. This is a single appliance that operates on 110 volts with a common 3-prong outlet. All-in-one solutions do require access to hot and cold water and a discharge drain.

Installing a combination washer dryer is not difficult. You could get a plumber to tap into existing water lines and drain that run in the back of a hall closet, in the bathroom, or in the kitchen. If there are no available lines to tap easily, another option is to convert the combo washer dryer into a portable unit by adding a wheel kit and kitchen sink conversion kit.

Stop Going to the Laundromat with a New Washer and Dryer in One

Posted on by

Are you tired of making trips to the laundromat each week to do load after load of laundry? Does it seem like you are wasting an entire day off of work just to wash and dry your clothes? Wouldn’t you like to do laundry at home, but lack a laundry room or washer and dryer connections? Many people would prefer to be able to do laundry at home, on their own schedule, and regain lost free time now being spent at the laundromat. Fortunately, a viable option for people without laundry rooms or connections in their homes, condominiums, or apartments is to purchase a new washer and dryer in one.

A washer and dryer in one is a single appliance which combines both washing and drying features. Unlike other front loading models that can require special electrical connections and water and drain connections, an all-in-one washer dryer plugs into any standard 3-prong 110V outlet in your home. While it does need access to hot and cold water lines and a drain, you have the option of attaching a kitchen sink conversion kit on the intake and outtake hoses on the combo washer dryer. Your all-in-one laundry appliance uses ventless drying technologies, so no dryer vent is required, nor special dryer cord.

This means you can do laundry in your home, any time you desire, and never have to make any more trips to the laundromat. Reclaim your lost free time today by learning more about a LG washer and dryer in one by browsing our website or calling us at 800-875-1533.
