Today I learned something new. LG Electronics makes an all-in-one washer/dryer combo. Yes. One machine that both washes AND dries.

The product description states the new high-efficient front-loading washer/dryer exceeds EnergyStar classification ratings.

“These washers and dryers are designed to clean and dry noticeably better than related products on the market today.  They also remove more stains, use far less water and energy, and last longer!”

I think I would love the compact feature. The laundry room space would be better utilized.

The only drawback I can imagine is that I could not wash load #2 while drying load #1. For just the two of us living here that would not be an problem. For larger families this could be an issue. However, perhaps it would only entail establishing a new laundry schedule.

Has anyone use one of these? Leave a comment to let us know what you think of these new washer/dryer combos.
