The best washer-dryer of 2019

The life of modern housewives is rich and interesting, and in order to simplify the household chores as much as possible, home appliance manufacturers are constantly trying to introduce something new and optimally manageable. Washing and drying design allows you to permanently solve the problem of drying clothes in the apartment.

After all, hanging clothes on ropes and batteries is not only uncomfortable, but also not aesthetically pleasing. This method of drying linen and clothes increases humidity, which may not always favorably affect home decoration and human health. How to approach the choice of a washing machine with dryer, we will consider in more detail below.

What is a washing machine with dryer

Currently, in each apartment you can find a washing machine. She copes with her duties perfectly, but does not dry clothes to the end. A machine with good drying is equipped with a heating element, and after the end of washing, a drying cycle is activated. Drying occurs with the help of warm air entering the laundry, and the condensate is collected in a special container or passes through the drain hose to the sewer.

Drying takes place as follows: an additional heater and an electric fan are installed in the apparatus; air passes through the heater and is already hot supplied to the rotating drum, providing uniform drying.

The best washer-dryer or dryer separately?

The most important requirements for drying clothes are to preserve the structure of fabrics and easy ironing. Drying units are cheaper and easier to operate. They have more adjustment modes for drying clothes, but their main disadvantage is that they have almost the same dimensions as a washing machine. And this means that such devices take up the same amount of space in the house, but perform much less functions. Unlike simple drying, most modern machine models can not only dry up to 5 kg of various linen, but also wash it beforehand, and most washing and drying units can be programmed to various parameters, and drying can be done separately.

Pros of washing machines with dryer:

• speed - no need to wait until the laundry dries, which is especially important for large families and families with small children;
• the humidity level in the apartment decreases - when the humidity is exceeded, a fungus can develop, a musty smell in the room may occur, and health problems can also begin. This indicator is especially important for residents of areas with high humidity, residents of houses that are located near water bodies and in cities where it rains constantly, such as St. Petersburg;
• compactness - after the acquisition of such a unit, you do not need to install an additional dryer, which significantly saves space. Usually the area that is required to install the apparatus with the dryer is 60 × 60cm. That is, it has almost the same dimensions as ordinary automatic machines, and does not take up much space in the bathroom. This indicator is important for residents of small apartments and studios.

Disadvantages:

• high energy consumption - this indicator increases due to the heater installed in the unit, the operation of which requires increased energy consumption, and therefore much more electricity will be spent;
• the inability to load the entire volume at a time, if in some models it is necessary to carry out a cycle in 2 stages to dry the full volume of laundry;
• increased wear of fabrics - due to the fact that drying occurs in an unnatural way, the fabric wears out faster, and therefore things serve much less, and it is also not recommended to constantly dry things from fragile fabrics in such a machine, such as: wool, silk and others;
• cost - the price of such washing machines with a dryer is much higher than conventional automatic machines and semiautomatic devices, but if you buy a washing machine and dryer separately, their installation will cost even more.

Types of drying and principle of operation

There is an established opinion that drying in the washing machine is very aggressive, after which it is impossible to iron the laundry, but this statement has long been irrelevant. Most modern models are equipped with such additional programs as: “ironing”, “easy ironing” and others.

Elements of construction:

• cooler - helps air to penetrate the drum;
• blades - prevent the formation of folds;
• ten - designed to heat the air;
• sensors - show the degree of drying;
• collection - accumulates excess generated water.

The machines have basic and auxiliary drying programs, and different manufacturers all kinds of names of basic and additional functions can be used, but the principle of their work will be almost the same. The simplest drying program lasts from 40 to 60 minutes.

The main types of drying programs

• reinforced (intensive) - suitable for products from coarse fabrics, such as bedding, plaid;
• gentle drying - a more gentle regime than intensive drying;
• in the cupboard - intended for drying clothes, which can immediately be cleaned in the cupboard. Such a program helps to protect things, protects them from drying out and rough bends on the fabric;
• ironing - this type of drying involves the subsequent ironing of things;
• dry washing is the longest type of drying and a whole range of programs that allow you to clean clothes without water and may include sterilization and removal of odors;
• refreshment is a special additional program to improve the freshness of linen, which allows you to completely remove unpleasant odors from washing powder and conditioner;
• time (timer) - allows you to set the max and min time modes;
• smart - such a function is in units with the installed Fujilogic system, which can set the moisture content of linen, based on indicators of dampness and temperature. This “smart drying” takes place until the set humidity value is reached.

What to choose - a machine or an oven

A separate electric drying cabinet makes it possible to load a considerable amount of laundry into it and effectively dry it under various conditions. In terms of process quality and energy consumption, it undoubtedly surpasses the washer-dryer unit.

Although some models may be located above the automatic washing machine, the drawback of the electric dryer is its high price and large dimensions.

Energy consumption, capacity, dimensions of washing machines with dryer

When choosing a tumble dryer, you need to pay attention to:

1. Energy costs - getting acquainted with the model range, pay attention to the energy efficiency class, which is indicated by: "A" - economical; G - not economical; A +++ and B - indicates that the technique belongs to the super-economical category. It is very rare to find a washer-dryer with a class C - this class is also super-economical, but there are practically no such units on the market.
2. Another important selection criterion is the size and dimensions of the washer-dryer. It is almost identical to the usual one and has the same loading hatch, program switches and control panels. But unlike the machine, it has not 4, but 5 washing cycles.Drying and washing machines allow you not to occupy excess space in the house, and its width can be from 55 to 60cm; depth from 55 to 65cm; height from 80 to 85 cm. There are recessed, as well as compact models. They organize space even more economically and are designed for very small rooms. Built-in washers and dryers are convenient in operation and save space, are also of excellent quality, but cost several times more than separate ones.
3. Capacity. A clothes dryer can hold from 3 to 10 kilograms, and the larger the capacity of the drum, the more convenient and faster you can dry the laundry at a time. Also, a large drum should be chosen according to the principle that clothes will wrinkle less in it and it will be much easier to iron it. The best and most common option is 4-6 kg. The efficiency of contact machines is much less: they can hold up to 4 kg, and in such units the laundry will have to be dried in parts, and these models are also less economical.
