washer-dryers

Two-in-one laundry

Washer-dryers are combination appliances that both wash and dry laundry in a single unit.

They save space in small homes or apartments where separate machines won't fit: The flat came with a washer-dryer.

The tradeoff is typically smaller capacity and longer cycle times than dedicated machines.
