Washer Dryers

A washer dryer is a combination of a washing machine and a tumble dryer in a single appliance. It is designed to wash and dry your clothes in one continuous cycle.

Energy efficiency varies by model and brand. Look for an Energy Label rating from A to G to gauge its efficiency, with 'A' being the most efficient.

No, you can't wash and dry different loads at the same time. The machine finishes the washing cycle before proceeding to the drying cycle.

A standard washer-dryer usually fits into a 60cm x 60cm space, but dimensions may vary. Always measure your available space before purchasing.

While convenient, a washer-dryer may not match the efficiency and
capacity of standalone machines. They are, however, ideal for smaller
homes or those looking to save space.

No, you can use the same detergents you would use for a regular washing machine. However, some models offer specialised compartments for liquid or pod detergents.

A typical wash and dry cycle can take anywhere from 3 to 5 hours, depending on the settings and model of the machine.

The drying capacity is usually lower than the washing capacity. For example, a machine with a 9kg washing capacity may have only a 6kg drying capacity.

Some models have a 'pause' or 'add item' function that allows you to add forgotten items, but this varies by model.

Regularly check and clean the lint filter, run descaling cycles as
recommended, and wipe down the door seals to maintain optimal
performance.
