The washer dryer combo unit is starting to gain a footing outside of its usual hidden status. There are still plenty of people out there - like myself not too long ago - who have no clue what this is or that it exists. When I mention a dryer washer combo unit to pretty much anyone, I have yet to find a single person who is already familiar.
Nevertheless, these compact laundry units are starting to show up in some pretty mainstream places. Believe it or not, they are starting to be built into luxury apartments and used as selling points to attract renters. If you go onto YouTube you can find all kinds of real estate videos where the combo washer dryer is mentioned or even highlighted in video tours of apartments or even condos for sale.
You will also encounter this mini washer dryer in high end RVs! Yes you can find images of these in YouTube too.
So what does this mean? If the contractors/builders/designers of these buildings and RVs didn't think the washer dryer combo unit was a positive for the client, they wouldn't have put them in. It serves as confirmation for people that this cool appliance has the durability, dependability, and performance that they want.

Mini Washer Dryer - Does Size Matter?
Sorry about the title, I just couldn't help myself! :) Of course size matters! haha If you are trying to fit an appliance into a small residence, then size can make all the difference as to whether it can happen or not.
The mini washer dryer I'm talking about is the combination unit washer and dryer, where the washing and drying is done all in the same tub. These typically run about 34" high x 24" wide x 24" deep. This is not unlike the space that a good sized tv might take up. So what you've got is a double kind of reduction. Instead of two regular side by side appliances, you only have one. That one is smaller than one of the original set.
So you've got a much smaller unit than conventional washer/dryer sets. But if you think about it, smaller size doesn't matter so much if it's not practical to use. Why bother being able to stick an appliance in a closet if you can utilize it as you need it?
These dryer washer combos have that part taken care of too. Simply put, they are portable. This means you can put it in a corner of a room or wherever it will fit, and when you need it you can roll it over to the kitchen sink, hook it up, and you're good to go!
