In many modern apartments there is a problem of drying washed clothes. Not all layouts have balconies and loggias, and drying clothes in a room is not aesthetically pleasing, not practical, and there is not always room for this. In such cases, there is an alternative option - to buy a washing machine, but such units also take up a lot of space and are not at all cheap. There is a way out - these are narrow washing machines with a dryer.
The already built-in function allows you to wash and dry clothes using one washing machine that can fit in any bathroom or kitchen. Now on the market there is a large selection of such devices, both built-in under the sink, and free-standing, with an ironing function, with a large capacity, and with a high energy saving class. You can find a suitable model up to 40 cm wide and such washing machines have positive reviews.
- Please note: The amount of laundry to be dried should be one and a half to two times less than the maximum volume of the tank.

Please note: The amount of laundry to be dried should be one and a half to two times less than the maximum volume of the tank.
Some of the most capacious tanks of washing machines, with built-in drying, are designed for 9 - 8 kg. linen, respectively, if you load a full washing machine for washing, you will need to pull out half before drying. Therefore, it is recommended to divide the wash into batches that are immediately designed for the maximum load for drying.
Drying clothes in the washing machine occurs due to the flow of hot air into the laundry tub, so there must be enough space in it for even drying.
In modern models of washing machines with a dryer, there is also a “dry wash” function, this is a technology for cleaning things with steam. It is well suited for woolen items, soft toys and for things that just need to be freshened up. Dry washing allows you to keep the quality of the fabric longer and is hypoallergenic.
On a note: when washing things from delicate fabrics, select a mode with a drum operation of no more than 800 revolutions per minute. Consider the advantages and disadvantages of narrow washer-dryers.
Advantages:
1) Space saving, compact washing machine 40 - 45 cm wide fits in any bathroom under the sink.
2) Drying time is greatly reduced. In a couple of hours you get absolutely clean, freshly laundered linen. This will be appreciated by mothers of babies.
3) As a rule, in such models there are additional functions: ironing and dry washing with steam.
4) Linen dried in a washing machine does not absorb odors.
Flaws:
1) The cost of two-in-one washing machines is an order of magnitude higher.
2) Energy consumption is greater than that of standard units, due to the operation of two heating elements. Having an inventory engine can help here.
3) The cost of repairs will be more expensive, and they break more often.
4) The volume of the dried laundry is two times less than the volume of the tank.
