Which washer dryer to choose - tips and tricks for choosing

Washing designs with a drying function save us from unnecessary problems.

If you have a small-sized apartment in which it is not possible to dry clothes in the usual way, then you can use a unit with such a function, which is much more convenient than holding and occupying free space with two fairly large devices (meaning a washing machine and a dryer).

Let's imagine that you have washed some thing that you really like and that you would like to wear tonight.

What to do if you urgently need a clean and dry thing?

Things have just been washed, which means they are still wet, and time, as always, is short. What to do?

You can turn to a tumble dryer that will quickly dry your laundry in just a couple of minutes.

The only and main disadvantage of washing machines with a drying function is a rather small amount of dried items compared to washed ones.Many people have such cases when they have to dry clothes two or even more times. It takes twice as much time, as well as electricity, because you wash in a washing machine and dry in a dryer, and thus it takes twice as much energy.

As a rule, when buying any design of household appliances, you need to find out its basic characteristics and evaluate the benefits, which will help you make the right choice. If you have weighed all the pros and cons, then you can welcome the five best washer dryers.

Washing machines with dryer

Samsung Yukon

Model Samsung Yukon, or as it is called "the girl in red."

This model of a washing machine with a drying function is quite roomy and expensive, perfect for large families.

As many say, it is amazing, because buyers direct their attention to the design of this design.

The unit is painted in a bright red color, which matches quite nicely with the elements made in chrome silver shade. Elegant forms directly attract buyers to themselves. She is also called the "Beauty Queen" of most washer dryers.

Working and functional model Samsung WD1142XVR with highly developed technologies have an inverter motor that is energy efficient.

Technologies used

Thanks to the Korean patented system VRT (Vibration Reduction Technology) the washing machine works quite quietly during washing and even drying, as well as in a reduced level of vibration.

The meaning of this model is that it has a technology of sensors and sensors that monitor the processes of washing and produce "intelligent balancing" of loads, which leads the design to reduce noise and vibration. If the design does not "balance", then everything will be the other way around (the result will be the same if you install your unit, let's say on a surface that is in an uneven state).

Technology from the same company, Eco Bubble during the washing process, it forms rather high indicators of the amount of foam and bubbles (air), there is an air-bubble generator that dissolves detergents and spreads bubbles around the drum. The resulting "washing foam" (which appears when the detergent comes into contact with the foam) during the washing process diverges throughout the drum and pierces the clothes through, thereby cleaning the contaminated areas with high quality.

This washer-dryer has a drum Diamond Drum, this washing drum holes are reduced by 36% than the holes in conventional washing machines (quote from an article by the manufacturer). This fact reduces the chance of damage to things during the washing process to almost zero.

There is special washing drum cleaning systemwhich allows you to do without any chemicals. There is one button, when pressed, the water heats up to 70 degrees Celsius and, in relation to the maximum speed of rotation of the drum, removes any residues of washing powder or detergents, various kinds of bacteria and dirt inside and on the walls of the drum.

The company has worked very hard to create this beauty, which washes the laundry to the conscience, even with a large amount of it (the amount of laundry that can be loaded into the washing machine is quite large).

Programs

The design contains thirteen different programs and washing modes. In addition to the standard programs, there are also additional ones with different temperatures (five basic settings). There are other special programs for washing cotton and synthetics, as well as a program for washing wool, children's clothes, and tracksuits.

There is a clothing disinfection system. Special program for washing bed linen. Cycles for almost clean and heavily soiled clothes. There is a cycle with a decrease in water use, i.e. economical laundry.

There is the possibility of additional rinsing: this feature does not have a water saving function, but the consumer can be one hundred percent sure that his clothes will be completely cleaned of laundry detergents (washing powder, conditioner or detergent, etc.). This mode will especially help owners with allergies, or in relation to children's things.

There is the possibility of adding additional laundry already in the process of washing, until the moment the water has reached the so-called "point of no return".
