Introduction:
Did you know that many modern washing machines come with a drying function? This often-overlooked feature can save time, energy, and space by allowing you to wash and dry your laundry in the same machine. These machines are perfect for those living in apartments or homes with limited space or for anyone who prefers the convenience of a single unit for laundry care.
How It Works:
Washer-dryer combos, or machines with drying capabilities, use condensation or ventless drying methods. When the washing cycle is complete, the machine shifts to a drying cycle, either using a heater or by extracting moisture and condensing it into water, which is then drained away.
Condensation drying: This method uses a heat exchanger to dry the clothes. The moisture in the clothes evaporates, and the water vapor is condensed and drained out.
Vented drying: Some washer-dryers have a venting system that expels hot air to dry the clothes, much like a traditional tumble dryer.
