Built In Washer Dryers

If, as the estate agents blurb would say, your kitchen is “compact and bijou” and yet you really would like a dryer, then the answer to your problems of “where on earth will one fit?” is to be found in the washer dryer.  Washer dryers are, in essence, the combination of two machines, namely the washing machine and the dryer and, in some instances, saving space can be as vital as saving money. The birth of the washer dryer has actually allowed many homeowners, for example those who live in studio apartments, to fully appreciate the remarkable laundry experience that a washer dryer offers.

The Hotpoint BHWD129 built in washer dryer, for example, has an A rating for its wash performance, together with a B rating for its spin performance, and from these ratings it can be seen that not only is the machine a godsend when it comes to doing your laundry chores, but it is also very economical to run too. 

The advantage of being a huge space saver for any kitchen, is perhaps offset by one small disadvantage and that is that the loading capacity of the washer dryer can be sometimes limited.    If you are person who prefers to save your washing duties up until the weekend and do it all in one go, then it could possibly be best to opt for two separate machines, ie a washer and a dryer.  If, on the other hand you are happy to do your washing in smaller batches, then you really cannot go wrong with a washer dryer combination.  Because washer dryers are more compact and efficient, this means that you will use a great deal less water and electricity to get the job done.

If your kitchen has a contemporary design, with sleek finishes and an uncluttered look, don’t worry.  You can still have a washer dryer.  Simply opt for a built in washer dryer, which will be located behind your existing cupboard doors, and such a choice will compliment your kitchen as well as proving to be an added bonus on washing day!
