Are you looking for an appliance unit with both washer and dryer functions? The good news is that you have plenty of options when it comes to appliances that can perform washing and drying—all in one unit. But beware—not all of them are created equal. What are the factors that you should consider when selecting a commercial washer and dryer combo? Here are tips to keep in mind.
Consider the type of washer and dryer combo that you prefer
You have two choices: top load washers and front load washers. Top load washers are usually smaller in capacity but more affordable. These units open on top. Before you buy one, try reaching the bottom of the washer and see if you can comfortably get clothes from that depth. Meanwhile, front load washers open on the front. This design makes it easier to get access to your clothes. Such models also typically have larger capacities than top load washers.
Consider the space in your house
The dimension of the location of where you will put your commercial washer and dryer combo is critical when selecting a unit. Get the actual measures of the space and compare it with the dimensions of the appliance. Also, if you are planning to enclose a unit, be sure to allot space for the tubes, water lines and drain.
Consider the Amount of Laundry You Usually Do
For households with two to three people, you can buy a washer and dryer combo with a smaller capacity. If you expect more than three people to use the machine, then you should get a higher capacity washer to save more time and cut costs in the long run.
Consider the features
In general, commercial washer and dryer combos with more features are more expensive. Make sure that you are not paying for extra bells and whistles that you will never use. This is the best way to get good value for your money.
