Have any of you had a portable washer or dryer in your home? We are living in a townhome without a washer and dryer. I hate paying to wash one load and its so difficult to work it into the schedule to actually get to the laundromat.

I looked up how the washer works, but I am not sure how the vent to the dryer would work?

A combination of a washing machine and a dryer is what some consumers are looking for. This kind of machine is very helpful in places where loads of laundry to wash isn’t as easy as it can be and where room for space is a constriction. With this sort of washer-machine, washing clothes will be as efficient as it combines both washing and drying functions. For this type of washer, each time the water comes out; it is either exited out or collected with the hoses’ help.

There are a number of things to consider if you are planning to buy a washer dryer.

Washer Load Capacity

What you should always keep in mind is the capacity and the size of the washing machine. It depends on where you want to place the washing machine. Other important consideration will include the number of person living inside the house as this will determine the amount of laundry loads to be washed. Generally speaking, between 3.5 to 5 liters is the capacity, or sometimes more. Although, it is always better to opt for a bigger capacity than what you need, as, take note however that if you are drying the clothes as well, you will need more space than what’s required.

Speed Range

The level of effective cleaning is handled by the speed of the spinner. For efficient cleaning, the spinning speed is necessary. 800rpm to 1600rpm are the speed range of the washing machine. Also, it is helpful to have washing machines with adjustable speed so that you can change the speed of the spinner for delicate clothes.

Performance Rating

The washing machines performance rating is given on their performance. Starting with A, A up to G with A being the most efficient in cleaning, Although most washing machines nowadays come with A to C ratings, water capacity that is used in washing machine is also an important factor that you should take note of. Water capacity is calculated in liters and is normally labeled in the cartons of the washing machine.

Energy Consumption

You should also consider the use of energy for the washing machine. The washing machine would be more powerful if it used more watts. Although, this increases the consumption of electricity, but the machine would perform better.

You should also know the time taken in washing the given clothes capacity. Depending on the dirt level in your laundry, the time could range from 30 minutes to 2 hours. The washing machine’s noise level is uttered in decibels. Normally, if the washing machine is more silent, it is more expensive.

Useful Features

In addition, there are a lot of other washing machine features that show to be helpful for the machine. These include a, child-proof facility, half-load button, delayed start timer, hand washing facility (for clothes that are delicate), anti leak detector (detects the washing machine for any leaking) and crease guard option. All of these functions was proved to be very helpful and makes the work easy. Also, you can still use them in the future.

The main points to consider when you think about buying a washer-dryer, is how much space you have for the washer, how much laundry you will be putting into it and which functions are most suitable for you. Naturally, you want the best washing machine that money can buy.

Stackable Washer Dryers

These types of washer dryers take minimal space and they are as good as the regular full-sized washers like the Maytag stackable washer dryers.

Some options for Stackable washer dryers are:

A laundry center with controls at the eye level for the dryer mounted on top and a front/top load washer at the bottom. This needs to be vented like the normal dryers and requires a 240-volt power supply. A stackable washer and separately bought dryer, though not all models are stackable. Only washers that have flat, smooth tops can be mounted with a dryer, which means the washer can only be front-load with controls in the front. The main advantage here is that you can have more features in both units.

Among the best washing machines is the ultimate laundry pair the Maytag stackable washer dryer. This comes with a full-size high-efficiency washer and full-size dryer and fits in the space of just a washer. It is the best washing machine where there is limited space. The Maytag stackable washer/dryer has many other saving options. There is no agitator in the washer, which means an amazing 32% greater usable capacity compared to average top-load regular washers resulting in less amount of water used, lower sewer costs and lower energy bills. The dryer is also faster and more efficient because the water is extracted at 800 rpm/200 Gs in the spin cycle.

Washer-dryer combinations are also a good option as they use the same tub to wash and dry clothes. The dirty laundry is loaded, the selections made and at the end of the drying cycle, the clean dry items removed. A standard 120-volt electrical supply is used and no venting is required.

So to summarize here are the most important washer-dryer features to remember when shopping for the best washing machine for your needs:

Front-loading washers are better than the top-load washers. They save detergent, water and electricity. Quick water removal cuts drying time like in the Maytag stackable washer dryer. Pay extra for a moisture-sensor in the dryer. It shuts off the machine automatically when the clothes are dry. Gas dryers are preferable to electric dryers. They are more economic to run and dry more quickly.

Our landlord is super lazy, and hasn’t emptied our coin-op laundry coinbox in months. We have tried calling and calling, leaving a thousand messages, but he is almost impossible to get a hold of. It has become just as impossible to do laundry because the machines are simply too full.
I would be happy if someone can give me methods of doing laundry on these machines without putting coins in. Clearly, the landlord has no interest in taking his money. And if I have a choice between breaking the law, and wearing bacteria-infested underwear, I’d rather choose the latter.

And please note: I don’t own a car, there are no laundromats near where I live, and yes, my landlord also has a problem with picking up his rentcheques. It’s fncking ridicilous. He picks them maybe once ever 3 or 4 months.

Ann McKee asked:


The healthiest way to dry your hair is to let it air dry but since most of us do not have the time for this we use one of the quickest and easiest ways available today. A hair dryer of course! Although there are two kinds of dryers available in the market today — the bonnet hair dryer, and the hand held blow dryer — I think you would agree that most people use the latter in their homes. Hair dryers basically use a motor to blow heated air to dry your hair quickly.

These days, more than ever before, we have many options for this basic hair care tool. Not only can you get many different attachments you can also pick the technology so you can get the results you want. Dryers come with straightening attachments, curling attachments, diffusers and more. A diffuser is a great attachment for creating volume and body. For curly hair it is ideal as it enhances curls with a softer, diffused air flow so you will not end up with a frizzy mess.

You can get your basic hair dryer that uses hot air. If you do not blow dry every day or for too long and already have healthy hair, this should do fine for you. For people who are using a dryer everyday and for a long time as they are styling and changing their hair texture as they dry, look for an ionic or ceramic hair dryer or one that has both.

Ionic dryers blow charged ions with warm air to hair so the water molecules are broken down to smaller size that your hair can more easily absorb. The ions surround the hair shaft preventing loss of natural oils and retention of moisture. They also close the cuticle for a more smoother, shinier look. You will also notice reduced drying time and less frizziness and static electricity with this type of dryer. Tourmaline is one of the newest technology being used in hair dryers. Tourmalines are precious stones which are a natural source of negative ions.

Ceramic hair dryers are ones that have ceramic coils inside to maintain an even temperature and a consistent dispersion of heat so it does not damage your hair. Ceramic technology is also known to assist hair retain its natural moisture and oils and helps breakdown the buildup of bacteria buildup.

These days you can now find hair dryers that include both ionic technology and ceramics coils and are fairly reasonable priced.

Some things to look for when purchasing a hair dryer:

- How loud is it? Since you are going to have it so close to your ears, this should definitely be a consideration.

- How many heat settings and speed settings does it have?

- Does it have a cold setting or cold blast? Some dryers have a cold button that you do not have to hold down — which is what I prefer.

- How heavy is it? Much lighter ones are available nowadays comparable to travel dryers.

- Is it ergonomic? You want to be able it hold it comfortably and in a natural position so you are not straining your wrist.

- Does it have a retractable cord? I happen to love this feature.

- Does it have a removable lint catcher?

Tips

# Never wrap the cord around the dryer as it may fray or damage cord causing a hazard. Of course a retractable cord is ideal and would eliminate this problem.

# Make sure to clean the hair dryer often, Too much lint of stray hairs can block airflow and cause the dryer to overheat. I prefer dryers that have a removable lint catcher for easy cleaning. Back when they did not have this option, I would use a vacuum.

# Try to give your hair a break from blow drying at least one a week. Even with all the new technology, heat is still damaging to your hair to some degree.
