You've only got space for 2 of 3: washing machine, tumble dryer, and dishwasher. Which 2 would you have?

[peachjuice]

We've only got space for 2 appliances. Currently have a washing machine and dishwasher but keep thinking we would like a tumble dryer.

Would you rather keep the dishwasher, or swap for a tumble dryer?

Washer and dishwasher. I have a dryer too but only use it about a dozen times a year to finish off a few items in a hurry.

Any decent washer dryer would do, just remember you can only dry about 1/3 of the wash load at a time.

Washer-dryer and dishwasher. We've had that set up for four years.

I would go washing machine and dishwasher, then a Lakeland folding heated airer thing for clothes in winter. I would probably consider getting bedding, particularly the king size stuff, and towels done at a laundrette -but i probably fail the MN Slattern Test on how often i change beds

I wlike have a WM and a DW and put the TD in another room.

Or have a WM/TD and DW.

I'd go with washing machine and dishwasher. I only use the dryer for bed linen and towels though. I rarely dry clothes in it.
My dryer is in the shed though because I don't have a utility and only have space in the kitchen for the washing machine and dishwasher.

A question about washer dryers. If they can take 8kg to wash and 4kg to dry.... can you just put in 4kg and wash and dry the whole lot?!

Yes. But with powder, only, not liquid, as you can't leave the dispenser ball in the machine while you tumble.

A washer dryer is better than no dryer!

Wash cycles have always been ok on mine (I keep moving so now own my fourth one).

Drying less reliable but I only use the drying cycle ocassionally!

Yes, you can wash and dry 4kg. Mine has Bluetooth too so I can do it from my phone, if I wanted to. I don't.

The washing machine senses it's half a load and adjusts the time accordingly, then you have the choice of 3 settings to dry it on. Er, kinda dry, dry, and really dry.

I always use half heat because my dryer is so hot. I couldn't be without a dryer.

This is the closest I can find to my washer dryer, it's a bit smaller, mine is 10kg and washes 6kg. https://www.currys.co.uk/gbuk/household-appliances/laundry/washer-dryers/hoover-dynamic-next-wdxoc-686ac-nfc-8-kg-washer-dryer-white-10166102-pdt.html?istCompanyId=bec25c7e-cbcd-460d-81d5-a25372d2e3d7&istItemId=xqiiwqmqii&istBid=tztx&srcid=198&cmpid=ppc~gg~2039%20(PLA)%20MDA%20Laundry%20-%20Washer%20Dryers%20Core%20Keylines%20/%20TV%20Deals~2039%20(PLA)%20MDA%20Laundry%20-%20Washer%20Dryers%20Core%20Keylines%20/%20TV%20Deals%20ad%20group~Exact&mctag=gggoogg7904&kwid=GOOGLE&device=m&dskids=92700036818848904&PLA=1&tgtid=2039%20(PLA)%20MDA%20Laundry%20-%20Washer%20Dryers%20Core%20Keylines%20/%20TV%20Deals&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIhLSM7bXG3QIVjbHtCh3wGwP7EAQYASABEgLdWfDDBwE&gclsrc=aw.ds

We could only have ONE in the kitchen so the washer/dryer is going upstairs in a cupboard on the landing (by the bathroom so easy to plumb in) and dishwasher in the kitchen. This was suggested by my MIL - it's only British people who do their laundry in the kitchen, lots of other countries perceive it as unhygenic.

I only have space for one and we have a washing machine.

I miss having a tumble dryer.

I really don't understand the angst over dishwashers, washing up is not very onerous.

washing machine and dishwasher...
I love my dishwasher hate washing dishes ! would give up a washing machine rather than my dishwasher...

dont have a tumble dryer havent for years (since lived at mums) had a washer dryer for a while but it was rubbish (although a while ago they may be better) and cost a fortune to run
however would consider a washer dryer if lived in flat

I woukd go for a washer dryer if possible

We did have one a long time ago and there wasnt a problem with it for many years

But otherwise i would get rid of my dishwasher...i havent read the whole thread so if you have mentioned children and ages that would possibly change my opinion

Washer and dishwasher. Then ensure you have a south facing conservatory. Even in a middling summer it'll dry everything in a couple of hours. In a summer like this one it was drying everything in 15 minutes! In the winter, an airer in a room with the central heating on at normal level will dry stuff.

Washer and dish washer. I have a small Creda tumble dryer which I keep in a cupboard but hardly use it. Tumble dryers are very expensive to run so I only use mine for finishing off things so they can be put away. I only do that when the weather is bad and not often.

Washer Dryer and dishwasher.

Our combi washer/dryer was surprisingly good - cannot remember the make though. It did at least 8 years of hard work!

Washing machine and dishwasher. I don't have a tumble dryer now as m y old one broke. Managed fine without it and my bills are a lot lower. Couldn't manage without a washing machine though (had to for a few weeks earlier this year and it was hell having to handwash everyone's stuff in the bath then it took forever to dry). Dishwashers save me a lot of time and arguments too.

Also, every single washer dryer I've ever used was shite. Took forever and ever to dry stuff and everything came out creased to death. Seem to break more frequently too.

Spare a thought for me. I have room for just one appliance in my kitchen! We have just a washing machine. Although I am considering a washer/dryer mainly to avoid ironing 2 lots of school uniform!

We've never had a dishwasher. I've never seen the need.

Can you not stack? I have my tumble dryer on top of my washing machine and it makes me so happy.

I managed for years without a dishwasher until we moved house.

I couldn't live without my washing machine or tumble dryer.

Washing machine and tumble dryer. I can always wash up by hand, but I can't easily dry washing in wet weather without access to a dryer.

That's all I have space for, so I have a washer-dryer and a dishwasher. Works just fine for me.

Washing machine and tumble dryer. Never been fussed about a dishwsher and we are a large family.

I used to have a dishwasher and don't miss it.
