I wouldn't advise getting a wahser/dryer combination. I had one but you can only put half the load into dry and it is not as economical as getting them individually imo.

IMO washer dryers are useless, but this is only my opinion i'd by separates

thought it would save money though. Rather than having to buy a washer now and a dryer later just get the two in one so to speak.

hmmm gone for a think

Better to buy two cheap separate appliances than any type of washer/dryer. I had an expensive one left in the house when we bought it and I left my old faithful dryer at the old house. BIG MISTAKE. Just bought a new tumbledryer - only a White Knight cheap one but it works very well.

rubbish at drying
not great at washing either!

I spent a week at MILs and used her washerdryer, never again! It took 4 hours to dry what would have taken 70 minutes at home, and while I was waiting for that I obviously couldn't have another wash going at the same time. Good for someone who doesn't do much washing, but frustrating for everyone else.

We have a hot point and works properly if you really want one. But if space is not an issue get separate ones.
It ison the mall side for awasher and because is a condesation styly dryer theclothes get really hot and really wrinkled, and it takes a loong time to dry

It maybe cheaper to buy 2, but you will save that AND more in electricity etc

You will spend DAYS in the house waiting for the repairman.
