What Is a Combination Washer and Dryer Unit?
A combination differs from stackable washer and dryer in that it is actually a washing machine with a drying function added on as opposed to two separate units stacked on top of each other. The combination, which is a front-loading model, works using a ductless technology with a condensation mechanism to remove moisture from the washed clothes. This condensation mechanism functions similar to a dehumidifier. Hot air is blown into the washing machine’s tub and the condensation unit, which is essentially a blast of cold air, removes the moisture from the now moist hot air via a drainage hose or pipes that connect to the home’s wastewater system-the same pipes that would be used to drain water from a conventional washing machine.
