Washer / Dryer combo in the kitchen cabinets

Robert Gunther

Posted

I am looking for a washer/drying (for clothes not dishes) that are designed to be installed in a kitchen under the cabinets.

I know this is VERY unusual for Canada which is why I am having a hard time finding such a thing, but it is very common in Europe and Asia.

I have a very small apartment with no washer/dryer and the cost to run the plumbing and electric is prohibitive so if I can fit one under the kitchen counters next to the sink it would make my life much easier.

Anyone know of a model available in Canada?

@Robert Gunther I had a similar ventless unit for a while. It wasn't feasible to run an exhaust vent in the older condo that wasn't built with en suite laundry, so this was the alternative I installed. It worked well, just took a long time to do a load. An advantage was that if your clothes could be tumble dried, you could simply turn it on to wash and dry, and it would go through the whole cycle without needing to move anything from the washer to the dryer.

The disadvantage? The full wash/dry would take almost 4 hours. I would often just start a load when I went to work so it would be done when I got home, so it wasn't too big a problem.

Personally, I like them for spaces that have limitations. I believe you can find some ventless units for around $1,500.
