The main heating element is designed to heat water. The second one is needed to heat the air. Housewives often have a question about the need to buy such a machine, because you have to overpay. Let's try to weigh all the pros and all the cons of such an innovative technology.
So, the advantages of washing machines with a drying function are:
1. Compactness. If you purchase a washing machine and a dryer separately, it will take up a lot of space, and the energy consumption will be twice as much.
2. Wrinkle protection. Such a washer-dryer has a cooling function. At the end of the drying process, the drum makes several smooth rotations to reduce the temperature of the laundry and prevent creases.
3. Reduced humidity in the house. With this machine, you no longer need to hang clothes in the room during cold weather, which means the room humidity will be normal.
4. Time saving. The machine will wash and dry laundry in a short time.
5. Ability to dry delicate items such as down jackets, soft toys, blankets. And most interestingly, even shoes can be dried using this miracle device.
6. If you buy a washing machine and a dryer separately, it will be more expensive than one washer-dryer with drying technology.
However, there are also significant disadvantages of such machines:
1. Repair of a washing machine will cost you much more than in ordinary machines. Washing machines with a drying function break down more often due to their more complex technical equipment, and it becomes necessary to call a specialist for washing machine repair.
2. The price may be about 25-30% higher compared to conventional automatic machines.
3. Increased wear of laundry. The most optimal option is slightly damp laundry – if you set the “very dry” mode, it can cause overdrying. Thus, the fabric fibers become very brittle.
4. Inability to dry a large volume of laundry.
As we can see, it is necessary to think carefully about the advisability of buying a washing machine with a built-in drying function, understand how it works, read reviews on the Internet. Also, an important aspect is its impact on the human body.
