If you are in search of a compact washing machine that will save space in your home without sacrificing the quality of the washing process, there are a few different options on the market today. Different options will be more appealing to different people depending on the reason behind the purchase. Some of the well known reasons for purchasing a more compact washer include: * Fitting into a small nook. * Creating a less intrusive appearance. * Leaving more space for other items necessary in the home. If any of these things speak to your current needs, then you are an ideal candidate for a compact washing machine. You may find one or more of the following options more appealing, depending on your exact needs. Space Saver Models Smaller sized models designed to take up less space used to be the only option available. These models will be advertised as space saving models and tend to be rather basic when it comes to the features included. Typically they will be slightly smaller in size than a standard version, though some may still accommodate a full sized load of laundry. These are good options for people who want to save a bit of money on their washing machine purchase or those who need to squeeze the washer into a smaller spot next to a dryer but who are otherwise not very concerned about saving space. If you are working with a serious shortage of space or want to limit how noticeable the wash machine is within your home you are better off considering one of the other two options. Stackable Washer/Dryer Sets One of the more modern ways to bring home a compact washing machine is to purchase a stackable set. You essentially have a machine that accommodates a standard sized load with a dryer that stacks up on top. Some sets are designed as one unit with a small space between the washer and dryer where the washer lid lifts up. Others are separate units that are designed to sit on top of one another. However it goes, the dryer will always be on top in a stackable set. This is even better than purchasing a standard compact washing machine because you are only using half the space you would use with a side-by-side set! It may take some getting used to pulling the clothing out from the top dryer and bending down to insert clothing in the washer, but this is a small sacrifice for the amount of space you save for your home. Since these units can often be placed in a larger sized closet with the door shut, this is a great option if you are trying to limit the attention drawn to your washer and dryer. Washer Dryer Combos What if you could toss your clothing into one appliance and allow it to wash and dry? This is now possible with a washer dryer combo. You essentially purchase a two-for-one appliance which is able to wash and dry all in one. The great thing is these machines don't need to vent and will save you money on your power and water bills over time. Many people are now opting to purchase this type of washer since it frees up just as much space as a stackable set, but without the dryer sitting so high up in the air.
