![]() ![]() So other options are also getting more energy efficient and even dual units can come in smaller sizes to better fit smaller spaces. While residential laundry machine technology has been advancing. The space saving and energy efficiency, though, makes them very popular option for Tiny houses in the states but those with lots of cloths or families still tend to go with the more traditional dual machine or stacked combo options. They also tend to be vent-less, so can have some humidity issues for the interior of the house. Along with getting used to the type of evaporation drying it uses that can leave the cloths feeling cool, which can make people think the cloths are still wet even when dry. Thus the learning curve, as you have to get used to the proper amount of cloths to put into it. ![]() Everything just has trade offs… Depending on the size of the load, an all in one washer dryer typically takes two to three hours to wash and dry laundry, sometimes longer, which you are usually more limited in capacity than a similar size washer because the same space also has to accommodate the drying process that normally requires more space than the washer for the air flow needed to dry the cloths. They are very energy efficient, they use about 50% less water than traditional washing machines and nearly 70% less electricity. Often also called a condo washer dryer due to the limited amount of space it takes up. Just more popular in Europe and Asia than in the states. It’s not actually new, they’ve been around for more than a decade now. If you go to their website and look up this model series, you’ll see the diagram but also three separate galleries below it to the three different custom models they’ve built “recently”, this model being the one to the left titled “Foothills Tiny”… Each of the three were customized differently and there’s a few more photos in those galleries than shown here… Like it shows the daybed storage with some of the drawers pulled out, a sitting chair across from the day bed and a closet that occupies the space directly below the stairs, along with a few other details for the rest of the layout, which may help visualize the layout better… It’s a simple overhead look of the layout that is like having the ceiling removed to look down, the loft still blocks your view of what’s below it… While the custom version of the layout will of course have some differences from the default layout, like 2 additional exterior doors in this model, but the basic floor plan is the same otherwise… Thus the diagram only shows the interior door to enter the corner room from the kitchen but everything else is covered by the loft details, which is what I meant when I said it was not layered. So the loft details are covering up the main level details that’s directly below it. Two, it’s a flattened image of both levels. Not quite, just two things to understand about the diagram… One is it’s the default layout but the photos are of a custom built model that changes have been made to the layout. ![]()
