Ah, the wonders of dry air in Australia Seriously, I live in the
northeast US, and my basement is damp.

Yes indeed, this dry air in Australia you speak of - it does sound
wonderful! As a girl who grew up in Australia [Melbourne] I would have loved
some of that dry air occasionally. ;-) Now I live in Vancouver, Canada and
to be honest the weather is not all that different! It is about say 5
degrees cooler on average, but still humid. :-) I have to use a dryer or a
drying rack indoors or I would never get anything dry here. I recall doing
much the same in Australia, excepting a couple of months in summer when we
could hang out loads of washing in between the downpours. ;-)

I want some sort of laundry appliance that washes, drains the water, and
automatically turns into a dryer. If it could fold and put my clothes
away too, that would be good. I tend to live out of the clean clothes
basket for a while before it all goes in drawers.


They do have such a thing, but at this point, it's pretty pricey -- around
$1,000. And that's just the first link I brought up. There might be other
brands.

I don't think it folds though... : )

These are common enough in the UK (the dryer part, not the folding),
tho I hated the one I had. My current front loader washer gets things
dryer than that contraption ever did, and it's not a dryer. Apparently
they're making them now in the US, not sure if they're better or not.

The trouble with a combined is that firstly, if it breaks down (and its
usually the dryer that blows) the whole machine tends to be out of
commission; and secondly if you look at the recommended load sizes, the
drying load is something like half the recommended washing load. So you're
supposed to stop it and take half out?! Nah. Silly.
