Aloha all, Reading all of this about washers reminded me of this appliance that I encountered in a beach house rental back in the 70s. It was a front loading combination washer and dryer. First you washed the clothes and then you used another dial to set the thing to dry the clothes. It was pretty amazing. It was under the kitchen cabinet right next to the dishwasher. I've never seen one since. Betsy
