Not all apartment dwellers are given enough space for their laundry appliances. In most cases, they would have to share the laundry area with neighbors. But this can be frustrating, not to mention, stressful.
You can buy your own washer and dryer to avoid complications. These appliances do not have to take up a lot of space in your home. When buying, remember the following guidelines:
Small Appliances
1. Although space is an issue, you also have to think of capacity. Look for compact laundry appliances with a comparatively big drum capacity. Better yet, choose washer and dryer combo machine so you can save space and just go for a machine with a bigger capacity. This way, you can wash more clothes in one go. It will help lessen your energy consumption.
2. Choose a washer that you can easily install. Ask about the installation process of the washer and dryer. You might want to look for a ventless dryer instead of a vented one. Most combination washer and dryer today have ventless dryer features. This means you wouldn't have to direct the exhaust vent outside the apartment to dispel hot air. You just have to set it up just like an ordinary washer and the machine will recycle hot air.
3. Look for quiet features. One of the disadvantages of living in a small apartment is the distribution of noise. If you are using a noisy washer, the sound can easily be heard in the other parts of the apartment. Your neighbors might also get irritated with the sound.
4. Choose a durable washer. While you cannot really tell the durability of a machine at first glance, you can determine the manufacturing companies that develop durable appliances. Choose the right brand and check out the features before buying.
You can also read reviews to find out what other people are saying about the machine. Find out if more than half of its buyers are satisfied with its performance.
5. Calculate maintenance and repair costs. Just in case the washer breaks down in the future, you would want to know if it will cost a lot of money. In general, the more expensive and the more modern the washer is, the more expensive the maintenance will get.
Think about the cost of replacing broken parts. You would want to choose a machine with simple and straightforward features rather than an excessively modern washer with spiffy features. Although they are less efficient, they are far less likely to give you headaches when it comes to repair and maintenance.

Ideal for one person or two, this compact electric griddle with its 8-1/2-by-10-1/2-inch cooking surface cooks four fried eggs or two good-sized steaks. Coated with a slightly textured, durable nonstick finish, the griddle requires very little grease, thereby producing healthier food. For fattier meats like bacon, a built-in channel along one end catches drippings. When the griddle’s heat control is removed, the unit is fully submersible in warm, soapy water. The 1000-watt griddle plugs into any 120-volt outlet and automatically maintains temperatures ranging from warm to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Made of cast aluminum that resists warping and distributes heat evenly, the griddle measures 14-3/4 by 10 by 2-1/2 inches (the heat-resistant leg-handle units can be unscrewed for even more compact storage), and is covered by a one-year warranty against defects. --Ann BieriSAVE NOW on Black Friday offers below!
