If you’ve already bought a washing machine or clothes dryer, you can build kitchen/laundry cabinets to house them, but this will mean the cabinets will be bigger and deeper than normal. A truly integrated appliance is generally smaller as it will need to be housed within a run of standard kitchen cupboards. Given the costs of building bespoke cupboards it would be unusual to use free-standing washing machines and dryers in this way.
A steamer and steam iron effectively do the same thing, but there are differences. An iron has a flat metal surface that uses heat (and steam) to press creases out of clothes.
A steamer removes wrinkles without direct contact with the fabric, instead using a jet of stem directed at the clothing but not actually touching it. Steamers are perfect for delicate fabrics like silk, satin, jersey and chiffon or for those difficult-to-iron ruffles and getting wrinkles out of a suit jacket.
Irons are the ideal appliance if you want a crisp finish and sharp creases and are best for fabrics such as cotton and linen.
Some people have design aesthetics as a high priority and want a matching pair, especially if the laundry is in a high visibility area. In some instances, the machines need to be stacked and so having a matching pair or washing machine and clothes dryer offers the best option.
For many people, their choice of laundry appliances is based on both need and budget. Some may choose to spend more on a washing machine with a greater capacity and features and get a cheaper dryer. Others who don't have access to outdoor washing lines, may want to spend more on a clothes dryer with advanced technology. Matching pairs are also only available with front-loader washing machines, not top-loaders.
Choosing your top-load washer depends on space, budget and needs. If you have a large family or household, a big top loader washing machine may be ideal as some models can take a wash load of up to 12kg. The washing cycles of these top-load washing machines are generally quick, they are simple to use and it’s easier to load items and more detergent mid-cycle, making laundry day easier than ever.
You can’t install a top-loader washing machine under a benchtop, or stack them under a dryer. Top load washers use more water than front loaders, are tougher on clothes and don’t have as many functions.
Front-load washing machines are more expensive but they offer a wider range of washing cycles, are thought to clean better than top loaders, and easier on your back to unload and are more energy efficient. Front load washers also offer good wash load capacity with some models able to take up to 11kg. There are also options for much smaller ones in case you need to save space.
