How do washer and dryer capacity compare?
I'm trying to compare washer and dryer capacities.
Manufacturer's literature for Europe might say 5Kg for a washer, 7Kg for a dryer. What do the weights refer to? I thought that the washer weight was for dry clothes, but I don't know how the dryer weight is determined. If the dryer weight is supposed to be the spun dry weight, then a 7Kg capacity dryer probably is needed to go with a 5Kg washer. If the weight is measured the same as the washer load weight then I could get a smaller dryer. Literature for the US seems to use cubic feet, and typically a 4.5 cubic foot dryer is paired with a 7+ cubic foot washer, which I assume reflects the need for more open space for the drying operation. Similarly, reviews of Washer/Dryer combination units (i.e., you don't move the clothing, as contrasted with stackable units) typically indicate that a full load cannot be dried in the unit.) Thanks. |
