These all-in-one devices take less time to dry and wash, and are ventless, meaning they don't draw the conditioned air from your home to vent outdoors.

The clothes are also treated with a lower temperature. Read on to learn more about this amazing laundry technology.

1. Saves Energy

The use of heat pumps isn't limited to cooling and heating homes and are now being utilized in clothes dryers as well. An ENERGY STAR certified heat pump dryer consumes 28% less energy than a traditional dryer, and could save you money on electric bills. They operate at a lower temperature to reduce wear and tear and damage on your clothes.

During the drying process heat pump dryers use the same air recycled through the washing machine, but it goes through a condenser coil in the evaporator unit to warm up and cool the air. The warm air is transferred to the drum in order to continue drying clothes. This means that a heat pump dryer will not have to exhaust the moisture-laden air as vented dryers do.

It is important to make your appliances as energy efficient as possible, as the laundry process consumes a lot of energy. The most efficient way to do this is to pair an efficient washer with a high-efficiency heat pump dryer. This will allow you to lock in maximum efficiency, and start saving money on energy immediately.

Check out our selection of ENERGY SSTAR-certified dryers and washers to get started. You can sort results by model and energy consumption, wash cycles, or spin speed. Be sure to check the yellow Energy Guide Label to see how much each appliance will cost to run each year.

Combining washer-dryers is another excellent option for households that can't afford two separate machines or don't have enough space to accommodate them. They plug into a standard 120-volt outlet and don't require a venting system or special hookups of 240-volts. These units are perfect for apartments and condominiums as they can be placed in the cupboard or under counters.

2. Reduces Noise

The majority of traditional dryers employ an electric or hot gas coil to heat the air which evaporates moisture from your laundry. The vaporized air is then blown outside of your home, taking with it the conditioned air, which you pay to cool in the summer and warm in the winter. Your home has to perform overtime to make up for the lack of condition by bringing in replacement air from gaps and cracks in your walls and around doors.

The heat pump washer dryers move humidity from one place to another rather than venting it and heating it, tumble Dryers with heat pump which is fantastic news for those who live in homes that can't accommodate more airflow. It is also possible to put in washer/dryer combos in areas that vented dryers might not be suitable, such as under stairs. This will not affect the energy efficiency or performance.

All-in-one units have a number of advantages However, they also have some disadvantages. It's important to allow enough time for each load since all-in-one machines take longer to complete their cycles than traditional washers/dryers. Combining two appliances will also reduce the amount of laundry that you can do in a single load, as it takes an hour longer to dry whites and colors than if they were separate machines.

Many manufacturers have started to address these issues by offering easy solutions. LG's top-rated washer-dryer combo, for example, has a feature where you can prop the door slightly open while it is running to avoid water pooling and drying the drum. A lot of LG models, such as our top pick, feature a small drainage hole in the bottom laundry tub that lets water drain instead of pooling. You can also buy sound blankets that are fitted around your heat pump in order to minimize the noise.

3. Reduces wear and tear

When a heat pump dryer is working, it doesn't warm up the air like a traditional dryer--it just removes the moisture from the clothes which means it's much gentler on fabrics than a regular model. It also conserves energy because it doesn't need to use the energy required to heat up the air to dry the garments.

Heat-pump dryers require more maintenance than standalone dryers due to the fact that the condensate drain tube needs to be cleaned frequently to avoid obstructions. But, this isn't too different from cleaning a standard dryer.

The combination of washer and dryer from heat pumps does not vent. This means you can use them in your home without cutting into the exterior wall to install ductwork. This is great for those who live in apartments as well as college students and others who don't want to spend more money or change their living space.

Heat-pump systems dry clothes slower than traditional tumble dryers with Heat Pump because they don't get nearly as hot. Many people were hesitant utilize them due to the fact that they don't become as hot. However manufacturers have stepped up their technology and the LG Signature LUWM101HWA, a heat pump dryer which is on our list of top dryers, comes with a typical drying time of 37 to 70 min.

The most important thing to reduce drying time is not overdoing the amount of detergent, which could result in excessive suds that can prolong cycles and leaves a slimy residue on your clothes (readers write to us frequently about this problem). Make sure you use the recommended amount of high efficiency detergents, and keep the dispenser drawer clean. This will ensure that the machine is running at its best and will not waste your money and energy.

4. Reduces Lint

When drying your clothes using a heat pump dryer, it uses much less air than vented gas or electric dryers. This is because it doesn't blast hot, humid air into your clothes, but instead extracts air at room temperature around your clothes. The vapor is then heated by your washer and used to evaporate the moisture from your laundry.

A heat pump washer weighs 88 pounds. This isn't as heavy as a vented gas dryer or an electric dryer. This is a huge issue if you intend to mount it on the wall or put it in the closet, which might not have enough space to accommodate a vent.

Lint buildup is a major issue for all dryers. However the heat pump dryer's low temperatures limit the amount lint that can clog up the exhaust and stop the clothes from drying to their full potential. This also reduces the risk of fire threatening your dryer or in its exhaust. This can occur when volatile solvents and oil from your laundry are able to enter the vent or dryer's evaporator.

To prevent the build-up of lint Be sure to clean your dryer duct at least once a year (more often if you have children or pets). A leaf blower or wire brush can help you get rid of any lint build-up between the ridges in your accordion hose. It's safer to do this outside rather than inside if possible.

To prevent drying out, be sure to use a detergent with low suds and follow the manufacturer's instructions on how to set your water level. Also, separate laundry by kinds of fabrics and wash delicates like silk with heavy cottons or linens. You won't overdye, shrink or over-dry your delicates and the moisture sensor will be able to determine when your laundry is dry enough to end the cycle.

5. Space Saver Space

Since heat pump dryers recycle and reuse hot air, they consume less energy than vented dryers. This could help you save money on energy bills, and also on the energy cost to heat or cool your home.

This method is also more gentle on fabrics, which reduces shrinkage and wear--a major benefit when dealing with expensive clothing. It also removes the need for lint-clogged vents, and reduces the energy consumed by conventional dryers to heat the air in the room prior to entering the dryer. This helps keep your heating costs low.

These units are compact and only take only the space of a few inches more than the best vented washers. They're not vented, so you can place them wherever you want to with water and a 110-volt outlet.
