Washer/Dryer Combo Unit

[AKA-None]

I think everyone is agreeing that spinning to remove the most water is best
That’s what my home machine does and things come out almost dry

I have a vented Splendide combo unit, which I am very happy with, and had one on my previous boat as well. In both cases, I replaced the existing unvented Splendide combo which I was not happy with.
Best,

True, but a dedicated washing machine works much better than the washer function of a combi unit. I think the capacity is higher as well.

About propane driers: for every pound of propane you burn, you get 1.6 pounds of moisture into the boat. Burning propane inside boats is a bad idea for that reason alone.
