The Benefits of Compact Laundry

by Wiens Furniture & Appliances

Sometimes, less really is more. Most consumers purchase large washing machines because the large load capacity is appealing. There's nothing wrong with large laundry, but compact laundry should not be considered inferior, and we’re here to tell you why!

Save Space

The most obvious reason why we love compact laundry is that it takes up less space! Full-size washers are about the same depth as compact ones but are a little wider. This may not seem like much, but adding a dryer right next to it means you’ve just lost a lot of floor space! Even in a large laundry room, the extra space could be used for other purposes, such as an ironing board, hamper, or extra storage. When a room isn’t jammed full, it creates a calming atmosphere which is exactly what you want for doing laundry.

Save Money

We all like to save a little money here and there, and a compact pair will help you do so. It uses less water and power per load. Even if you have to run more loads to get through your laundry basket, the loads are quicker and more efficient in cleaning your clothes. If you have a household of 1-2 people, this will benefit your house greatly!

Save Time

Smaller loads mean shorter wash times. Even if your load limit is less, you’ll find yourself doing a load here and there throughout the week, instead of devoting a full day to laundry! Popping in a load here and there will make laundry feel easier and keep you on top of things.
