Well, this is perfect! Now all they have to do is find a way to...I got it!

Have a washer on top of a dryer (unconventional, yes), and when the washer is done and the water has been drained, the bottom portion of the washer opens up and dumps the wet clothes into the dryer - and automatically start the dryer upon closing the hatch. All that needs to happen now is an automated process to fill up the washer and a way for clothes to be automatically dumped from a dryer to a bin to be folded up by a machine. :-D

You have never washed your own cloth I guess :)

Our washer/dryer is in the Garage. Washing cycle... 20 minutes, drying cycle 35 minutes.
If you need to do several loads it is nice to be reminded where the dryer is in its cycle so you can start the next wash. Also, you don't have to run all over the house just to check if the dryer is finished and ready for the next load !

Or simply integrate a dryer function into a washing machine :)

Well, you could save yourself the hassle and buy one of the many washer/dryer combos already on the market. But if you insist on making your own, you could always pull an Apple and after you've made it, claim it's a "world first" and sue the other companies for their lack of vision!

Smart homes have been gaining popularity in South Korea for couple years now. My uncle's home in SK has everything hooked up online. Kinda weird imo...

Front loading washer = mildew after a year or so of use. Look at any reviews. I even have the Samsung with "Silver care". I need to use washing machine cleaner to kill the mildew monthly now. I live in a desert. Not impressed.

Hopefully some of the future designs can come up with a solution for that too.
