Save with a new washer dryer combination
The disadvantage of an old washer dryer combination is that it consumes a lot of energy. An old washer dryer combination consumes up to 2 times more energy than a new one. The old washer dryer combinations often have A or B energy labels, which are old energy labels. Nowadays, washer dryer combinations have new energy labels that indicate the consumption more accurately. A washer dryer combination with the new C energy label is the most energy-efficient.
