With regards the first item on his list, in the UK we have things called "Washer-Driers" which both wash and dry clothes. I find it hard to believe that the USA doesn't have such a thing, but the evidence suggests this to be the case.

Curious.

And it's been mentioned before on HN http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=602515

For some reason the comments there suggest the models used don't work very well. Mine works beautifully.

And regularly.

I'm in the US, and I've seen them (here's one at Target: http://www.target.com/Haier-Front-Load-Washer-Dryer-Combo/dp...). From what I've seen, they're more expensive. Also, if you're doing N loads, it takes longer if you have one combo unit (2N time) than if you had a separate washer and dryer (N+1).
