LG Combo Washer/Dryer

As far as technology goes, the big news this year is LG's WM3632HW combo washer dryer. Not a stackable system, but this combination washer/dryer is one appliance that both washes and dries clothes. The LG is the first full size (22lb capability) washer dryer combination in the United States. Great for city dwellers, apartments, condos, and folks with no room to spare, this sleek looking unit is a one -stop shop for laundry. Note: combo units take a bit longer to wash and dry and can only dry 12 pounds at a time, but if you're strapped for space its worth it. $1900; www.lge.com
