Golbalize tag- Talk of "pounds" and "a regular 110-volt socket" and phrases like "hook up" are clearly written by an American referring to the USA only. This needs revising/expanding for a more balanced world view. CPMartin (talk) 09:36, 22 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Come to think of it, the whole article looks a bit informal and US-biased. Lots of other sections need global balancing too. CPMartin (talk) 09:41, 22 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

That picture isn't of a washer-dryer combo. It's clearly labeled as a picture of a heat pump. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 63.230.241.202 (talk) 14:53, 8 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Heat Pump Combo[edit]

The article mentions a Toshiba heat pump combo, I think they are referring to this one https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Combo_washer_dryer&action=edit&section=1, which is industrial sized. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 1.129.97.51 (talk) 00:59, 1 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Merging Washer and Dryer History[edit]

I propose that Early history of washing machines and Early history of drying machines sections of this article be merged into the Early machines section of Washing machine and the History section of Clothes dryer respectively. Though relevant to the history of combo machines, the History of combination washers and dryers section should reference washer and dryer history, but need not provide details.

Sounds reasonable. The material stranded here is unlikely to be found by anyone looking for it in more plausible locations. It should be merged as you suggest. Reify-tech (talk) 03:48, 24 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Done. Softtest123 (talk) 00:30, 22 April 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Moved External Link[edit]

I removed this link from the Reference section: Portable Washer and Dryer Combo. I saw the warning under External Links and I'm not sure what the big deal is. This link looks like a review of some washer dryer combos and is perhaps too commercial for this article. Also a Bare URL. Softtest123 (talk) 00:33, 23 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

It was link spam, and won't be missed. Reify-tech (talk) 03:48, 24 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
