I decided to use the space in the combined bathroom and laundry more wisely and purchased a LG Inverter DirectDrive 8.5/4.5 kg washer dryer to tackle the main laundry duties. It’s a great space saver.
Once the bathroom and laundry renovations were complete the resulting European style, compact laundry configuration turned out to be a very practical setup. The front loading washer dryer works great and the extra cupboard space we were able to add to the room has made a huge difference.
