Having a reliable washing machine and dryer can help laundry time to run smoothly and quickly. With more washer dryer set options available, you can find the right fit for the space and needs of your home.
Compact washers & dryers for tighter spaces
If your home has limited space, consider purchasing a compact washer and dryer set. These devices are more narrow than average washing machines and sometimes come stacked on top of each other to take up less floor space.
On top of being more compressed, these machines can also be energy efficient and use less water, which over time can save you money on utility bills. If you don’t have the port for the device, some compact washing machines are portable and just need to be plugged in and have close access to running water.
Smart laundry machines
If you enjoy using smart home appliances, consider purchasing a smart laundry machine to ease some of the tasks during the laundry process.
A smart machine can allow you to remotely monitor your wash load right from an app on your phone. From the app, you can also adjust wash settings to your liking and be notified when clothes are finished with the washing cycle and when it’s time to load them into the dryer.
Washing machines are an investment towards the cleanliness of your household. Before choosing a device, consider the space you have to work with, if you have standard ports, and your overall needs to pick the best machine for your home.

Kyung Kim
Hi, I'm Kyung Kim. I immigrated from South Korea to the United States in 1968 when I was 7 years old. I have seen my mom struggle with the English language and work hard to raise her four kids by herself. Still to this day, I don't know how she pulled it off, but she bought her first home in 1979 for $70,000 and because of that decision, she was able to live without worrying about her financial future. I want that for everyone, to feel the pride of home ownership and to build their financial wealth using real estate as part of their financial portfolio. I feel so blessed to play a small role in helping others reach this goal.
I live in Beaverton with my husband, Richard. My mom, who lived with us for several years, passed away in our home in February 2022. Her first home purchase in 1979 made it possible for her to live to the very end, without worrying about her finances. As of August 2022 with a little downpayment assistance, our four children own their own homes. Being in real estate, I quickly realized that if they didn't buy now, they may be priced out of the market in the future. Whether that would have been the case, we will never know, but what we do know is that they are all realizing some good, healthy appreciation in their home values.
As passionate as I am about people owning their homes, I'm also passionate about giving back to our community. I support Compassion First, a non-profit organization that provides aftercare for sex trafficked girls in Indonesia. My husband and I also feel called to financially support social injustice organizations.
I'd love to assist you. Whether you're in the research phase at the beginning of your real estate search or you know exactly what you're looking for, you'll benefit from having a real estate professional by your side. I'd be honored to put my real estate experience to work for you.
