I have been watching a lot of HGTV lately for tips to sell our house
(moving into a new one in the fall) and noticed this thing on a lot of
the UK shows and it is bothering me.
The thing I noticed is what I assume to be some sort of kitchen
appliance it is always white and looks like a small front loading
washing machine.
It is bothering me because I have no idea what it is, they never say
what it is and I have never seen anything like it in a kitchen in
Canada or any kind of renovation show outside of the UK, yet almost
every show that has been filmed in the UK has had one!.
What is this thing!!!!!!!!

Beats me. I can't think of one single appliance that is always white. My
first thought was a dishwasher but they can be stainless, a color or even
paneled wood to match the other cabinets. Perhaps you need Leslie. She
does a heap of house selling. I don't know that she's sold one in UK but
I'll bet she'd give it a try if the notion struck her. Polly

I think it might be the water heater. In many older homes in England, the
water heater is located near the kitchen sink. In the shows I've seen, they
usually want to enclose them.

It is a washing machine dryer combo. Toss in the load of clothes and after
they wash the machine goes into "dryer mode". Some are just front loader
washers and people use and , sit down and hang on, they use clothes lines or
racks to dry their clothes. Having the machine installed under the counter
in the kitchen is common in Europe.
Scroll down on this link to washer/dryer and it will tell you how they work.

THanks Val,
I just couldn't imagine what kind of appliance would look so much like
a front loading washing machine in the Kitchen. I have seen the washer
dryer combo before but I doubt they are very popular here as I have
only seen one in a store.
It must take FOREVER to laundry that way!
I suppose I find it a little odd that someone would do their laundry
in the kitchen but I suppose if that is where you have room for it,
that is where you do it!
