If you want to place your washer dryer combination in an open kitchen, close to your home office or bedroom, you need a silent washer dryer combination. This has a noise level of 73 decibels or less, so you'll hear less disturbing noises when you're washing. This way, you can continue working or watching a movie while the silent machine washes and dries your clothes. Do you put your washer dryer combination in a closed space? A louder model is no problem.
