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 71dB or less, so you're less bothered by annoying noises when you're washing. This way, you can continue working or watching a movie while the silent machine washes and dries your clothes. Placing your washer dryer combination in a closed space? A louder model is no problem.
