Baguni 'hamper in' washing machine should be installed at every dorm
With the Baguni washing machine, you could put your basket of clothes right into the machine — easy in, easy out. After that, I guess you still have to dump your wet clothes into a dryer, but at least you won't have to get your arms wet pulling it all out, right? I'm still waiting for the day when washing and drying is done by just one unit. If it folds the clothes, too, I'll marry it.
Check out the gallery below for more of the Baguni, a concept by designer Jihyung Jung.

Actually the washer/dryer combos do exist. Here are two models that you can look for:
1. Haier XQG50-11 Combo VENTLESS Washer/Dryer
2. LG Washer/Dryer Combo Unit - WM3431HW

HANG YOUR CLOTHES TO DRY
It works well and it's free.

@Matt
Your post was well intentioned, but hanging clothes to dry is significantly more difficult for some people than others.
For instance, I really don't have room to hang more then a few day's worth of clothes up in my dorm room (and even then I would constantly be hitting them), and the high today was a balmy 23° so hanging them outside is not a solution.

Okay, seriously? Really?
Washer/Dryer combo units aren't only in existence, they've been around since the early 90's!
The only reason they haven't been more successful in there upbringing is there total inefficiency when it comes to electricity and awkward designs that are impractical and fail prone.
There are just some things better left to separate units, and it astonishes me someone reviewing laundry machine technologies is completely ignorant of one of the bigger design failures in that said feild....
