COMPACT WASHER-DRYER
If you’ve ever envied a European friend’s compact washer-dryer lodged snugly in a closet, envy no more. The space-saving, all-in-one machines are now available in the U.S., imported by Equator Corp. of Houston. Built by a major Italian appliance maker, the EZ 1000 is a 110-volt version of the 220-volt units standard in Europe. It’s aimed at the growing market of singles, couples, and the elderly in condos and apartments, not at suburban married-with-kids homes.
