Hmmm a popup via the homenet that the wash is done? With all that technology, why won't it put it in the dryer for me? Actually, now that they've gone to front-loading for the washers, I think there is a single washer-dryer model out there. Let me modify my previous to have the machines fold and put away the clothes.
Yes there are now combination washer/dryers, here is a link to the one I purchased 8 months ago. It does a better job than any I have ever owned. It's reduced my water and gas usage by quite a bit.
It also has a delay timer that can be set so when you leave they are done when you get back, if you are delayed it keeps them going in a cool-down mode until you take them out.
You put all the detergent, fabric softner, bleach in compartments in a drawer and they are dispensed automatically as needed.
