| Why not just get one of those front-loading washer/dryer combo machines instead? |

They actually dry them! But not all do, so if buying an older one, exercise due diligence. If in doubt look for a control or setting labeled "건조" (dry) on the front of the machine.
The place I lived in last year came with one made by LG ("Tromm") which even heated its own water and was wonderfully quiet. This year we've bought our own, a second-hand Samsung which isn't quite as quiet, and needs a hot-water hookup, but it still has the drying function. |

| Hmm, I dunno. TBH, we seldom/never use the drying function as we are energy-conscious hang-drying types. Best to get yourself into a store and ask questions, or maybe download some English owner's manuals (I did notice LG Tromm front-end loaders for sale in the west, so the manuals are presumably online somewhere). Good luck! |
