We all know that most Japanese live in really cramped spaces, so it is no wonder that their homes are filled with devices that feature more than just a single function. Take the Toshiba TW-3000VE for example - this is a washing machine that only gives you clean laundry, it helps keep you and your household stay cool thanks to the integrated air conditioner.

I guess small utility areas could do with a little air conditioning help, especially when it prevents the space from experiencing mold growth. The TW-3000VE can handle up to 9kg of clothing, while the dryer packs in around 6kg at one go. Choose from silver, champagne gold, or shining orange colors for $2,600 a pop from next month onwards.
