This is too hard for me to implement by myself so I'm giving away this idea in hopes that some one runs with it.
Well, I doubt anyone will, but what do you think of it? I've had the idea for quite some time now, I'm curious what you guys think.

The first time I'd ever seen one of these things was in Dubai at a hotel/apartment. I'm surprised they aren't proliferating through Asia given the limited amount of space but I figure give it time.
Incidentally, the cost on these washer dryer combo's aren't excessively high... in fact probably just a relatively small premium above what a good washer or dryer cost.
People living in deserts (Dubai excepted, SOCA included) probably don't want one.
But in this case, if you leave the clothes in the baskets they just get wrinkled and look like crap. Rich people don't like to look like crap, so they still have to fold and put them away. So all it saves you is loading/unloading some clothes in and out of washes, and since highend machines are side loaders these days, it's pretty easy already.
1. It seems to ignore the idea that some clothes need to be put on hangers so they don't wrinkle.
2. Not everyone tumble-dries everything (some clothes shrink, and all clothes wear out faster when tumble-dried -- that blue lint in the filter is your clothes wearing out)
3. How does a horizontal tumble-dryer work? The "tumble" part requires gravity.
