In average, americans, even if not overweight, are pretty big fellows. Try fitting lots of XXXL clothes in a Korean Washer-Drier that usually limits loads to some 8kg when using the drying cycle, even if the machine is rated to 12kg for washing, and you'll see the point of a separate drier.

This is the kind of thing I mean when I say "Americans give me weird anecdotes". 'Americans can't use washer-dryers because they're more fat than everyone else in the world' has got to be the strangest case of American exceptionalism I've ever had to read.
