That statement is misleading. Not every washing machine can dry clothes.
🧠 The real explanation
🧺 1) Regular washing machines (most homes)
- They do NOT dry clothes completely
- They only have a spin cycle
- Spinning removes water, but clothes will still be damp
🔄 2) Washer-dryer combo machines
Washer-dryer combo
- These can fully dry laundry
- Use heat or condensation drying
- Less common and usually more expensive
💨 3) High-speed spin = “almost dry”
Some modern washers:
- Spin very fast (1000–1600 RPM)
- Remove most water
👉 Clothes may feel “nearly dry,” but still need air drying
⚠️ Why people get confused
- Social media calls spinning “drying”
- Clothes come out less wet → seems like drying
- But no heat = no true drying
🧠 Bottom line
- ❌ Not every washing machine can dry clothes
- ✔️ Only washer-dryer combos actually dry
- ✔️ Regular machines only spin out water
