Does anybody remember
when Maytag took a stab at this. It matched the Neptune washer, and the dryer had a trying cabinet on top of the dryer. It was taller than a refrigerator and cost over a thousand dollars.

Old ideas
They will be reviving the clothes horse with the convector heater on the bottom next. And what else? The relaunch of the Flatley drier perhaps. This was about the size of a (UK) single tub machine which had racks in. Loaded from the top they were lowered inside the machine with the clothes on them of course.
Gary, keep your eyes peeled at work - it could be the next big thing - yes, we are back in 1959!

Well if you stand your clothes horse up in the middle of the room, you're BOUND to trip up and/or knock it over! Lmao
Friends of mine here have the Neptune drying center and absolutely love it!!!

My Keymatic owning aunt had a drying cabinet that was about the size of a twin tub....drape things over the (galvanised) rods and turn it on where the single radiator bar in the bottom would dry everything very quickly....
...but heaven forbid if you forgot it....
...and as for refrigerator sized cabinets, my other aunt in Sydney has had one since 1972 - it works a treat.

Look at the video where the guy is putting on his just dried sweater. The shoulders still look damp to me.
I remember those Maytag drying closets on top of the washer. It seems those were all the rage around 2001 or so. Every place that sold Maytag had one on display.
You don't see them anymore. I imagine the demand wasn't there for them.

Here is a pic of the maytag dryer and cabinet combo. It is an interesting idea, but they sure weren't around long.
In the 80's a static dryer was launched here and became very popular.
It was cheap, easy to install (4 holes drilled on the wall) and could dry clothes really fast.
As most of you know (I always said that here) tumble dryers are not so popular in Brazil due to our very hot weather and really short winters so most people think "why would i spend money buying a tumble dryer, plus the energy to operate it if I can dry my clothes in MINUTES using clothes lines or drying racks?"
The first company to launch this kind of dryer, here called static dryer, was Enxuta. It sold so much that frightened Brastemp (the brazillian whirlpol and also the biggest)
Until the last year of production (Enxuta broke in 2001) this dryers could be bought even on supermarkets costing aprox. R$100,00 (little bit more than 50 dollars considering today rate) The machine was very simple, consists on a small metal housing where the blower, element, control panel and 7 hangers are and a plastic chamber. (people authorized to see my collection on webcam can see it in operation)
The plastic chamber inflates when the machine is running and the saturated air comes out through holes on the sides and bottom of the chamber.
Of course it's a POS if used as a daily driver, but helps a lot when one needs to dry a small load and it's raining or cold.
while my new tumble dryer doesn't arrive, both Enxuta and Mueller dryers are doing wonders here. They take aprox 30 minutes to dry a load of 7 T-shirts.
Best of all, when not in use the chamer can be folded and these machines come with an special bracket so even the metal cabinet can be folded and use an insignificant space on the wall.
Until today there are many other brands here. Some of them still use the plastic chamber, others use a Tyvek chamber with a transparent plastic front.
When John came to visit me, he loved it and almost bought one, but he was afraid of the American customs. A machine like this can easily fit in a briefcase.
Best of all, this machine can also be used as clothes line. just hang the clothes in it and leave the chamber open or remove it.

Gosh, those foldable dryers are sold here since at least the early 90s, mostly Chinese made! 
OMG gabriele! Why so late?
The first model here (from Enxuta) was launched in 1978.
