Choosing the best stackable washer and dryer combo starts with measuring the dimensions of your available space and considering the ideal capacity for your typical laundry loads. There are many depth and height measurements available for stacked laundry appliances and a few width options.

Next, consider your hookup and venting allowances. Having a gas hookup will dictate whether or not you choose a stackable washer with a gas dryer or a stackable electric washer and dryer. Where the dryer vent is located is also based on what is available in your space. If there is no built-in vent system for a laundry unit, you can choose a ventless stackable washer and dryer set.

Finally, narrow your choices by the feature you prefer. Do you want a top-load washing machine or a front-load washing machine? Are there any washing settings you prefer? Would you want a smart dryer with moisture sensing or a machine with just temperature and time settings?

Having a stacked washer and dryer allows you the convenience of in-home laundry even when you don’t have a full laundry room. In fact, a compact stackable washer and dryer unit can even be slim enough to fit inside a closet. It is important, however, to ensure that these washer-dryer towers are installed and secured correctly.

You must purchase a washer and dryer stacking kit to fit your appliances’ brand and model. Before installing a washer and dryer, it’s a good idea to read up on how to stack a washer and dryer in your home. You can also make life easier by scheduling an appointment with someone from an appliance delivery and installation team. They can help you set up your gas/electric lines and do the heavy lifting to create your new stacked laundry center. 

If your home is too tiny even for a stacked washing machine and dryer, you might consider the even more compact option of the single-appliance washer-dryer combo.
