Washer Dryer Combos

A washer-dryer combo is a washer and dryer in one complete appliance that can fit in great with the other six appliance essentials for small space living. A home or apartment that doesn’t have a devoted laundry room is ideal for a washer-dryer combo, since it can wash and dry your clothes in one single unit. You may also find the combo beneficial if you line-dry most of your clothes but still want a dryer on hand for rainy days or heavy items like towels and jeans.

Along with achieving a smaller physical presence and contributing to a smaller carbon footprint, especially with ENERGY STAR certified washer-dryer combos, having a washer and dryer in one unit eliminates the need to move clothing from one machine to another. So, you can put in a load of laundry before you go to work and return home to clean and dry clothes.

If you find that anything of your clothes are wrinkled, you can press them with a clothes iron or use a fabric steamer to remove wrinkles. And if you want additional laundry options, consider investing in a laundry pedestal—where you can store detergents, irons, steamers and more—or a pedestal washer, which is useful for small or delicate loads.

A good rule of thumb for new appliance delivery and installation is, "measure twice and install once." Remember, in addition to measuring the appliance space for your washer-dryer combo, you need to measure all the doorways that your new appliance will travel through when coming inside. You will also want to verify that you have the right voltage outlet available for your machine.

When considering how much space you have for your washing dryer, expect to leave an extra 1" - 3" on the sides of the machine and 4" - 6" on the back for the washer accessories, like hoses and cords, and dryer accessories. Keep in mind, for homes without a devoted laundry room, you may need a ventless wash and dry machine.
