Our Best Stacked Washer Dryers
If your laundry space is short on square footage, you know how difficult it can be to fit all of your appliances and essentials (along with a pile of clothes) in one place. Luckily, there are several different space-saving laundry appliance options that can maximize the amount of usable space, whether you live in an apartment, condo, or just a smaller-sized home. One of those efficient options is a stacked washer dryer.
Rising in popularity amongst apartment residents and loft-dwellers and alike, stacked washer dryer combos eliminate the need for additional space for two separate laundry appliances. To help you learn more about these seamless, square-footage-saving laundry appliances, we’ve put together a guide that will break down stacked washer dryers and the advantages they can bring to your smaller-scale abode, along with our best all in one laundry models available.
Benefits of a Stacked Washer Dryer
Are you tired of bumping into corners or running out of space when it comes to your laundry day routine? Or maybe you’re just looking to condense the laundry space in your home to make things more simple? Whatever your situation may be, a stackable washer and dryer is an ideal solution for individuals with smaller laundry areas or those looking to downsize.
There’s no shortage of benefits for stackable washer and dryer units and today’s innovative solutions help you to save space without losing cleaning quality or power. Along with providing a truly seamless washing and drying process, stacked washer and dryers can benefit homes of all sizes. In fact, upgrading your laundry setup from two separate units to a single washer dryer tower is one of the smartest — and often the most affordable — ways to purchase laundry appliances upfront.
Plus, replacing just one laundry unit can sometimes leave you with worry about when the other one may run its course or require repairs. Instead of purchasing one laundry unit at a time, a stacking washer and dryer combo presents the best of both worlds and will save you a significant amount of space in the process.
What to Consider Before You Buy a Stackable Washer and Dryer
Upgrading or replacing your current laundry setup with a stackable washer and dryer is one of the most cost efficient ways to add these type of appliances to your home. The advantages of having both a washer and dryer together in a single layout is an investment that’s definitely worth looking into. However, there are a few factors to consider before making the big purchase.
Size
One of the first factors to consider when shopping for a stackable washer and dryer is the amount of available space you have dedicated to your laundry appliances. Your first step should be to measure this space and then look for units that will fit comfortably without being too cramped. Also, remember to think about how tall everyone in your home is that will be using the washer and dryer ― a stacked dryer can sometimes be a bit of a challenge for shorter individuals.
Capacity
When choosing the right pair of laundry appliances, you'll want to look for a stacked washer dryer that has enough capacity for your average load sizes. Although they’re more compact in general, the capacity of a standard stackable washer is typically between 4–5.5 cubic feet, and the capacity of a standard-size stackable dryer is typically between 7–8 cubic feet.
Additional Features
Lastly, with several innovative models to choose from on the market, you’ll have to decide if there are any additional features you’d like to see in your stackable washer and dryer. Some of the possible features include smart technology, specialized wash cycles, self-cleaning capabilities, and so much more to help simplify and make laundry day as convenient as possible.
