Look for the ENERGY STAR logo when you are looking for a washing dryer that is energy efficient. ENERGY STAR certified products consume 25% less energy and 33 percent less water than conventional models, which means you'll be able to reduce your energy costs while still washing your clothes.

The ENERGY STAR label has been in use since 1992, and is one of the most well-known consumer symbols in the nation. It is on tens and thousands of consumer electronics and appliances, as well as in millions of new constructions, homes, and businesses. ENERGY STAR saves Americans 5 trillion kilowatt hours of electricity every year and helps them avoid billions of dollars in energy bills.

To obtain the ENERGY STAR Label, companies submit their product for independent certified based on rigorous efficiency standards. The process guarantees that each product meets EPA specifications and provides the energy savings that you'd expect. This process eliminates the chance that a company could falsely claim that their energy efficiency rating is higher by changing their specifications or employing an entirely new test method.

Many ENERGY STAR certified washers come with features that help them be more efficient. For instance the smaller drum can allow for less washing cycles and a lower water consumption. They may also be quieter and more durable than their non-ENERGY Star counterparts. They are a good option for homeowners looking to cut their utility costs without sacrificing functionality or performance.

Certain ENERGY STAR certified washers come with Wi-Fi connectivity. This lets users monitor their utility usage from a mobile phone or smart home applications. These apps can be used to set cycles preferences, getting diagnostic information, or monitoring the consumption of energy. washersanddryers.co.uk is accessible from a smartphone or other device, which is especially useful for those suffering from disabilities like blindness or low-vision.

Tax credits are available on most appliances that are ENERGY STAR-certified until 2032. So, if you're looking to make an investment in an efficient dryer or washer, be sure to check for the blue ENERGY STAR label.

EASY to install

The washer dryers that are integrated are heavy and large, just like other major appliances. If you plan to install one yourself, make sure it will fit into your kitchen space, taking measurements of the hallways and tight corners you'll need to go through to get it into position. You'll also want to check that the power cord is able to connect to the electricity supply in your home and that the water supply lines and drain pipes are accessible. Floor guides made of plastic sold in many online shops (or sometimes with the machine) can help prevent scratching your floors while you maneuver the machine. Look for an integrated model with features such as sensors inside that alert you to the presence of duct clogs or lint.

Some models allow you to connect to Wi-Fi networks to enable cycle preference, diagnostics and integration with voice-controlled devices and other smart appliances.

Wi-Fi-enabled integrated dryers allow you to access diagnostics, cycle preferences and details about the energy consumption of your appliance through a mobile app. These smart, connected appliances are often connected to voice-controlled assistants, or other smart-home devices.
