Factors to Consider When Buying an Integrated Washer Dryer
Washer dryer combos are a great choice for smaller homes or for people who have mobility issues that make the process of moving laundry between appliances difficult. They're also cheaper than front-load washers and dryer sets with similar capacities and performance.
However, they tend to have lower reliability and can cost more to run than standalone machines. However, they're worthwhile if they're your only option.

If you live in an open-plan living space or simply prefer not to see your laundry appliances, all-in one washer dryers can be a lifesaver. They're usually smaller than freestanding units and can be integrated into kitchen cabinets to provide seamless, hidden integration. A combination all-in-one also has some drawbacks. These include less capacity and a shorter cycle times. Consider the following factors to get the best value for your buck when you purchase an all-in one washer dryer.

In the same way, it's usually best to wait until after the holidays when retailers discount any leftover inventory. Price comparison tools on the internet are also a great way to keep track of price and discover any deals that might be available.
Capacity
An integrated washer dryer combines a washing machine and dryer into one unit that can be placed under the kitchen counter or placed in a stack with other laundry appliances. These are good options for those with little space, don't want to install separate machines in two rooms or prefer the appearance and feel of a concealed laundry room. These models are typically more expensive than freestanding washer dryers and washing machines. However, they can save time and energy by combing the drying and washing processes into one step.
Integrated washer-dryers vary in capacity and drum size, so it is important to think about your laundry requirements prior to purchasing. If you have a large family, you might need more capacity than the average combo machine. If you frequently wash bulky or heavy items, you'll require dryers with a huge capacity.

These appliances can use up to 33 percent less water and 25 percent less electricity than standard machines.

Jackie Reeve, senior staff writer at Wirecutter, has been using an LG DLEX4000 dryer as well as a the WM4000H washing machine for more than four years. She makes use of them to wash the towels, bedding and other household linens of her family. She is awed by the washer's capacity to handle huge loads and its quiet operation during the normal wash cycle and hygiene cycle, and the dryer's sensor-dry settings. The only thing she doesn't like is the slow drying speed of the dryer, however she believes it's worth the water and electricity savings.
When purchasing a new dryer and washer, be sure that you have the proper hookups. Make sure whether the dryer and washer fit in your laundry space and will have enough space for venting, hoses and connections. Think about the type of connection you want. Electric dryers require a three prong plug while gas dryers may require specialized venting and professional installation.
