Washer dryer combos offer varying capacities with washing capacity always exceeding drying capacity. Models start from 7kg wash/4kg dry, extending to 10kg wash/6kg dry for larger households.
Capacity selection depends on household size - 7.5kg to 8.5kg washing capacity suits 3-4 people, whilst 9kg and above accommodates 5+ residents. The reduced drying capacity occurs because effective moisture removal requires air movement through tumbling action.
Stacked configurations like the LG WashTower feature separate 17kg washer and 10kg dryer within one seamless unit. These models provide full capacity for both functions without compromise.
7kg wash/4kg dry: Singles or couples
8kg wash/5kg dry: Small families (2-3 people)
9kg wash/5.5kg dry: Medium families (3-4 people)
10kg wash/6kg dry: Large families (5+ people)
Washer dryer combos function as front load washing machines with integrated drying capabilities using condenser or heat pump technology. Most models employ condenser drying, collecting moisture and condensing it into water without external venting.
Continuous wash-to-dry cycles operate seamlessly, though users must respect capacity differences. Both washing and drying capacities measure dry garments, requiring load adjustment for optimal results.
Condenser models require well-ventilated rooms despite not needing external venting. Heat pump variants offer superior energy efficiency at higher price points.
Independent wash or dry programmes provide flexibility. Maximum spin speeds reduce moisture before drying, shortening cycle times.
Energy consumption varies between condenser and heat pump models, with heat pump technology offering 50% energy savings during drying. Understanding energy efficient washing machines helps identify cost-effective options.
Water usage combines washing and drying requirements - more than standalone washers but less than running separate appliances. Star ratings indicate overall efficiency across both functions.
Operating costs depend on usage patterns - occasional dryer use suits condenser models, whilst frequent drying justifies heat pump investment. Regular filter cleaning maintains optimal performance.
Washer dryer combos integrate washing and drying into single appliances. These units operate like front loaders with additional drying capabilities, perfect when space doesn't allow separate appliances.
Single-drum designs handle both functions sequentially. Users select continuous wash-dry cycles or operate functions independently.
First consider the wash capacity: as a general rule, 7.5 to 8.5kg should be enough for 3-4 people or choose 9kg and higher for households of 5 plus people. Just remember, you can’t Wash and Dry the same load equally in a Combination Washer Dryer, as the Dry capacity is always less due to needing air movement through the tumbling action.
As far as the Dryer goes, this is usually a Condenser Dryer which takes the moisture collected during Drying and condenses into water to avoid needing to vent the washer dryer outside, but make sure it’s in a well ventilated room. Some newer models utilise Heat Pump technology for lower energy consumption and better Drying performance.
Some popular Dryer Washer Combos also include Automatic Dosing of detergent, built-in Wi-Fi to download additional cycles or to troubleshoot, Express, Steam Wash and Dry, Allergy reduction programs and more. Top brands in the category that can include some or all of these features include Haier, LG and Miele.
Modern units incorporate automatic dosing, dispensing precise detergent amounts based on load size. Built-in Wi-Fi enables remote monitoring, cycle downloads, and troubleshooting.
Steam programmes reduce wrinkles and refresh garments without full washing. Allergy reduction settings use higher temperatures and extended rinses.
Smart sensors detect moisture levels, adjusting drying times automatically. Some models feature dual compartments for simultaneous delicate washing whilst the main drum handles regular loads.

Similar to a Front Load Washer, you’d operate a Washer Dryer Combo by filling the detergent drawer with Laundry Liquid or Powder Detergent suitable for a Front Loader, selecting a program and then options for perfecting the wash and/or dry.
All Washer Dryers have lots of continuous cycles that go from Wash to Dry, with the option to Wash or Dry only for any of these. When using Wash and Dry or Dry Only cycles, stick to the recommended load size to ensure a thorough result.
Other options include Dryness levels, Prewash for improved stain removal, low or high temperatures and spin speeds - we recommend the maximum speed to shorten Drying time. Be sure to check out the user manual for handy tips like running a regular cleaning cycle to keep it in tip top shape.
Depending on how many loads you Wash and Dry in a week, the capacity roughly needed for both and how accommodating your current space is, Washer Dryers can be a good option for households with tight laundry spaces or when a Dryer is only sometimes required.
In a Combo you get all the benefits of a Front Loader, however their Drying performance, energy consumption and Drying time may not be as effective and efficient as a standalone Dryer. When relying regularly on a Washing Machine and Dryer equally, this is a no brainer as you may really need individual appliances to get the job done.
Washer Dryers can be handy for some considering you can wash or dry clothes in separate cycles or go from wet to dry in the one cycle depending on weekly Laundry needs. Some even have a separate wash compartment below the main washer dryer to run a small, delicate load simultaneously for maximum flexibility.
Noise levels vary with premium brands incorporating vibration reduction technology. Spin cycles generate 70-78 decibels at maximum speed.
Drying produces consistent fan noise around 60-65 decibels. Proper maintenance prevents excessive vibration and noise.
Anti-vibration systems stabilise drums during high-speed spins. Direct drive motors eliminate belt noise.
Value depends on usage patterns and budget. Entry-level Haier models provide essential functions affordably.
Mid-range LG options balance features with price. Premium Miele units offer exceptional build quality.
Compare combined costs against separate washers and dryers. Consider energy efficient dryers for long-term savings.
