Frigidaire Gallery Series 27-Inch Stacked Washer/Dryer

First to recommend

Description

A dependable option for a vertically stacked washer/dryer combo, this Frigidaire features 16 wash cycles and four auto-dry cycles. At 29-3/4" by 27" by 75-1/2", it's not the most compact design around, but the mix of energy-efficiency and extra large capacity is a nice plus.

GE Unitized Spacemaker Washer/Gas Dryer

First to recommend

Description

A sturdy and dependable washer/dryer combo from a brand you can trust, this GE Spacemaker doesn't offer too many bells and whistles. What it does offer is an extra large capacity, which will give you the feel of a full-sized washer and dryer in a more compact 30.75" x 75.5" x 27"vertical arrangement.

Haier Ventless Washer/Dryer

First to recommend

Description

A fairly thrifty option for a washer/dryer combo, this model from Haier (an official partner of the NBA, for what it's worth) comes in at well under $1000. Features are basic and compact, and the machine offers seven wash cycles for 11 lbs worth of laundry in a 1.5 cu. ft. stainless steel drum. The size is the real draw: 23.7/8'' x 21.9/16'' x 33.3/4''.

Whirlpool Thin Twin 24" Washer/Gas Dryer

First to recommend

Description

Whirpool's Thin Twin washer/dryer combo is a really nice option for someone who needs to fit a full sized set of appliances into a narrow space. The 24" width is the primary draw here, matched with a more standard 27.25" depth and a height of 71.75".

Thor Washer/Dryer Combination

First to recommend

Description

A classic washer/dryer combo, this Thor model offers the convenience of a dual-functionality with a twist of retro aesthetics. The machine's 14-gallon capacity is reasonable for such a compact unit, and it's well worth worth the 23 3/8" x 22" x 33 1/4" form factor.

EdgeStar Washer Dryer Combo

First to recommend

Description

An efficiency-minded washer/dryer combo, the EdgeStar CW1200 will take on a mere 12.1 lbs of laundry per load, but boasts the ability to dry clothing as much as 20% quicker than its competitors. The 10.3-gallon water usage is also pretty decent and the 33 1/2”(h) x 23 5/8” x 21 2/3” dimensions of the machine are workable in many apartments.
