You’ve just bought a new home and are ready to start moving in – but before you can do that it’s wise to make sure the new home has all the required appliances. If your old washer and dryer are no longer up to par and don’t wash and dry so well anymore – or if your clothes are starting to come out of the wash looking like they need to go in the hamper, it is time to investigate buying a new set. One of the most affordable ways to replace your washer or dryer is to simply choose a washer and dryer combination set, and it also looks better too.
Not only will this create an attractive aesthetic should you choose to sell your home one day, but it will likely make doing the laundry more efficient since the machines are designed to work together. The following are a few of the best washer/dryer combinations of 2021:
Best Top Loading Set: Samsung WA54R7200AV & DVE54R7200V

If you prefer a top-loading set, this Samsung washer/dryer set is sleek and streamlined and will easily slide into any laundry room in your new home. Those with kids or messy jobs will appreciate the built-in Active WaterJet faucet inside of the washer that allows you to easily pre-treat stains and the soft-closing lid of the washer ensures you never accidentally catch any little fingers on it. The dryer offers a built-in vent sensor so you know if a dangerous blockage occurs and features Sensory Dry to reduce redundant drying and energy loss.
Best Stacking Unit: LG WashTower WKEX200HWA

If the laundry room in your new home or condo is a bit smaller than you would like, this vertically stacking LG set can help you maximize your space. It should be noted however that this set serves as one appliance and cannot be taken apart. The control panel is easy to reach and for being a stackable set the laundry center has an impressive capacity of 4.5 cubic feet and 7.4 cubic feet for the washer and dryer respectively.
One nice feature for the energy conscious is the use of AI sensors to detect load size and fabric cycle to start a cycle. While you can override it and choose from one of many cycle options, this is an easy way to ensure that everyone from your kids to your husband can finally handle their own laundry. Simply load the machine, add some soap and let it set itself.
Best Smart Set: GE GFW850SPNDG & GFD85ESPNDG

For the homeowner that prefers smart appliances, this GE front loading set is a genius choice. While it is a bit of a splurge, the ability to wash and dry a smaller load in the washing machine is a clear plus. This makes it possible to actually leave your home and come home to fresh laundry without physically moving a thing. On the other hand, for full sized-loads, you have the dryer standing by.
Both machines function quality and the dryer features UltraFresh technology which includes built-in air vents and seals and gaskets that have been treated with Microban to cut down on mildew or mold. More impressive might be the smart functions that actually allow the machines to work together. The Washer Link technology senses the washer settings to determine the load needs and set the drying cycle to replicate it. In addition, both machines have built-in WiFi so you can control them from your smartphone, Google Spot, or Amazon Alexa.
Once again, if you just bought your home and moving in soon, a new washer dryer combo may just be the perfect purchase to dress up your new laundry room – it makes doing laundry fun!
