What are the benefits of buying a stackable washer dryer over the traditional design? The answer to that question isn’t so clear cut. Most people who buy this type of washer dryer have limited closet space, but that isn’t the only reason.
A stackable washer dryer is also preferable if you appreciate a smaller laundry profile or need more floor space. The units also have the advantage of having relatively lower vibration and noise levels than other alternatives. Regardless, here are the best stackable washer dryers we’ve picked out for 2023.
1. Samsung WF45R6100AW
A 1,200rpm motor and 4.5-cubic-feet of cleaning space make Samsung WF45R6100AW a standard stackable washer dryer. It isn’t too pricy or too large, which is why it’s the best option for those on a tight budget. However, the unit is exceedingly energy-efficient as demonstrated in its CEE Tier-2 Energy-Star rating.
Features
- 32” depth
- Ten wash cycles
- White plastic body
- Stainless-steel tub
- Steam cycle available
- Five temperature options
- LED control panel with a central knob
Pros
- Easy to operate
- High efficiency
- Reasonable price-tag
- Impressive wash detail
- Works quickly and silently
Cons
- Relatively low power
2. GE GEWADRGW5503
The feature we like the most about this stackable washer dryer unit is its built-in Wi-Fi. Not only does it let you remotely use and monitor your machine, but it also informs you of any issues. There are quick wash cycles to help you clean in a hurry alongside a 99.9% effective sanitize-cycle.

3. LG WM3400CW
It’s also a budget option with a 4.5-cubic-feet interior and Energy-Star efficiency. However, LG WM3400CW’s motor can reach a maximum rotation of 1,300rpm, a rare one for this price. Its 31” depth is also uncommon for stackable washer dryers, but we think it adds to the charm.
Features
- Dryer space is 7.4-cubic-feet

- Eight wash cycles

4. Bosch WAT28400UC
The machine cuts down on washer and dryer space in exchange for more components and additional features. Besides an uber-powerful 1,400rpm motor, you also get a 145⁰F max temperature and 15 wash cycles with this beast. However, it’s quite an expensive purchase.
Features
