Choosing Between a Stacked Unit and All in One Unit
Space Considerations
Stacked Unit: A stacked washer and dryer unit consists of two separate machines, one for washing and one for drying, stacked vertically. This design is perfect for those with limited floor space but enough vertical clearance, such as in a closet or a small laundry room.
All-in-One Unit: An all-in-one washer-dryer combo integrates both washing and drying functions into a single machine. This is perfect for extremely tight spaces where even a stacked unit might not fit. It’s also a great option for those who prefer a single machine that handles everything.
Performance & Capacity
Stacked Unit: Stacked units typically offer larger capacities for both washing and drying, making them suitable for households with larger laundry loads. They also generally provide faster drying times since they use a separate dryer.
All-in-One Unit: All-in-one units tend to have smaller capacities, so they’re better suited for individuals, couples, or smaller households. Drying times can be longer since the drying function uses the same drum as the washer, often relying on condensation drying rather than traditional vented drying.

Frequently Asked Questions: Stacked Laundry and Washer Dryer Combos
What’s the difference between a stacked washer/dryer unit and an all-in-one (washer-dryer combo) machine?
A stacked washer and dryer are two separate machines placed vertically to save space, while an all-in-one combo washes and dries in a single drum. Both are ideal for small spaces and convenience. However, stacked sets often offer larger capacity and faster drying.
How do I choose between a stacked set and an all-in-one combo?
If you have limited space and prefer simplicity, go with an all-in-one. For bigger loads or faster cycles, a stacked washer and dryer may be better. Consider your space, laundry volume, and venting options when deciding.
How do I maintain a stacked or combo laundry unit?
Keep your unit level, clean the lint filter and door seals regularly, and use the right detergent. For combos, leave the door slightly open after each cycle to prevent moisture buildup and extend the appliance’s lifespan.
Are stacked units and washer dryer combos energy efficient?
Yes. Most modern stacked units and all-in-one washer dryer combos are designed to be energy and water efficient. Look for models with Energy Star ratings or eco-friendly wash and dry cycles, which help reduce electricity usage and water consumption
