Stacked Washer Dryers: Small Footprint, Powerful Cleaning
Stacked washer dryer units are designed to bring as much high-powered cleaning to your home as possible, even for spaces with small square footage. That could mean an upstairs closet, around the corner in the basement or a tight mudroom. Wherever you need to get laundry taken care of, there's a stacked washer dryer that's designed for your space. Keep in mind that these aren't the same as stackable models: those can come apart and stack together with the help of a kit. These ones are designed to stand vertically like this from the moment they're finished. And with trusted brands like GE, Whirlpool and Speed Queen crafting these units, you'll know that the one you choose is made to last.
Save Space & Gain Space
Some folks might see a stacked washer dryer and assume there is little space inside. These days, more and more brands are finding creative ways to add more space to both compartments. That makes these better choices for families than they ever were before. Even large families that find themselves overwhelmed with the week's laundry can think creatively: opt for two machines. Place one upstairs and one downstairs in multilevel homes or side-by-side in a larger laundry room. That vertical space that was completely unused is suddenly being put to work.
If you know you need one of these but still feel like you don't have the space, consult our handy Learn Center article on how to hide a washer and dryer in your home. Wherever you find room for yours, these high-powered laundry appliances are made to clean. While some may come with basic features, you'll find more and more made to tackle larger loads in smarter ways. Look for features like speed washing, easily-reachable compartments and even smartphone connectivity. These features make your life easier on every level: laundry day will be done faster with features like these. Your smartphone will alert you the moment that it's time to move wet clothing and linens from one compartment to another, while larger compartments mean more gets done at once. Just a couple of loads and the family's laundry is clean, ready to be folded and finished.
Gas or Electric Stacked Washer Dryer Units
There are two different fuel sources for stacked washer dryer models: electricity and natural gas. There are benefits to having either in your home (for more on that, take a quick read through our article on gas vs electric dryer: which one should you choose?). That being said, many folks opt for what their homes are already outfitted for, like a gas line or the correct electrical outlet. You'll be able to find the right model for your home in either fuel source here from Abt.
