How to Choose the Right Washer and Dryer for Your Home

Shopping for a new washer and dryer can be overwhelming with all the models, features, and price points available today. Whether you’re a family of five or live alone in an apartment, choosing the right set is key to long-term satisfaction and performance. Here’s a practical guide to help you make the best decision.

1. Know the Types

There are two main washer types:

Top Loaders: Generally more affordable and faster.

Front Loaders: More energy-efficient and better for large loads.

Dryers come in:

Electric: Requires a 240V outlet.

Gas: Requires a gas hookup—cheaper to operate but more costly to install.

2. Consider Capacity

Think about how much laundry you do each week.

A small 2.0–3.2 cu. ft. washer is perfect for singles or couples.

A large 4.5–5.0 cu. ft. model suits families or heavy users.

3. Check for Energy Efficiency

Look for the ENERGY STAR label, which means the appliance meets energy-saving guidelines.

High-efficiency machines use less water and power.

Long-term savings can add up significantly.

4. Think About Features You’ll Actually Use

It’s easy to get sold on touchscreen displays and smart features—but will you use them?

Look for essential settings: delicate, quick wash, heavy-duty, timed dry.

Extra rinse cycles and allergen settings can be helpful if you have sensitive skin or pets.

5. Measure Your Space

Always check your space before purchasing.

Measure doorways, hallways, and the laundry area.

Don’t forget room for hoses and venting.

The right washer and dryer combo can save you time, money, and frustration. When in doubt, consult a technician who can assess your needs and recommend the best models for your lifestyle.
