When the time comes to replace your washer and dryer, you can invest in standard units that are placed next to each other or consider a stackable system.

What is a Stackable Washer and Dryer?
A stackable washer and dryer are two appliances that are designed to be stacked into one. They can be placed next to each other or they can be combined into one unit. This makes them different from laundry towers, where you buy a single appliance that is connected. With stackable models, you still purchase two items.
Not all washers and dryers can be stacked. Most top-load washing machines aren’t meant to be placed above or below a dryer. If you are interested in buying a stackable laundry set, make sure you buy two compatible units.

5 Benefits of Using a Stackable Washer and Dryer
There are several benefits of using a stackable washer and dryer. Here are a few reasons why customers choose these models:
✅ Save space: You can free up the area where your dryer used to be for storage or other utility purposes.
✅ Protect your back: You will bend down less if one of your units is higher up.
✅ Enjoy easy navigation: Tall people often enjoy stackable units because the appliances are designed to accommodate their height.
✅ Take advantage of energy efficiency: Most stackable laundry units have front-load washers, which use less water.
✅ Buy your appliances at once: Instead of waiting for each laundry unit to break, upgrade both your washer and dryer at the same time.
Many people love how their stackable units look. They appreciate the extra space they free up, allowing homeowners to redesign their laundry rooms.
Drawbacks of Stackable Washers and Dryers
Despite the vast benefits, there are some drawbacks to buying stackable units. These models aren’t ideal if you have a shorter household. You may find it difficult to reach into the top dryer once both appliances are stacked. You will also have to buy your units from the same brand. Two different brands might not be compatible with stacking, creating an unsafe laundry environment.

Before You Buy a Stackable Washer and Dryer
Investing in stackable laundry units requires careful consideration, just like any other appliance purchase. Here are a few things to evaluate before you buy these models.
- Size: Measure your space to make sure you can accommodate standard stackable washer and dryer dimensions. Most units are 29 inches wide and can reach 82 inches high.
- Capacity: Decide how big you want your laundry units to be. The larger your family, the more capacity you will need.
- Budget: Know how much you are willing to spend on your laundry appliances. You can buy a cheap stackable washer and dryer set or a luxurious one, depending on what your budget allows.
- Features: Select a few key features that are important to you. These can range from certain cycles to Wi-Fi connectivity.
- Brand: Identify the top laundry brands that you know and trust. Some customers are loyal to GE while others want to bring home a Whirlpool stackable washer and dryer.
Reviewing each of these criteria can help you narrow your options. Instead of evaluating hundreds of stackable units, you can look for a select few that meet your needs.

FAQ
How to measure a washer and dryer stackable combo?
Consider all three units of measurement when searching for the right size stackable combo. You need laundry units that align with the width, depth, and height of your space. Know your maximum height, maximum width, and ideal depth so they don’t stick out. Also, consider which side you want the door to open so you don’t block your walkway.
How tall is a stackable washer and dryer?
Stackable units are usually between 74 to 83 inches high. If you have a lower ceiling, look for shorter units. If you have a higher ceiling, you can likely buy taller models. Always leave a few inches between your appliances and the ceiling for ventilation. You will also want to make sure you can easily reach into the top compartment.
Are stackable washers and dryers good?
Stackable washers and dryers are just as good as any other laundry pair. Stacking these appliances is optional, so you can decide whether you want to place them next to each other or install one on top. Once you know you want stackable units, consider the best brand for your needs. This will give you the best possible pair.
How wide is a stackable washer and dryer?
Most stackable washers and dryers are between 24 to 29 inches wide. A standard width is 30 inches, with most models falling slightly under this goal. Twenty-nine inches leaves space for you to slide your appliance into position while leaving a little air for ventilation.
