Why Trust Plaza Appliance Mart?
Every house has a unique laundry setup. Some people have rooms dedicated just to laundry while other homeowners tuck washers into closets or hook them up in basements. One option for saving space is with a stackable washer and dryer. This turns your laundry system into a single vertical unit instead of two appliances that sit next to each other. Stacked systems allow homeowners to increase the amount of space in their laundry areas and use the extra room for storage or personal design preferences.
Not all stacked washer and dryer models have the same quality. They come in different styles, storage capacities, and technology levels. There are also a variety of brands that create these appliances. Learn about the benefits of a stacked system and the top options for your home.
Why Choose Stackable Washers and Dryers?
There are many benefits of adding a stackable washer and dryer units to your home. The more people choose this option, the more they realize the benefits of investing in stackable systems. A few benefits of these appliances include:
- Space savings: you cut the required space for your washer and dryer in half. This is ideal for small homes and apartments with minimal square footage.
- Synced systems: modern stacked washer and dryer units communicate to optimize the laundry experience. Your washer can alert your dryer to the current cycle so the appliance can adjust its settings for you.
- Easy buying processes: instead of shopping for a washer that you like and then a dryer that also meets your needs, you can buy both units at once. Search for a brand you trust and know that both your washer and dryer will have the quality performance levels you expect.
- Save money: by buying one appliance instead of two, you can save money in multiple ways. A combined unit can be cheaper than two separate units and you will only need to pay for delivery once.
- Reduced bodily stress: stackable units are easier on your back. You don’t have to bend down to load items into the top machine. The control buttons are also usually placed in the middle so you don’t have to lean over to activate the appliance.
Depending on the unit you buy, stacked washer and dryer systems can also be more energy efficient. Front-loading washers use less water than their top-loading counterparts. You may notice that your energy bills decrease due to your efficient energy use.
Top Stack Washer and Dryer Sets
There’s a common myth that stackable washer and dryer sets can’t hold as much laundry as standard side-by-side units. However, these appliances can be just as efficient and useful for your family. Here are a few top stackable appliances to consider purchasing. They range in size from small-scale washers to large-capacity systems.
Whirlpool® 1.6 Cu. Ft. Washer, 3.4 Cu. Ft. Dryer White Electric Stacked Laundry
There are plenty of base models for homeowners who need a washer and dryer that fit in a tight space. This option by Whirlpool is 74 inches high and 24 inches wide. The 1.6 cu. ft. capacity is ideal for small loads, which is perfect if you live by yourself or frequently need to wash uniforms for work or baby clothes. The dryer has a 3.4 cu. ft. capacity which can easily dry your clothes.
This model uses an impeller washer, which means it doesn’t use a traditional agitator in the middle to clean your clothes. This is why Whirlpool is able to make a top-loading stacked washer and dryer for homeowners who don’t want two front-loading appliances. If you need to run the dryer a bit longer, turn on the Wrinkle Shield™ option. This will start a period of intermittent tumbling after the dryer cycle ends until you are ready to fold your clothes.
You can buy this Whirlpool stacked washer and dryer in white. Customer reviews mention how it fits perfectly in tight spaces. One customer installed this appliance in their RV.

FAQ
How do you stack a washer and dryer?
Not all appliances are stackable. If you need to figure out how to stack a Samsung washer and dryer, make sure both units are designed to be stacked together. If not, stacking is dangerous and the appliances might not work. Instead, consider investing in a unitized washer and dryer that are already stacked together and meant to fit as one.
Are stacked washers and dryers better?
Everyone has their personal preferences when it comes to laundry. However, stacked washers and dryers are known to save space, making them ideal for smaller homes. They are also more energy efficient if they come with a front-load washer, which will use less water.
Can you repair stackable washers and dryers?
Stackable washer and dryer sets are just like any other home appliance. When something breaks, you can repair it. Many stackable laundry sets will last at least 10 years, if not longer if they are well-maintained. If half of the appliance breaks (the washer or the dryer), you can schedule a repair call to get it running again.
