The exception to this is LG's WashTower, which is equipped with a 4.5-cubic-foot washer and 7.4-cubic-foot dryer. ![]() ![]() Laundry centers almost always have smaller capacities, so you won't be able to wash and dry as many clothes as you would with standalone stacked appliances. By combining the appliances into one single appliance you are able to save even more room, making them a good choice for condominiums, apartments, closets, and small laundry rooms. Standalone Appliances Versus a Laundry Center →What is a laundry center?Ī laundry center combines both the washer and dryer into one single unit with a front-loading dryer located on the top, a top-loading washer below, and a control panel separating the two in the center. If you have the choice between the two, our colleagues at Popular Mechanics recommend gas dryers over electricity-powered dryers since they're less expensive to run, and dry substantially faster - but they are usually about $100 more expensive. Gas dryers require a gas line hookup and a 120-volt outlet, and electric dryers need a 240-volt connection. You’ll need to decide whether the dryer runs on gas or electricity. Also, make sure you have 6 inches of clearance between your dryer and the wall to allow space for the hookups and venting. ![]() Pay attention to which way the appliance doors open, too, since some of them are not reversible. Make sure you measure the location of where the new appliances are going to ensure they'll fit, and if you're planning on installing them in a closet, be mindful of the space required for the appliance doors to open. The most important factor to consider when it comes to buying a stackable washer and dryer pair is its size. ![]()
