Energy STAR(r)

If you're looking for integrated washer dryers a washer dryer integrated with energy savings look for the ENERGY STAR label. ENERGY STAR certified products consume 25% less energy and 33 percent less water than standard models, so you can reduce your energy costs while still washing your clothes.

The ENERGY STAR label has been around since 1992, and is one of the most well-known consumer brands in the United States. It's found on tens of thousands of electronic and consumer devices, as well as millions of homes, businesses and new constructions. Each year, ENERGY STAR helps Americans save 5 trillion kilowatt hours of electricity, and also save billions of dollars in energy costs and greenhouse gas emissions.

To obtain the ENERGY STAR Label, manufacturers submit their products to be independently certified in accordance with stringent efficiency standards. The process guarantees that each product meets the requirements of EPA and provides the energy savings you've been hoping for. It also eliminates the potential for manufacturers to falsely claim the higher efficiency of their product by altering their specifications during testing or using another testing method.

Many washers that are certified by ENERGY START have features that increase their efficiency, such as a smaller drum size which allows for fewer cycles and lower water consumption. These machines are also more efficient and quiet than non ENERGY STAR equivalents. These machines are an excellent option for homeowners looking to lower their energy bills without sacrificing performance or functionality.

Certain ENERGY Star-certified washers also come with Wi-Fi connectivity that allows users to track their utility usage using an mobile device or via a smart home app. These apps can be used to set cycles preferences, getting diagnostic information, or monitoring the consumption of energy. The possibility of accessing this information from a phone or other device may be especially beneficial for those who have disabilities, such as blindness and low vision.

ENERGY STAR-certified dryers and washers can be costly upfront however, they usually pay for themselves over a few years with significant energy savings. Tax credits are available for the majority of ENERGY STAR certified appliances until 2032. If you are planning to purchase dryer and washer that are energy efficient, be sure you look for blue ENERGY STAR labels.

EASY to install

As with most major appliances washer dryers are heavy and heavy. If you're planning to install one yourself, be sure it is a good fit in your kitchen space by measuring the halls and tight corners you'll have to pass through to put it in the right place. Make sure the power cord is easily accessible and that the water drain lines and supply pipes are easily accessible. Floor guides made of plastic can be found in many online stores (or sometimes included in the machine). They can help you avoid scratching your floors when you move the machine into position. Choose a model with features such as sensors inside that alert you to lint or duct clogs.

Certain models let you connect to Wi-Fi networks to allow for diagnostics, cycle preferences and integration with voice-controlled devices and other smart appliances. We tested LG ThinQ appliances which included two models with smart dryer features. They can automatically switch loads between dryer and washer and can also reorder laundry equipment.

Energy Efficiency

In many cases, a combined washer dryer will save space in the home by eliminating the need for a separate tumble dryer and washing machine. This is a huge benefit for flats and smaller homes where it's impossible to accommodate an appliance that is separate. These models are also ideal for those who want to reduce their energy costs. They tend to be more energy efficient than their standalone counterparts.

Our top picks come with sensors that adjust the water level for each wash and dryers that conserve energy by reducing the length of time the clothes tumble (or by preventing drying too long). They can also be set to reduce the amount of detergent for each cycle, and can help reduce wrinkles if the machine is left to tumble for up to 150 minutes following the end of the cycle.

Wi-Fi-enabled integrated washer dryers allow you to access cycles, diagnostics, and information about your appliance's energy use via a mobile application. These smart, connected appliances often work with voice-controlled assistants as well as other smart-home devices.

FEATURES

The main advantage of a washer-dryer integrated is that you can reduce space by not having to buy an additional tumble dryer and washing machine. But many of the same features that are available on freestanding washers and dryers are available in these models such as voice control when paired with Amazon Alexa or Google Assistant the automatic detergent dispenser that gives just the right amount per load and a laundry app that allows you to control and start your cycle remotely, and a dryer integrated washer that selects the appropriate wash cycle after every cycle has ended.

Other smart features that could simplify your laundry routine include a stain guide that recommends the most effective wash cycles for different types stains, and a wrinkle-prevention option that keeps the dryer spinning for up to 150 mins after a cycle has finished to minimize wrinkles. Many of these smart washer dryers offer Wi-Fi compatibility, which allows them to connect to an app on smartphones that offers diagnostics cycles, cycle preferences and energy usage data and integration with other devices controlled by voice and other home smart-home technology.

It's not surprising, considering the limited space integrated washer dryers occupy. They don't typically offer as many features as an average washing machine. However, there are some that stand out as being particularly useful. You should look for models that include steam cleaning, a minimum 6kg drying capacity, and smart features like remote operation or the capability to download additional wash programs.
