New Washer and Dryer Sets

Replacing both machines at once? A new washer and dryer set gives you a matched look and a dryer sized to dry a full washer load in one cycle, so laundry never backs up. Choose a top-load pair or a stackable front-load set from leading brands, then buy online or reserve your set at your nearest Econoplus store.

Which Washer and Dryer Set Fits Your Home?

Start With the Space

Full-size sets are 27 inches wide per machine and suit a laundry room or basement. Compact sets are 24 inches wide and fit condo closets and apartments where a full-size pair won't go, and most can stack to save floor space. Measure doorways and stairs too, not just the laundry area.

Match Capacity to Your Household

Full-size washers typically hold about 4 to 6 cubic feet, enough for bedding and family loads, with dryers of about 6 to 8 cubic feet. Compact washers hold about 2 to 3 cubic feet, which works for one or two people who wash more often.

Top-Load or Front-Load

Top-load washers mean no bending over to load and unload, and they usually run shorter cycles. Front-load washers use less water and leave the top free for a shelf, a counter or a stacked dryer.

Dryer Type

A standard electric dryer vents warm, damp air outside. A heat pump dryer recirculates its air instead, so it works where there is no dryer vent, which is common in condos and apartments.

Electric dryers run on a 240-volt outlet. Gas dryers need a gas line and a standard outlet, and they can cost less to run where natural gas is cheap.

Stackable Sets

Most compact and many full-size front-load pairs can be stacked with a stacking kit, which puts the dryer on top and halves the floor space. Top-load washers can't take a dryer on top. Check the product page for the right kit, and measure the ceiling height before you plan a stacked closet.

Laundry Features Worth Paying For

Steam cycles help with wrinkles and set-in stains, and sensor drying stops the dryer once clothes are dry, which saves energy and is easier on fabric. A larger drum fits king-size bedding in one load. Smart models send a notification to your phone when a cycle ends.

Energy and Water Use

Energy Star certified washers and dryers meet efficiency criteria for energy use, and certified washers also use less water per load. High-efficiency washers need HE detergent, which makes fewer suds. If you run several loads a week, a certified pair keeps running costs down over the years you own it.

Washer and Dryer Brands to Compare

LG, Samsung, Whirlpool, GE, Maytag, Frigidaire, Electrolux, Kenmore, Beko and Bosch are the laundry brands most shoppers look at. Settle the width, capacity and dryer type first: two sets with the same specs will handle your laundry in much the same way.

New, Open Box or Refurbished

A new set is factory packaged and has never been installed. To spend less, compare open box washer and dryer sets, which may have cosmetic marks, and refurbished washer and dryer sets: previously used machines that have been professionally restored and tested before going back on sale. The full selection of washer and dryer sets shows all three conditions side by side.
