Whether you live in an apartment or a small house, you may need to take advantage of all-in-one washer/dryers. Melhores itens da casa save space by eliminating the need for a separate laundry room or a large closet, and they also reduce your utility bills by using less water and electricity than two standalone units. Plus, many combo models have smart features and settings that can improve your efficiency—and your laundry day.

Expert Picks: Best Washer and Dryer Combos This Year

The LG WM5500HWA washer and LG DLEX5500W dryer we reviewed have a compact, stackable design that should fit into most laundry spaces. They also have a high combined energy efficiency rating and come with an intelligent stacking kit that lets you control both appliances through a central control panel (rather than reaching up to the higher dryer controls). This washer has 13 unique cycles for tackling everything from sportswear to bedding, and it scores highly on our ratings for washing performance, energy efficiency, and water efficiency. It’s also Wi-Fi capable and has a steam cycle for dewrinkling delicates.

While these two machines offer a lot of performance, they have one key limitation: You can’t run multiple loads at once. That’s a big drawback if you want to multitask and get more laundry done in a single day, or if you have bulkier items that you can’t hang to dry. If that’s the case, we recommend choosing a washer and dryer pair with a larger capacity drum.
