Best Washer and Dryer 2024

Best Washer and Dryer 2024 – The washer-dryer blend unit combines the capabilities of both machines within the space of just one. At the end of the wash cycle, it automatically changes to drying mode, removing the need to transfer a wet load. Traditionally, most combo models have had limited capacities and lengthy cycle times.

Regarding laundry appliances, GE and LG are two brands our cleaning experts consistently recommend —they produce many of our top-rated washing machines and clothes dryers. Their latest combo models — the GE Profile UltraFast Combo Washer & Dryer and LG WashCombo All-in-One — integrate high-tech, innovative, energy-saving technologies.

After rigorously testing both in the Good Housekeeping Institute Home Care & Cleaning Lab — evaluating advanced features, washing and drying performance, design, and ease of use — we recommend both. Here, we’ve broken down each model’s strengths and weaknesses.

TurboWash 360° cleans more oversized loads fast, so you get more done while enjoying the same excellent washing performance. And forget about endless sorting- AI technology uses built-in sensors to sense fabric texture and load size and automatically selects the correct settings for progressive fabric care.

Start Smart Pairing in the ThinQ app, and the washer can even state the dryer to choose a compatible drying cycle, making it the final laundry hack.
