What is the difference between a washer dryer combination and a set?

A washer dryer combination is a washing machine and dryer in one, so your washer dryer combination takes up relatively little space. It's useful if you have a small home and there's no room for 2 separate devices. If you have a washer dryer combination, you only need one machine, so it's cheaper and you won't have to transfer your wet laundry from the washing machine to the dryer.

If you buy a washing machine and dryer with the same load capacity, you can dry your wet laundry in one go. That means you don't have to dry part of your laundry separately. Although a set is more expensive to buy, the energy costs are considerably lower than those of a washer dryer combination. In the long term, you'll save money. You'll also have clean and dry clothes faster if you have separate machines.

A washer dryer combination has less drying capacity than washing capacity. That's why you have to dry part of your wet laundry on a clothesline. Don't want that? Then you'll have to put less laundry in the drum. Another disadvantage is that the energy consumption of the washer dryer combination is much higher than that of a separate washing machine and dryer. In addition, washing and drying take longer.

Even though a washing machine and dryer set has more advantages than disadvantages, there is one big disadvantage. A separate washing machine and dryer take up more space. Fortunately, you can easily solve this by using a stacking kit to put the dryer on top of the washing machine. The room you put the set in has to be high enough, of course.
