What is the difference between a washer-dryer combo and a set?

A washer dryer combo is a washing machine and dryer in one, so your washer dryer combo takes up relatively little space. Useful if you have a small home and there's no room for 2 devices. If you have a washer dryer combo, you only need one device, 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 at once. That means you don't have to dry part of your laundry separately. Although a set is more expensive, the energy costs are considerably lower than those of a washer dryer combo. In the long term, you'll save money. You'll also have clean clothes faster if you have separate devices.

A washer dryer combo 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? You're forced to put less laundry in the drum. Another disadvantage is that the energy consumption of the washer dryer combo is much higher than the energy consumption of a separate washer and dryer. In addition, cycles 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.
