Both have their advantages and disadvantages. It is important to thoroughly research your options before making the decision.

Convenience

One of the major advantages of a combination washer and dryer is that it helps to save space. Combination units mix separate laundry appliances to create a single unit. This takes up less space horizontally than a side-by-side set, and less vertical space than stacking a pair. This is why they are ideal for smaller living spaces such as apartments and mobile homes, recreational vehicles and condos. They are also a good fit for small households with little storage space.

These machines are also ENERGY (r) and STAR (r) certified, which enables them to reduce energy consumption and reduce your energy costs over the course of time.

The main drawback of combo units is that they typically not perform well when drying. The clothes are rarely completely dry after the completion of a complete wash and dry cycle. They might need to be returned to the drum to dry for longer. In addition, they consume lots of water, particularly when drying. If you're on tank water or are concerned about environmental issues the excessive use of water may make a combo appliance not the best choice for your needs.

A combo unit is more complicated than its standalone counterparts. This increases the likelihood of a mistake occurring during operation. This can lead to a repair bill, or even replacement of both appliances. This isn't a problem if you only use the washer or dryer, but it becomes an issue if you use both and something goes wrong with either one of them simultaneously. As a result, some experts advise against purchasing combination appliances for larger households, especially when you live in a multifamily dwelling. This type of unit is perfect for smaller households with limited space, who require a washer and dryer.

This less invasive and more efficient method of washing decreases the amount heat generated during the process.

A majority of these units come with a delicates settings, which reduces the amount of stress placed on the fabric while it is drying. This will keep the fabrics in a better condition during the drying process and will also reduce the amount of shrinkage that happens.

Another way to cut down on energy use is by purchasing one with an integrated dryer vent. This will save you the necessity of a venting set that can cost between $100 and $200. Typically, these kits are also more expensive than non-venting alternatives.

If you have an enormous family or have huge laundry needs, you might need to think about an alternative solution. These machines are able to wash and dry one load at a go, so you cannot start another load of laundry while your clothes are drying. Many all-in-one models come with the capacity of a load that isn't enough for large loads of laundry.

In addition, a malfunction on one machine can disrupt both drying and washing processes until you are able to fix it. This can be a problem for busy families. In light of all these reasons it is important to evaluate the pros and cons of a combination washer/dryer before purchasing.
