The 6 Best Stackable Washer/Dryer Sets

When we moved into our house, the laundry “room” was really just a glorified closet. There was no way to fit a washer and dryer side-by-side and still have room to, you know, stand. Stacking them was the only option, and I was worried we’d have to settle for a tiny, underpowered set.

But that’s not the case anymore. The best washer and dryer sets today come in stackable versions that are just as powerful and feature-packed as their full-sized counterparts. After years of testing and talking with neighbors about their own laundry setups, I’ve found the ones that really stand out.

Whether you need something super fast for a big family, a machine that can tackle serious stains, or one that’s quiet enough for an upstairs closet, there’s a stackable laundry set for you. Let’s look at the ones that have impressed me the most in 2026.

 

 

Our Top Stackable Washer & Dryer Sets for 2026

LG Ultra Large Capacity Washer & Electric Dryer

This LG set costs around $2000. If you have a big family and feel like you’re constantly buried in laundry, this is your answer. It’s built for speed and can handle huge loads, like a king-sized comforter and all the bedding, without a problem.

I’ve seen this thing in action, and the quick cycle is no joke—it can get a load done in about 16 minutes, which is amazing when you’re in a hurry. The dryer is just as impressive, with a big capacity and an AI feature that figures out the right settings so you don’t shrink your favorite sweater.

The Downside: It’s a little annoying that you have to buy the dryer and the stacking kit separately. It feels like something that should just be included.

 

 

Electrolux SmartBoost Stackable Washer & Dryer

The Electrolux set is priced at about $1900. This is the one I recommend for people who are serious about getting out tough stains. I’m talking grass stains on soccer uniforms, grease from the garage, you name it.

Its secret is the SmartBoost feature, which premixes the detergent with water before the cycle even starts. This gets the soap working harder, and it consistently scores top marks for stain removal. The dryer is gentle, too, so your clothes come out dry but not fried.

The Downside: Getting that deep clean takes time. Some of the more powerful wash cycles can run for up to two hours, so it’s not the fastest machine on the list.

 

 

GE UltraFresh Vent System Washer & Electric Dryer

You can get this GE laundry set for around $2350. If your laundry closet is in a damp basement or a poorly ventilated space, you know that funky, musty smell front-loaders can get. This machine is designed specifically to prevent that.

It has a special vent system and uses Microban surfaces to keep mold and bacteria from growing in the first place. My friend has this set in her humid garage, and she swears it always smells fresh. The smart features are great, too; the washer tells the dryer what kind of load is coming, which is pretty cool.

The Downside: This washer can be a bit loud during the spin cycle. It’s probably not the best choice if your laundry area is right next to a bedroom or the living room.

 

 

LG WashTower

The LG WashTower costs about $2600. This isn’t just a stackable set; it’s a single, fused unit, which makes it perfect for really tight spaces. The best part is the control panel is right in the middle, so you don’t need a step stool to reach the dryer buttons.

Even though it’s compact, it doesn’t skimp on performance. It’s a powerhouse at removing stains and gets laundry done fast. I’ve had mine for a couple of years, and it’s never had that mildewy smell some front-loaders get. The AI figures out the best wash and dry settings, so I don’t have to guess.

The Downside: Because it’s one single unit, you can’t replace just the washer or just the dryer if one of them breaks down the road. You’d have to replace the whole thing.

 

 

Samsung Stackable Front-Load Washer & Dryer

At around $1500, this Samsung stackable set is a fantastic value. It’s a great choice if you’re looking for solid performance without having to spend a ton of money. You still get really good capacity and modern features.

It has a self-cleaning cycle to keep the washer drum fresh and a sensor in the dryer to prevent over-drying, which saves energy. It’s also designed to be quieter than a lot of other models, which is a nice bonus at this price point.

The Downside: While it has vibration reduction technology, it can still shake a bit, especially with a heavy or unbalanced load like towels or jeans.

 

 

GE GFW550SSNWW Washer and GFD55ESSNWW Dryer

This GE set runs about $1800. If your laundry setup is upstairs or near your main living space, this is the one to look at. Its main selling point is how incredibly quiet it is.

GE’s balancing system really works to cut down on the vibration and noise when it’s spinning. My neighbor put this in a closet in their hallway, and they can run it at night without waking up their kids. It also has Wi-Fi, so you can check on your laundry from your phone, which I find surprisingly useful.

The Downside: I’ve seen a few reports about the door gasket leaking over time. It’s not a widespread issue, but it’s something to keep an eye on.

 

 

What to Look for in a Stackable Set

First and foremost, measure your space. Then measure it again. You need to account for the height, width, and depth, but also leave a few inches behind the units for hoses and venting. Don’t forget to measure the doorways and hallways you’ll need to get through to bring them in!

Think about your actual laundry habits. Do you do a bunch of small loads or a few giant ones? That will help you decide on capacity. If you live in a humid climate, something with an anti-mold system like the GE UltraFresh is a huge plus. If you’re shorter, the LG WashTower with its center controls is a game-changer.

Finally, decide if you want two separate units with a stacking kit or an all-in-one tower. Separate units give you more flexibility if one machine breaks, but the single-unit towers often fit better in tight closets and have those easy-to-reach controls. Either way, you’re getting a much better machine than the stackable sets of a decade ago.
