In urban apartments, space is often at a premium, and a busy schedule leaves little time for household chores. A washer-dryer, which combines washing and drying in a single appliance, is a practical solution. When this appliance can also be controlled via an app, it offers the ultimate in flexibility and efficiency. You can start the wash cycle on the go, receive notifications when the laundry is done, and optimise energy consumption.
As your Joybuy Product Recommendation Officer, I have surveyed the market for smart washer-dryers. This article presents a selection of models and provides you with objective criteria to help you choose the right appliance for your household.
Choosing the right appliance depends on your individual needs. The following points will help you better understand the technical specifications and features.
Drum size is a crucial factor. For single or two-person households, models with a 7 to 8 kg washing capacity are often sufficient. Families or shared apartments will benefit from a washer-dryer with a 10 kg capacity or more to handle large loads or duvets. Note that the drying capacity is typically lower than the washing capacity. A freestanding washer-dryer offers flexibility in placement, as it doesn't need to be integrated into a kitchen unit. Measure the available space carefully before purchasing.
Checking the EU energy label is essential. A washer-dryer with energy efficiency class A consumes significantly less electricity and water, which is reflected in lower running costs over the long term. Models with heat pump technology are particularly economical. A washer-dryer with a heat pump dries laundry at lower temperatures, which not only reduces energy consumption but is also gentle on delicate textiles.
A smart washer-dryer is defined by its connectivity. App control allows you to start programmes remotely, monitor the status, or download special wash cycles. For working professionals and families, a fast washer-dryer with quick programmes or combined wash-and-dry cycles under three hours is particularly valuable. Features like steam treatment for wrinkle reduction or special stain programmes can make daily life even easier. When researching and comparing models, similar to a personal washer-dryer review, you should pay attention to these practical features.
Here is a selection of three models that stand out for their specific features and technological approaches.

App control primarily offers convenience and flexibility. You can start the wash cycle while you're still at work, so the laundry is ready when you get home. Additionally, apps often provide access to extra special programmes, give maintenance alerts, and help monitor energy consumption, for instance, by scheduling starts for cheaper off-peak electricity tariffs.
Electricity consumption varies depending on the model, programme, and load. A key indicator is the EU energy label. An appliance with energy efficiency class A (for the wash cycle) is already very economical. Models with heat pump technology are even more efficient when drying. Consumption is stated in kilowatt-hours per 100 cycles (kWh/100). For example, an appliance like the Gorenje FastWash Pro uses 41 kWh per 100 wash cycles.
Yes, that's perfectly possible. A washer-dryer is essentially a washing machine and a dryer in one unit. You can select wash-only programmes, dry-only programmes, or combined wash-and-dry programmes. This flexibility makes the appliance a practical all-in-one solution.
