Washer dryer combos

Laundry days feel so much better when your gear is doing the heavy lifting. If you don’t want laundry to take over your whole day, washer-dryer combos give you an all-in-one setup that keeps the routine simple.

That practical thinking is a big part of JB. We’ve helped Aussies find the tech they need since 1974, and we know the best gear earns its place at home. As Australia’s biggest retailer of tech and entertainment, we make it easy to find laundry appliances that fit your space and your budget.

A washer-dryer combo keeps the whole laundry run in one drum. Your wash cycle goes first, just like the washing part of a front-load washing machine, then the dry starts straight after without you moving the load.

That same stainless steel drum handles the wash, spin and dry action, which is why the spec sheet shows two numbers. The wash size is the bigger one, while the drying capacity is smaller because clothes need extra room to tumble as they dry.

Most washer-dryer combos at JB use condenser dryer tech, which collects moisture from the load without needing an outside vent. That’s a clever win compared with vented dryers, especially if your laundry setup keeps things indoors. Some models use heat pump dryer tech, which recycles warm air in a closed loop to cut energy use and treat fabrics with extra care.

A front-load washer-dryer combo is made for homes where space and convenience matter more than anything. You get the feel of a front-load washer with drying built into the same unit, which makes a lot of sense if you want one freestanding appliance instead of splitting the job across two. Unlike top-load washers, they can slot neatly into tighter layouts.

A washer-dryer combo is a great match for:

• Apartment dwellers
• Renters
• Couples
• Small households
• Busy professionals
• Homes without easy outdoor drying

A combo also fits the way a smart home runs. Dishwashers take care of cleaning after dinner, robot vacuum cleaners help keep the floors sorted, while a washer-dryer brings that same hands-off convenience to laundry.

A washer-dryer combo washes and dries in one drum, one step after the other. A laundry centre stacks a separate front-loader and a separate clothes dryer in one tall unit, so each part has its own job.

That setup gives you a different kind of laundry flow. With a combo, one load moves from wash to dry inside the same drum. With a laundry centre, you can have one load washing while another load dries. Handy stuff if your laundry basket fills fast and you like keeping things moving.

Planning the layout is also different. A combo is sized similarly to a standard washing machine. A laundry centre needs a taller spot, closer in size to a fridge than an under-bench washer.

The best washer-dryer combo is the one that matches how your household does laundry. Start with capacity, check the drying tech, then look at what the smart features can do for your routine.

• Wash and drying capacity that suits your household, so everyday loads, towels and bedding have the room they need.
• Drying tech that suits your routine, whether that’s a standard condenser setup or a heat pump option for a more energy-efficient dry.
• Pre-set functions and dry cycles that handle everything from a quick refresh to a big laundry day, plus a delicates program for fabrics that need a softer touch. Check the spin speed too, as it helps pull more water from clothes before drying starts.
• Smart connectivity, such as Wi-Fi or Bluetooth, so you can keep an eye on your laundry from your phone and link your washer-dryer combo into your connected home setup.
• Energy rating, so you can compare long-term energy consumption costs before you choose.
