Combination washer-dryer categories

Combination washer-dryers are available in various sizes, which affect energy consumption. To help you meet your drying needs, these appliances are listed in three categories.

Standard combination washer-dryers

In this category, dryer components have capacities of at least 125 litres; washer capacities must be at least 45 litres.

Compact combination washer-dryers

This category includes 120- and 240-volt dryer components with capacities of less than 125 litres; washer capacities are less than 45 litres.

Standard combination washer-dryers with condensing or gas dryers

This category groups standard combination washer-dryers for which there is energy efficiency data only for the washer components; the dryer components of these appliances are either condensing or gas units and are therefore not rated under EnerGuide.
