Best Matching Washer & Dryer Sets

Top-rated doesn’t necessarily mean the most expensive; you can find solid washer-dryer pairs that are a good value. The ones on our list range from around $900 to $4,400. Some retailers offer sales a few times a year, so you can score a decent discount if you buy your laundry appliances as a set. There are fewer dryer models on the market, but you’ll find that some match up with multiple washing machines. So CR recommends shopping for your washer first, then finding a compatible dryer.

Read on for a list in alphabetical order of the washer-dryer sets that earn an impressive combined Overall Score in our tests. LG dominates the top ratings for front-loaders, HE top-loaders, top-load agitators, and dryers based on the performance of its appliances in our lab tests and because of the brand’s excellent reliability ratings for its front-loaders, HE top-loaders, and dryers.
