Is a washer and dryer in one too good to be true? Our experts take to the CHOICE laundry lab to find out which models:

  • do the best job of washing your clothes
  • rinse detergents out most thoroughly
  • use the most water and energy to dry
  • use the least water and energy to wash
  • are gentle on your clothes.
 

We've also partnered with Shop Ethical on this update to show the ratings the Ethical Consumer Group gives to each company.
