The Best Laundry Centers of 2023

The app-controlled LG WashTower is a good-looking laundry center with a black steel finish. This high-efficiency washer/dryer combo has a large capacity (4.5 cu. ft.), meaning you can finish your laundry in fewer loads. AI technology suggests optimal wash and dry settings. Using the ThinQ app, you can control your laundry remotely, and ThinQ Care sends maintenance tips and alerts about your laundry center’s performance.

With a speedwash option for 15-minute cycles, the LG WashTower is said to be perfect for families. One couple even bought two: one for their summer house and a second for their primary residence. While this laundry center’s considered quiet and easy to use, the drying monitor sounds pretty lackluster. The LG WashTower is energy star certified and AAFA Certified—so you won’t have to worry about dust or particles floating around—and is backed by a 10-year limited warranty.

Compact and affordable, this laundry center from GE is pretty small. Eleven wash cycles handle various fabrics and amounts of soiling, and six wash and rinse temperatures ensure the right settings for all your clothes. This laundry center also sports really straightforward controls, making it easier to operate than some others.

Auto-load sensing automatically measures the load size and adds just the right amount of water to the washing machine, and the spin cycle is said to be so good that clothes are nearly dry when it’s time to go into the dryer, decreasing the dry time considerably. While this laundry center is smaller, that also means that it’s better for small loads and may not be a good fit for larger families or people who tend to wash large loads.

With eleven wash cycles, ten dryer cycles, and three wash and dry temperatures, this laundry center from Frigidaire is sure to stand up to anything you throw at it. Quick wash and dry cycles are available, so doing laundry in a rush is a non-issue. And while a built-in bleach dispenser is included in the unit, there’s unfortunately no fabric-softener dispenser.

The MaxFill setting on the Frigidaire gives you an option to use the maximum water level for the selected cycles, but this might mean that it uses more water than others overall. A one-year warranty is included with purchase for any issues that may arise.

While this laundry center from Whirlpool isn’t a high-efficiency duo option, it comes at a good price and offers a lot of capabilities. A dual-action agitator works to wash clothes in one of nine wash cycles, with five wash and rinse temperatures, and the lid-lock indicator ensures safety while the washer is in use.

Four drying cycles with two dry-temperature options are good when drying different types of garments, and a tumble press feature works to reduce wrinkles from items once the sensor indicates they’re finished drying. The dryer is said to perform well, but it might also be a little loud despite the advertised “vibration reduction” feature.

This WashTower from LG is a sleek-looking, high-efficiency machine that’s easily controlled via app for a better laundry experience. The stacked, graphite steel unit ensures plenty of room in your laundry room for a folding table or whatever else you might need to store, but still has a large capacity for laundry.

What’s cool about this laundry center is that AI technology can select optimal wash and dry motions and settings, and the washer can auto-select a compatible drying cycle, making this particular chore a breeze. People like this laundry center because although it has a large washer and dryer capacity, it’s also super quiet. Five wash-and-dry temps and six cycle options mean that this laundry center has fewer bells and whistles than some others.
