Why Choose an Integrated Washer Dryer?

Integrated washer dryers offer the perfect combination of functionality and design, allowing you to maintain a sleek, uninterrupted kitchen aesthetic while still enjoying the convenience of washing and drying in one appliance.

These versatile machines sit neatly behind your kitchen cabinetry, completely hidden from view when not in use. The additional cabinet door provides extra sound insulation, making integrated models typically quieter than their freestanding counterparts—an important benefit in open-plan living spaces where noise can be disruptive.

The Benefits of Integrated Washer Dryers

Integrated washer dryers offer several distinct advantages that make them increasingly popular for modern kitchens and utility spaces where both function and form are important considerations.

Advantages:

Creates a seamless, built-in look for modern kitchens
Cabinet door provides additional sound insulation
Protected from kitchen splashes and bumps
Combines two appliances in one built-in unit

Considerations:

Typically smaller drum capacities than freestanding models
Professional installation usually required
More limited model selection
Usually more expensive than comparable freestanding models

Installation Considerations

Standard Dimensions

Integrated washer dryers are designed to fit standard kitchen unit spaces. They typically measure 595-600mm wide, 820mm tall (to fit under standard worktops), and 540-555mm deep. Always check your cabinet dimensions before purchasing.

Cabinet Doors

Most integrated washer dryers require a specific cabinet door that attaches to the appliance with special fittings. Some models come with door fittings included, while others require separate purchase.

Professional Installation

Due to the complexity of fitting integrated appliances correctly, professional installation is highly recommended. This ensures proper ventilation, plumbing connections, and secure door fittings.

Key Features to Look For

Capacity Balance

Integrated washer dryers typically offer 7-8kg washing and 4-5kg drying capacities. Look for models with the smallest gap between washing and drying capacities for more convenient full-load processing.

Spin Speed

Higher spin speeds (1400rpm+) extract more water during washing, resulting in more efficient drying cycles. This is particularly important in integrated models which typically have smaller drying capacities.

Noise Reduction

Look for models with low noise ratings (below 70dB for spinning, below 60dB for washing). Many integrated models feature special insulation and anti-vibration systems for quieter operation.

Sensor Drying

Moisture sensors that detect when clothes are dry prevent over-drying, protecting your garments and saving energy. This is especially valuable in integrated models with limited ventilation.

Quick Wash & Dry

For smaller loads or lightly soiled items, quick wash and dry programs can complete the entire process in under 60 minutes, perfect for busy households and last-minute laundry needs.

Clear Controls

Since integrated models are positioned at a lower height, look for intuitive, easy-to-read control panels with clear displays that can be easily operated without straining.

Energy Efficiency

Look for models with higher energy ratings (B or C) to minimize running costs. While integrated washer dryers typically use more energy than separate appliances, efficient models can still keep costs reasonable.

Water Efficiency

Unlike heat pump dryers, most washer dryers use water during the drying process. Look for models with efficient water consumption to keep utility bills manageable.
