Washer and dryer reviews, by type

Washing machines, portable washers, clothes dryers and portable dryers, each reviewed from the manufacturer’s published specifications — capacity in cubic feet or pounds, spin speed, cycles, energy use, venting, voltage and the dimensions that decide whether it fits. We do not physically test washers or dryers, and every review says so.

Or answer four questions and let the laundry finder narrow them down.

Choosing between specific models? Laundry comparisons put them side by side.

Portable washers
Twin-tub and small automatic washers that fill from a tap and drain into a sink.

Clothes dryers
Vented, ventless, heat-pump and compact dryers: capacity, the vent question, and what a cycle costs to run.
