All About 24 Inch Compact Washers

Do You Need to Choose a Compact Laundry Pair?

Living in a tiny, costly apartment is usually the case for most people that reside in a big city. Thus, purchasing tiny appliances that function efficiently and fit in a tiny space is the best choice for most city dwellers. Many compact washers and dryers are 24 inches wide. Because of that, many people assume that compact washers have much smaller total capacities than regular sized washers. However, that is not always the case; most brands have manufactured compact washers with up to 3.0 cubic foot capacities and multiple wash cycles.

While shopping for a compact washer, you have to keep in mind that:

Because these 24" compact washers are so small, they can fit into any corner without a problem and yet blend in well with surrounding cabinetry (see our main banner image for a sample layout!).
If you don't have enough horizontal space, you can easily stack your compact dryer on your compact washer. On the other hand, if you are short on vertical space, you can place your compact dryer and washer next to each other. Nearly all compact washers and dryers are front loading, so you have greater installation flexibility.
Compact washers are usually very efficient and will not cost you a lot to operate. We would highly recommend you purchase energy efficient compact washers because you can save more money in the long run. In fact, you should only purchase energy efficient appliances. We've written two articles on this topic already: "Energy Star Appliances" and "Everything You Need to Know About Energy-Efficient Appliances."
