Smart Appliances — Washer and Dryer

Smart appliances are the latest upgrade in appliances. Let’s look at some washer/dryer options.

Something to always remember is that a smart appliance is normally connected to your Wi-Fi network. This means that it connects to the internet. You should ALWAYS have a separate fire walled off network for your “smart” appliances. Why — because they don’t get security updates like your computer or cell phone, and therefore overtime can become a major network security threat! If you don’t have the “guest” network turned on in your home or business router…or have no idea what I am talking about, please give me a call BEFORE you start adding “smart” appliances to your home.

The Spruce has a nice list of the pros/cons for some 2025 washer/dryer smart model sets: Link: https://www.thespruce.com/best-washer-dryer-sets-4109183. Some models I personally like because of specific features are:

• GE Profile Washer/Dryer Combo, Model: PFQ97HSPVDS; This is a great option for someone who doesn’t have a lot of room but needs an extra-large capacity washer/dryer. This single device does both function and is packed with lots of energy saving, customizable features.

• Whirlpool Top Load with Removable Agitator, Model: WTW8127LC; Some people really prefer top loading machines. The Whirlpool app allows you to customize and control this large capacity top loader, which also features a removable agitator for those special loads.

• Whirlpool Smart Gas Dryer, Model: WGD8127LC; This extra-large model is a gas dryer with moister sensing customizable cycles. You can dry just about anything. Link: https://www.whirlpool.com/laundry/dryers/gas/p.7.4-cu.-ft.-top-load-gas-dryer-with-advanced-moisture-sensing.wgd8127lc.html?
• LG Smart Laundry Tower, Model: WKEX200HWA; I personally use an older version of this model and love it! The smart features allow me to maximize cleaning while minimizing energy usage. The tower design maximizes space while still giving you the ability to dry a load while the washer is running another load. Link: https://a.co/d/fK5RXSg

Really look at your smart appliances’ options. Most people prefer to stick with one brand because of various integrated features and phone app controls, but that may not be the best option for you. Give me a call/text/email if you need some help.
