Buying a laundry pair for your home can come with perks like washer and dryer features that are designed to work together, matching aesthetics and sometimes a lower out-of-pocket expense. Use this guide to discover the best Maytag® washer and dryer pair for your family as you compare front and top load sets, then learn more about installing a set in your home.
WHAT TO CONSIDER WHEN BUYING A WASHER DRYER SET
Before settling on a washer and dryer set, jot down a few considerations to keep in mind as you search for the right pair. Consider the size of your laundry space, the washer and dryer capacity that best suits your family’s routines and which machine orientation (top load or front load) you prefer. If you don't need all the bells and whistles, or the extra cycles, but instead prefer a simple-to-use, heavy-duty machine that's built to last, a commercial-grade residential laundry pair may be what you’re looking for. Maytag® commercial-grade residential sets are ready to deliver the powerful strength needed to tackle large loads with ease.
Decide whether you’ll need a stackable laundry pair (front load only) or if you can accommodate a side-by-side pair, and consider any unique features like specialty cycles or smart capability.
You may also consider what type of warranty you want to find the best washer and dryer pair for you. For instance, Maytag brand offers a 10-year limited parts warranty1 on select models.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT WASHER AND DRYER SETS
Read the FAQs below to learn what price range to expect for a new laundry pair and how to measure for and set up a washer and dryer.
HOW MUCH IS A WASHER DRYER SET?
Washer and dryer pairs typically range from about $1,200 for entry-level sets to roughly $1,600 for higher-end models, but a variety of factors can influence the final price tag. Retailers and distributors often discount the cost of the washer and dryer when they’re sold as a pair—or during seasonal sales—and you may save on fees for delivery and installation as it’s all done at once.
HOW WIDE IS A WASHER DRYER SET?
The width of a washer and dryer pair depends on whether the set is stacked or side-by-side, as well as whether the pair is considered compact, standard or large. Standard washers and dryers are generally 27 inches wide each for front and top load units, adding up to about 54 inches in width, not including space left between the units.
Full-size stacked washers and dryer sets work well in narrow spaces at only 27 inches wide.
HOW DO YOU SET UP A WASHER DRYER SET?
You can likely set up a washer and dryer set with existing plumbing, electric and gas hookups yourself or with the help of a friend. Installing the washer requires attaching parts like the drain hose and inlet hoses to the wall ports and washer, then securing hoses, clearing the water lines and leveling the washer.
Installing a gas or electric dryer entails installing dryer feet and the power cord, making the gas connection (if applicable), installing venting and leveling the dryer. Always use the installation instructions and safety guidelines for your specific washer and dryer pair when installing a new set and consult a professional if you’re unsure how to proceed.
