Compiled by Radif Partners · How the figures are built
Stackable washer and dryer dimensions come down to one figure the makers rarely print: the stacked height, which is the washer's height plus the dryer's. The ENERGY STAR washer list names, for some models, the certified dryer sold as its pair. On the lists of November 12, 2026, 19 front-load pairs have every size published. Stacked, they stand from 66.30 in to 78 in, with a median of 67 in, before the stacking kit and the feet. They are 23.60 in wide at the median and 27.50 in deep. A closet 72 inches high takes 11 of the pairs, 76 inches takes 16 and 80 inches 19. 11 pairs are compact, 24 inches wide or less. Only front-load washers stack, because a top-load lid needs to open upward. Laundry centers, a washer and dryer built in one frame, are a separate option: the list holds 7 certified ones. A pair with an electric dryer uses a median 427 kWh a year together, $78 at the U.S. average price of August 2026.
Stackable washer and dryer dimensions, pair by pair
A stack is only as small as its two machines together. The count below takes every certified front-load washer whose pair dryer is on the ENERGY STAR dryer list, with height, width and depth published for both, and adds the two heights. It does not include the stacking kit, which every maker sells for its own pair.
| Closet height | Pairs that fit |
|---|---|
| 68 inches | 11 |
| 70 inches | 11 |
| 72 inches | 11 |
| 74 inches | 11 |
| 76 inches | 16 |
| 78 inches | 19 |
| 80 inches | 19 |
Width and depth in a closet
Closet laundries are tight in depth. A front-load washer of 27.50 in at the median needs space behind for the hoses and the drain, and a vented dryer needs room for the duct to leave the back without crushing. Then the door of the closet must close in front of both. Ventless dryers, heat pump or condenser, need no duct and are common in stacked compact pairs. Measure the closet's depth from the back wall to the inside of the door frame, and compare with the depth on the model sheets plus the gaps they ask for.

Compact 24 inch stacks
11 of the certified pairs are 24 inches wide or less. Compact machines hold less: their drums are smaller and a full-size family load may need two cycles. In return, the stack fits a closet or a bathroom where a 27 inch pair would not. The washer and dryer page gives the sizes of single machines, including the many washers whose height and depth are not on the list.
Energy of a stacked pair
The dryer uses far more than the washer. A certified pair with an electric dryer uses a median 427 kWh a year, which costs $127 in California and $68 in Texas at the prices of August 2026. The dryer electricity page compares vented and ventless models.
