What to look for

The drying load is usually smaller than the wash load; check both figures.

Models worth comparing

From manufacturers' specifications and published UK reviews, read on 6 October 2026. Not tested by us. In no particular order: these are not ranked, and we do not say which is best until the customer ratings are in.

Budget

Beko BM3DT68342W

Small homes with no room for two appliances that want an affordable all-in-one with quick wash options.

  • Quick programme washes 8kg in 28 minutes
  • UltraFast option washes and dries 5kg in under three hours
  • Sensor drying to avoid over-drying, plus a 10-year parts guarantee on registration

Watch out for: It dries only 5kg at a time and the 75 dB spin is on the loud side.

Premium

Bosch WNG254R1GB

Larger households that want a big wash drum in a quieter, well-built washer dryer and don't need smart features.

  • 10.5kg wash and 6kg dry capacity
  • Wash & Dry 60 cleans and dries small loads in an hour
  • SilentPowerDrive motor with a 10-year warranty and 70 dB spin noise

Watch out for: There is no app control, and Bosch's own shop listed it as currently unavailable when we checked, so stock may vary by retailer.

Pro

  • 11kg wash drum, the biggest on this list
  • AI Direct Drive adjusts wash motions to the fabric
  • TurboWash360, steam and Wi-Fi control via LG ThinQ

Watch out for: It dries only 6kg, so a full wash load has to be split before drying.
