thumb|upright|This Hitachi washer-dryer has a complex control panel and display to handle various options (2025). thumb|Combo washer dryers typically use a front-loading configuration. A combi washer dryer (also known as a washer dryer in the UK) is a combination in a single cabinet of a washing machine and a clothes dryer. It should not be confused with a "stacked" combination of a separate autowasher and a separate tumble dryer.
The small size of these machines, compared to the total space consumed by a separate autowasher and tumble dryer, suits them to small homes, apartments, and condominiums. Combo units typically have a small height, allowing them to fit into confined places. The units are notable for their ability to wash and dry clothes in a single cycle without the need to transfer laundry between two machines.
