Shop Smeg laundry by appliance type

• Smeg washing machines: choose between freestanding and fully integrated models, with different drum capacities and maximum spin speeds.
• Smeg washer dryers: combine washing and drying in one appliance where there is not enough room for a separate tumble dryer.
• Smeg tumble dryers: heat pump models use lower-temperature drying and can be stacked above compatible washing machines using the correct Smeg stacking kit.

Choosing a Smeg laundry appliance

Start by deciding whether you need a washing machine, a separate washer and tumble dryer, or a washer dryer. Separate appliances offer the greatest flexibility because one load can be drying while another is washing. A washer dryer uses less floor space but its drying capacity is lower than its washing capacity.

Appliance type	Main advantage	Important specifications
Washing machine	Dedicated washing capacity with a choice of freestanding or integrated installation	Drum capacity, spin speed, energy class, noise and appliance depth
Washer dryer	Washing and drying in one cabinet	Both wash and dry capacity, complete-cycle energy use, spin speed and installation type
Heat pump tumble dryer	Dedicated drying with lower-temperature heat pump technology	Drying capacity, energy performance, noise, drainage and stacking compatibility

Smeg washing machines

Smeg washing machines include freestanding models for installation beneath a suitable worktop or in a utility room, as well as fully integrated machines designed to sit behind a kitchen furniture door.

Capacity is measured in kilograms of dry laundry. A larger drum gives more room for family loads and bulky items, but the most appropriate size depends on how much you normally wash rather than simply choosing the largest available machine.

Spin speed also varies. A higher maximum spin speed can remove more water from suitable fabrics before line drying or tumble drying, although the machine will automatically use lower speeds on programmes designed for more delicate textiles.

Steam Energy Technology

Selected Smeg washing machines use steam at the beginning or end of compatible programmes. Depending on the cycle, this can help tackle odours, allergens and creasing while supporting fabric care. Availability varies by model.

AutoDose

Selected Smeg washing machines include automatic detergent dosing. Sensors calculate and dispense detergent and fabric softener for the selected load rather than requiring a manual dose for every wash. This feature is model-specific.

Automatic load balancing

Automatic load balancing monitors how laundry is distributed in the drum before and during spinning. If the load is uneven, the machine can adjust its operation to redistribute the laundry, helping reduce vibration and excessive movement.

Smeg washer dryers

A Smeg washer dryer combines washing and tumble drying in one appliance. This is particularly useful where floor space is limited, but the washing and drying capacities are not the same.

For example, a washer dryer may accept a larger load for washing than it can dry in one continuous cycle. If you intend to wash and immediately dry a full load without removing items, compare the smaller drying-capacity figure first.

Integrated or freestanding washer dryer?

Freestanding washer dryers have a finished front and visible controls. Fully integrated washer dryers are designed to sit behind a matching kitchen furniture door. For an integrated appliance, check cabinet height, depth, hinge arrangement and furniture-door requirements before ordering.

Washer-dryer maintenance

Smeg washer dryers include programmes and systems intended to help maintain the appliance over time. Selected models use an automatic cleaning system designed to reduce lint and residue within the condensation system, while cleaning programmes help maintain internal components. Check the specification of the individual model because features vary.

Smeg heat pump tumble dryers

Smeg heat pump tumble dryers reuse heat within the drying system instead of relying on the higher operating temperatures associated with conventional drying systems. This supports lower-temperature fabric care while reducing energy use.

Sensor-controlled drying monitors moisture so compatible programmes can stop when the selected drying level is reached rather than running only for a fixed period.

Can Smeg laundry appliances be stacked?

Compatible Smeg washing machines and tumble dryers can be installed vertically using the correct manufacturer-approved stacking kit. Do not place a tumble dryer directly on a washing machine without the specified fixing kit, and always check that the exact washer and dryer combination is approved for stacking.

Freestanding or integrated Smeg laundry?

Freestanding appliances have a finished exterior and visible control panel. They can usually sit beneath a suitable worktop but are not designed to be concealed behind a kitchen furniture door.

Integrated washing machines and washer dryers are designed for fitted kitchens. Check the full appliance dimensions as well as the furniture-door mounting arrangement. Current Smeg integrated washing machines allow the furniture door to be fitted on either side with adjustable hinges, but installation requirements remain model-specific.

Choosing the right capacity

Specification	What it tells you	Why it matters
Washing capacity	Maximum dry laundry load for a wash cycle	Choose around normal household loads and bulky items
Drying capacity	Maximum load that can be tumble dried	Particularly important on washer dryers because it is normally lower than wash capacity
Spin speed	Maximum drum speed during extraction	Higher speeds can remove more moisture from suitable fabrics before drying
Drum volume	Internal drum space in litres	Useful when comparing appliances with similar kilogram ratings

Energy efficiency and noise

Compare energy information within the same appliance type. Washing machines, washer dryers and tumble dryers can use different energy-label formats and test methods, so an energy letter on one product type should not be directly compared with the letter on another.

For washing machines, check energy consumption per 100 Eco 40-60 cycles, water consumption and the noise generated during spinning. For washer dryers, pay particular attention to the figures for the complete wash-and-dry cycle as well as the washing-only figures.

Noise is measured in dB(A). The figure shown for a washing machine or washer dryer normally relates to the spin phase, whereas a tumble dryer's published value relates to drying operation. This makes the measurement useful for comparing like-for-like appliances rather than different appliance types.

Measure before ordering

• Width: most Smeg laundry appliances are approximately 60cm wide, but check the exact measurement.
• Depth: allow for the full cabinet depth as well as hoses and connections behind the appliance.
• Height: check under-worktop clearance rather than relying on nominal dimensions.
• Door clearance: allow enough room to open the appliance door and load bulky items.
• Integrated models: confirm furniture-door dimensions, hinge positions and plinth clearance.
• Stacking: use only the correct compatible manufacturer stacking kit and check the approved washer and dryer combination.

Frequently asked questions

Does Smeg make washing machines and tumble dryers?

Yes. Smeg produces washing machines, washer dryers and tumble dryers, with both freestanding and integrated laundry options depending on appliance type.

Does Smeg make integrated washing machines?

Yes. Smeg offers fully integrated washing machines designed to sit behind a kitchen furniture door. Check the installation height, depth and furniture-door mounting requirements before replacing an existing integrated appliance.

What is the difference between a washing machine and a washer dryer?

A washing machine washes and spins clothes but does not tumble dry them. A washer dryer combines both functions in one appliance. Its drying capacity is normally lower than its washing capacity, which is an important consideration if you regularly dry full loads.

Are Smeg tumble dryers heat pump models?

Smeg's current tumble-dryer range includes heat pump models. Heat pump drying reuses heat within the appliance and operates at lower temperatures than conventional drying systems. Check the individual product specification because capacity and features vary.

Can I stack a Smeg tumble dryer above a Smeg washing machine?

Compatible models can be stacked using the correct Smeg stacking kit. Always confirm that the exact washing machine, tumble dryer and stacking kit combination is approved before installation.

What capacity Smeg washing machine should I choose?

Choose capacity according to the loads you normally wash. Smaller drums are adequate for lighter washing requirements, while larger capacities provide more room for family laundry and bulky items. Also compare appliance depth because two washing machines with similar capacity do not necessarily occupy exactly the same space.
