RANK: below TOP10
Modern combo units are gaining more and more popularity due to the numerous features and advanced construction. However, that doesn’t mean that we should ignore the stackable units, right? What we have here is the Whirlpool WET3300XQ – 8 cycles, 4 temperature levels, and pretty good capacity – all in all, a good unit to fit into your small laundry room.
Okay, if you’re used to combos with modern digital displays, I’m afraid this stackable unit might be a blast from the past. Oh, and this unit is small, but it uses a lot of electricity and water. So I guess this explains why it’s not in our top ten.

Conclusion: All in all, the Whirlpool WET3300XQ can wash and dry, but what we don’t like is that it does neither extremely well. Nothing good can be said of this unit other than the fact it saves space. So, a stand-alone combo would be a way better bet.
