washer and dryer

Clothes cleaning duo

A washer and dryer is the paired set of laundry appliances—a washing machine and a clothes dryer—treated as a unit.

Real estate listings and apartment ads mention them together because renters and buyers expect both: The unit comes with washer and dryer.

The phrase often shortens to washer/dryer or appears as W/D in classified ads.
