Where to buy the Smeg WDN064SLDUK washer-dryer
🏆 Review & price summary
The Smeg WDN064SLDUK washer dryer combines a generous 10kg washing capacity with a 6kg drying capacity, a 1400rpm spin speed and 14 programmes. Its strongest features are the steam option, anti-crease aeration, broad temperature and spin controls, LCD display and useful maintenance and safety systems. The main compromises are the lower drying capacity, lengthy rated wash-and-dry duration, 76dB spin noise and D rating for the complete cycle.
✓ Key strengths
- ✓ 10kg washing capacity suits larger household loads
- ✓ 6kg drying capacity provides useful all-in-one laundry convenience
- ✓ Steam, anti-crease aeration and dedicated wool, shirts and anti-allergy programmes support flexible fabric care
- ✓ 1400rpm maximum spin speed and B spin-drying efficiency help reduce residual moisture
- ✓ LCD controls, 1–24-hour delay timer, automatic load balancing, child lock and anti-flood protection provide practical day-to-day usability
Worth considering
- The 6kg drying capacity is substantially lower than the 10kg washing capacity, so larger wash loads must be split before drying
- The complete wash-and-dry programme is rated at 9 hours 30 minutes, making it a poor fit for shoppers prioritising short full-cycle times
- The complete cycle is D-rated and uses 306kWh per 100 complete cycles, so it is not aimed at buyers seeking the lowest combined wash-and-dry energy consumption
- Spin noise is rated at 76dB(A), which is not ideal for open-plan homes or installations close to bedrooms and living areas

Large washing capacity with a smaller drying limit
The Smeg WDN064SLDUK washer dryer can wash up to 10kg of cotton laundry, which is useful for bedding, towels and larger household loads. Its drying capacity is 6kg, so a full washing load cannot be dried in one go and may need to be split before drying.
The 1400rpm maximum spin speed and B spin-drying class should help remove a useful amount of water before drying, although the machine is best suited to buyers who are comfortable managing the different wash and dry capacities.
Useful fabric-care programmes and options
There are 14 programmes, including Eco 40-60, cotton, synthetics, wool, shirts, mixed fabrics, cotton drying, synthetic drying and a 14-minute quick wash. The manufacturer also lists Wash&Dry Cotton, Wash&Dry Express and Wash&Dry Anti Allergy programmes.
Steam can be selected to help soften dirt and reduce creasing, while the anti-crease function can aerate laundry for up to eight hours after a programme. The wool cycle uses gentler drum movement, and the shirts programme combines a special spin profile with steam to help reduce wrinkles.
Straightforward controls and practical loading
The LCD display shows remaining time, programme status, temperature and spin settings, while the rotary selector and electronic controls keep programme selection familiar. A delay timer can be set from one to 24 hours, and the machine offers temperature choices from cool through to 90°C.
The 34cm loading hatch opens through 170 degrees, with a 51cm door window and a 65-litre stainless-steel drum. Automatic load balancing is designed to redistribute laundry when an imbalance is detected, and the accessible filter should make routine maintenance easier.
Energy, noise and cycle times
The complete wash-and-dry cycle carries a D energy-efficiency rating, with weighted consumption of 306kWh per 100 complete cycles. The washing-only cycle is rated C and uses 68kWh per 100 cycles, so the drying stage is the main reason the combined rating is lower.
The manufacturer quotes a 3-hour-58-minute rated washing programme and a 9-hour-30-minute rated complete wash-and-dry programme. Spin noise is rated at 76dB(A), which is worth considering if the appliance will be used close to living areas or overnight.
Build and installation considerations
The brushless inverter motor, stainless-steel drum, automatic load balancing and anti-foam system give the Smeg WDN064SLDUK washer dryer a solid specification for frequent domestic use. Child lock, anti-flood protection and an Acquastop tube are also included.
This is a freestanding, front-loading appliance measuring 845mm high, 600mm wide and 600mm deep. It uses a single cold-water inlet and requires a level, hard floor with enough clearance for the door to open fully.
