Overall the costings of having the separate Miele W1916 washing machine and Miele T7644c tumble dryer going just on the purchase price work out to be more reasonable over the warranty period, but let's not forget these machines are built to last and over a 10 year period it works out cheaper to go for the combined Miele WT2780 washer dryer instead. With regards to the energy costings, again it is more beneficial to go for the Miele WT2780 washer dryer. Other points to think about is the space saving of having a combined Miele WT2780 over the two separate appliances. Also other things to think about are the capacity sizes for washing and drying, should you have a large family you are certainly not going to achieve the capacities of having two separate appliances with the WT2780.
Therefore is space is a major consideration then opt for the Miele WT2780 combined washer dryer. If costings are important assuming these appliances will last 10 years then again the WT2780 is the appliance to consider. If the case is that you have a family and washing capacities are important to you then go for the separate Miele W1916 washing machine along with the Miele T7644 tumble dryer. In the case that you are concerned about the appliance failing (which with these is unlikely but still possible) then go again for the separate Miele W1916 washing machine along with the Miele T7644 tumble dryer as when purchased together you will get a 5 year warranty on each.
