Washer/Dryer
I could use a little advice shopping for washers/dryers.
What is the advantage of a front-load washer over a top-load?
What should I be looking for when I purchase a washer/dryer?
I want to keep it under $2500 for sure but I think I can get a great combo for $2000 or less. Gas Dryer.
1.)
That with matching dryer would be < $2500. Can I get an equally great combo for less?
Pedestal do anything other than raise the height of the unit? They’re going in my unfinished basement anyhow (I’d get white ones to save money) and considering I run a construction company I can have my welder build me a pedestal for nothing if I really want them raised.
I bought a washer/dryer pair within the last year. I used Consumer Reports to do research to find the best balance between cost and features/performance for the budget we had. For the cheap cost of the online subscription, it’s worth having the info.
Would you be so kind as to tell me what you bought?
Front load washers can hold more clothes than a top load, they can also be stacked if u have a small space you need to put your washer and dryer.
The Whirlpool duet models are really nice and probably one of the top of the line out there, don’t know too much about the LG brand, we don’t carry those at Lowe’s. But Whirlpool makes all the Kenmore stuff as well, they are basically the same thing.
You can get the duet combo for about 2100 I think, 75 dollars for delivery and they’ll haul away your old ones for you.
Bosch also makes some nice washer/dryer combos, and are probably the most energy efficient brand out there.

Thank you, Peter
Turns out they’re leaving their "old" ones in the home I’m buying. I can’t very well justify replacing them when they’re fairly new and function well so it looks like I can throw that extra money elsewhere or leave it safely in the bank

good for you, but if you ever do decide youre in the market, look at the bosch’s which are the highest rated washers right now.
and my personal fave, the top of the line lg tromm’s. the washers have a dedicated centrifugal bearing that realigns itself to eliminate spin noise. very high tech and very cool.
and pedestals do nothing more than lift the unit and give you some underneath storage.
You can look at consumer reports (hard copies) at the library for free as well, fyi.
