We need a new washer/dryer (gas dryer) front end loader is what we have decided to go with. But were having trouble choosing witch model is best for us.We need something for a family of 4 (and growing) something that we could wash our blankets at home instead of going to the local laundry mat would be great! Size, brand ... ?? Any suggestions?
I prefer top loaders the best
KENMORE OR WHIRLPOOL FRONT LOADING WASHER duet series. We have not had to repair any of these except for cosmetic damage for the last 7 years since they really started hitting the market. They are on the expensive side, but they are more energy efficient as they use less water, less soap. I work in the appliance repair industry as the parts manager. Would also recommend the fridgidaire front loaders are also good. They have been around longer than whirlpool ones, and the repairs on these are very few and far between.
We bought a Kenmore Elite front end dryer and top loading washer. I can put a full size comforter in that puppy and it gets it real clean. And I can put the equivalent of about 2 of the old loads of laundry in my new one. I love it! It adjusts the water level automatically so you don't waste it too. You can totally adjust the settings if you want but I have always let the washer pick the settings and I haven't ruined anything yet. I have a family of four with two teens -lots of jeans and towels! btw, I read up on the high efficiency ones before we bought this set. There were problems with musty smells and such, so I read. That's why we decided on the traditional washer/dryer.
