We have budgeted $1400 for the washer and dryer appliances, but can spend no more. Is crieg's list a reliable source to buy something used like that? or should I go new, and is it possible with our budget?
about $1800 will get you in the door.
hmmmm - have a front loader -- stacked washer and dryer - its the GE Duet, you can get deals of under a thousand for the washer, but fitting the washer and dryer into the 1400.00 will not be easy. If your dryer is gas -- DO NOT BUY A GAS APPLIANCE FROM SEARS! Sears does not service, install or back up any gas appliances they sell, they may back the appliance itself, but they will not help you at all with the conversion, or ?'s or anything pertaining to the gas and the relationship to the appliance at all. My best bet would be -- check with costco -- from time to time they get these units in at a considerable discount... you never know when -- and neither do they, you just have to keep checking. If your unit is on its way out -- start looking now -- there is nothing worse than having to make a harried large appliance purchase - i have been there. We got our units from a local carrier called Idler's, buying from a local carrier that backs the appliance and everything that goes along with them really is the best way to go. Thee is a unit that loads from the top, but spins the way the front loaders do. Check out a GE website, or GE show room, they will know what this model is. Good Luck!
