Perhaps you are moving into a new home and need to purchase a washer and dryer. Or maybe you need to replace your current washer and dryer. The fact is, you want to choose ones that can keep up with your family’s laundry needs and last you as many years as possible. Before heading out to buy a new set, take some time to think about your options.
The first thing you need to consider is the space you have for the washer and dryer. Will you get ones that are stackable or side by side? Do you want a separate washer and dryer or an all-in-one? Make sure to measure your space carefully, allowing about an inch of space between the machines and the wall for air circulation. Next, think about how much laundry is done in your family. Depending on the size of your family, a smaller washer and dryer may suffice, or you may need the largest capacity out there.
You need to decide between front-loading and top-loading washers. Top-loading tend to have larger load capacities. Front-loaders are usually more energy-efficient and use less water.
