One must make sure that one is getting the best bargain for his money, all you need to do is know all there is to know about washer’s and dryer’s.
Let us begin at the very beginning; washer’s and dryers are basically either top loaders or front loaders. Front load washer dryer has its advantages it uses less water, electricity and detergent and is gentler on the clothes. The top loader is preferred by people for its convenience of not having to bend. Both options are available in most of the top brands.
The top brands at the moment being Whirlpool, Frigidaire, Hoover, LG, Kenmore and Maytag. Each offering a wide variety in both top and front loading washer’s and dryer’s(Stackable, portable and combo washer and dryers).
Stackable washer dryers are convenient when space is a constrain, (as compared to the combo where washing and drying is done in the same tub but the clothes are not well dried) this is a better option because the dryer is of superior quality. Whirlpool Duet being the best stackable washer dryer in the market, with its front loading washer and separate Duet dryer which goes on top, only disadvantage being that the height becomes over six feet tall so the washer controls are difficult for an average individual.
Compact washer dryers are very good for tiny city homes they have many convenient features like auto load sensing, low noise levels and can be left unsupervised for many hours .They require less space and need a sink or tub near by for the water outlet hose .These are again available in front and top loading .Again the clothes do not come out completely dry as the capacity of the dryer is half that of the washer.
The compact variety is also available as portable washer dryer, which can be used and stored away and is a space saver.
It is good to have a moisture sensor in the dryer as it detects the moisture content in the clothes and automatically switches of, this reduces the wear and tear of your clothes. But this will cost you a little extra. Gas dryers are cheaper and faster as compared to electric dryers.
So make sure you do your homework on these washer’s and dryers before you buy one.
