Can you tell by the title what I want to talk about? Lol!
My washing machine is on the outs. Its spin cycle is less than effective, and its started to error fairly regularly and need to be restarted. I would put up with it longer except that I really don’t like the machine in general. Its front load, and possibly one of the first ever made 🤣 So while it claims to have an extra large capacity, it doesn’t even come close to the space we used to have. And that stupid front load door is a pain in the neck with our already very narrow laundry area. With these things, I would not at all be mad to retire this washer and replace it with a top load washer that I can grossly overfill without it spilling out onto the floor.
The dryer is ok still. Its big. Older style. Dries a lot faster than my old one, to be honest. Since we moved here, I’ve said I’m not opposed to replacing the washer but keeping the old dryer. I don’t care if they don’t match. However, recently, the dryer will run a whole cycle and nothing is dry. Not a lint trap issue. Likely an element or some small fuse that needs a bit of fixing. Which we’re not opposed to doing, except the question really is whether or not its worth the fuss.
So here are the options:
New washer + old dryer that needs some work
New washer + new washer
Orrrrrrr
One big fancy pants washer/dryer COMBO
Have you guys seen those things? They are REALLY tempting! They’re more money than a complete set, its very true, but if we could swing it, it would fit SO much better in our laundry room! ACK! I dream of such a beautiful appliance!
I welcome input. Please. What would you do??
We bought a stacking kit for our washer and dryer because our laundry room is SO small. Now this wouldn’t work with a top load but with a front load it’s a definitely space saver. The kit is like $50.
