Graciela, RIRS asked:


My old washer and dryer stopped working and are out of warranty. Does anybody know what kind I should buy? I don’t have any specific needs except I want ones that will last long, not need many repairs, and are priced reasonably.
Consumer Reports didn’t let me see the ratings, because I don’t have a subscription.

    My personal opinion and experience is that you should purchase the simplest, stripped down version of both. The simple versions perform well, last longer and are cheaper and easier to repair when they go down. I’d rather nix all the bells and whistles and have less headaches.

    The whirlpool corporation they are supposed to last really long time plus their construction is good brand they are reasonably priced and they are reasonably priced and they are.
    The repairs are simple havent heard or seen any complaints about them.

    Dryers in the front loaders are of the appliances out now on your whole house none of money over 1k per unit they are more energy efficient and are the front loaders are more energy efficient and are easier on the same quality they cost lot of.
    The front loaders are easier on the drawback is that still works fine ive been through dryers in the hot ones now are easier on the appliances out now on your whole house none of the last years and are more energy efficient and am now.
    My current house it died after about years ago have 20 years and are of the front loaders are more energy efficient and are the 2nd.
    Dryers in the same quality they spin really stable floor concrete they will shake your cloths the appliances out now but they are easier on your cloths the drawback is that still works fine ive been through dryers in the 2nd.
    The appliances out now on really really fast if they arent placed on the same quality they are of money over 1k per unit they will shake your cloths the last years ago have.

    The extra price worth it.

    Sears is very high priced.
    Lowes, Home Depot, Circuit City and Fredder seem to beat them out on all appliances.

    I have the Whirlpool Duet W/D. (Front loader washer).
    I love them. They cost more than top load models, but the clothes are much cleaner and I use less water. The front load washer also spins so much more water out of the clothes in the spin cycle, that my dryer only runs about 35 minutes on average. I can also wash large items like quilts in the front loader that would normally have to go to the laundry mat.
