Washers & Dryers

Today’s Laundry Machines = Convenience, Style and Efficiency

Washers and dryers are more innovative and stylish than ever before and are no longer being relegated to the basement or garage. More homeowners are relocating the laundry to central areas of the house, such as kitchens, family rooms and even upstairs. In response, manufacturers are introducing stylish designs with bold colors along with time and energy-saving technologies, allowing families to spend less time doing laundry and more time being together.

With any appliance, it's important to evaluate the space you have available before shopping. A proper fit ensures you're able to open doors and access all around your new machines. If you're short on space, consider alternative units, such as compact or portable models. Write down all measurements and take them with you when you go shopping, sales associates will be better able to assist you in determining which washer and dryer units will work best in your space with those measurements.

What size washer and dryer you should purchase depends on the size of your family, how many loads of laundry you typically do in a week, and what types of things you wash. If you wash larger items, such as comforters and pillows, you'll probably want to go with a larger capacity model. Over-loading a washer or dryer will shorten the appliances' lifespan, so err on the side of bigger. Also, with a larger capacity, fewer loads tend to get done overall, saving water and energy.
