After months of spinning and spinning and ultimately hand wringing many of our clothes before putting them into the dryer, and many debates about the pros and cons of purchasing different types of machines, and many hours of research on my part, we have finally replaced the old washer and dryer with new high efficiency front loading washer and a new dryer to match.
Here they are...
(drumroll please)
Meet the newest members of our family:
Samsung wf330 Washer
While the colored ones are very nice, we couldn't bring ourselves to pay more just for the color. We also didn't buy the pedestals, but these are pretty tall and not any more bending is required to load/unload than our previous dryer. They were rated #4 for energy efficiency and rated by a consumer search site as the number one high efficiency washer/dryer (the one on the site was replaced by this model number fairly recently). While there are a lot of options and all have a lot of pro's and con's, Samsung tends to be highly rated overall. We got them on sale, delivered, and lots of rebates. Hopefully, these guys will be members of our family for a long time to come. Maybe once I've done a few more loads of clothes, I can provide a more thorough review. In the mean time, I am contemplating plopping myself on a stool in the garage and watching the magic spinning machine!
If anyone has suggestions for how we should name them, I'd be open. I think they deserve a name.
