Which washer/dryer brand should I pick?

Whether you’ve recently moved into a new home or your current washer/dryer set has simply stopped working effectively for everyday use, the time has come to invest in a high quality washer/dryer set. But it can hard to know which brand would be best for your unique needs. You definitely don’t want to just get the cheapest option – after all, the saying almost always rings true – “you get what you pay for.” At the same time, you probably don’t have an unlimited amount of financial resources to pay sky-high prices for your washer/dryer set.

Of course, everyone wants a washer/dryer set that’ll meet their performance demands. No one wants an unreliable washer or dryer that may or may not work on a daily basis. But there are many other variables that may impact your decision.

Is it important to you to have a washer/dryer set that’s quiet? If you have a sleeping baby, elderly relative, or you simply value not having to hear all the noise that often accompanies doing a load of laundry, you may consider investing in a quieter model.

Or maybe cycle time is a higher priority for you. Plenty of us have incredibly busy lives, and we don’t have lots of time to wait around for washer and dryer cycles to finish. If fast cycles matter to you, there are some brands that are better than others in this regard.

How about stain removal? Some brands are known for their impeccable washing ability. Some washers even have a steam setting that improves stain removal capacity. Many modern dryers even have moisture sensors that automatically turn off the machine when your laundry is dry – saving energy and being gentler on fabrics.

Kenmore is always a popular brand for washers, dryers, and many other home appliances. Kenmore is known for its reliability, and many washer/dryer sets are stackable to save you valuable space in your home. They clean well, and they have various options depending on whether heavy soil cleaning or saving time are higher priorities each time you run the cycle. Kenmore is an ideal option for the economically-minded buyer who doesn’t want to sacrifice a quality wash and dry.

LG is also a great brand for washer/dryer sets. The LG washers and dryers are known for their stylish appearance – however most models aren’t stackable, so if space is a concern for you, you may not want to choose this brand. Many models have a large capacity, so if you’d like to wash and dry a large amount of clothes at once, LG may be your best bet.

Maytag is also a brand many homeowners pick for their washer/dryer sets. Maytag washers and dryers are effective cleaners, gentle on fabric, and they’re known for their water and energy efficiency, as well as their quietness.

We could go on and on about the pros and cons of each home appliance brand for your washer/dryer set, but hopefully this article at least gets you started. There are plenty of websites that offer in-depth, well-informed opinions to help you in your search.
