My dryer went out this weekend and now my washer is acting up. Any suggestions on a good set? I'm not liking the laundrymat trips. This is something that'll teach humbleness to any body. :yup:

I think Lowe's has the best prices. Unless you have a Sam's Club nearby...

First, what kind of budget are you working with?

Second, ditto CarpeDiem, awesome set!!

Dryer reviews on epinions (http://www.epinions.com/Dryers) AND washing machine reviews on epinions (http://www.epinions.com/Washing_Machines) if that helps any!

If you catch a sale on appliances at Sears, that may be a good bet. We've shopped there for appliances before after scouring for the best prices. Not a W&D, but other appliances anyway. :)

All I've heard is avoid the Maytag Neptune.

My mom was VERY successful recently in buying scratch and dent from Best Buy and Conns (if you have those). She ended up buying a matching set but each piece from a different store and saved about $500. Other advice that I have heard is that you should shop for each piece separately because in many cases, the best dryer isn't matched with the best washer. What I am trying to say is that a "SET" isn't maybe always the best way to go.. that's what I learned from Consumer Reports. Have Fun!

The guy who comes out from our natural gas company to work on ours said for washers never get a GE or Amana get Roper or Whirlpool. Kenmore's could be a GE, Amana or Whirlpool with the Kenmore name on it. I figure he would know since he works on so many of them.
