Our washer and dryer is in fine condition, 13 yrs old but they are Maytag, big name back in those days, lol.
We went by our townhouse yesterday and DH realized they are not going to fit thru the door opening w/o taking down wood trim and moving fridge. He's also afraid with them being older, something break and we have a flooding issue on the 2nd floor that may cause alot of damage, the garage is underneath.
I called it a basement but its really the 1st level of a townhouse, I call it a Florida basement, lol. Their are hook-ups in the garage, DH wants to put the older ones down their for bigger loads and purchase a set on sale from Lowe's for the 2nd floor. They will stack on top of each other, giving us more storage room. Its just a small laundry closet, if we stack he can use the rest of the room for shelving.
I don't know about buying a new set when we don't need one, but I sure don't want to do any laundry in the garage, the living areas are on the 2nd & 3rd floor. Also we've never kept our garage very neat :bag.
I just looked at Lowes.com. the washer I think it is, has alot of mixed reviews. I don't remember the brand, fairly sure it was a Whirlpool.
Now I really don't want a piece of crap thats going to cause problems!
I know I can't convince DH to move our current ones upstairs. If we buy I want a set that has good ratings, and a good deal. Wonder if I'll be doing laundry in the garage until Black Friday :(.
There is a Samsung set, about $300 more that has great reviews. Would you get a new set because your DH is stubborn, its a big investment, kwim? I Would get a huge convenience, but just don't want to spend $$$ on something we already have.
