Your Guide to Buying a Washer and Dryer
According to research, the average family in America washes 300 laundry loads each year. So, Washers and dryers are not only big home purchases, but also crucial for keeping your bills under control. The marketplace is packed with offerings, with appliances of all sizes and designs. So, how do you choose the best ones for your home? In this buying guide, we will explore the crucial features to help you avoid paying more for bells and whistles you don’t actually need. Capacity: The first thing that you need to consider is the capacity of the appliance. You need to think about how much laundry you do each week. If you need to wash multiple loads each day simply because your washer is too small, it can be frustrating and inefficient. Bear in mind that a larger capacity washer will have a longer cycle time. So, if you prefer to wash quick, small loads, then a smaller capacity machine would better suit your needs. The capacity of washers and dryers is measured in the weight of the laundry.

Appliances can seem expensive, but think about the life span and how often you use your washer.Features:There are an abundance of features on today's washing machines. Make sure to take advantage of this, and don't buy a stripped down machine. I remember hearing about a customer who insisted on the most basic washer available, and later complained that it lacked a permanent press cycle.Brands:Brands DO make a difference, and it's easy to get confused. For example, the Whirlpool Corporation owns and manufactures several appliance brands, eg. Amana, Whirlpool, Maytag, KitchenAid, and Jenn-Air. However, that does not mean that these brands are the same. For example, Whirlpool laundry products are high quality and hugely popular. Even though Maytag washers and dryers are made by Whirlpool Corp, there are significant differences between Maytag and Whirlpool. Maytag has many heavy duty, commercial parts, that are absent on the Whirlpool as well as a longer warranty and a higher price. You may need advice in choosing between the Whirlpool and the Maytag and weighing the value of heavy duty -

Invite the whole neighborhood!!Precision? Turn that sucker down to a low, low simmer - then fire it up so that it heats the entire back yard. For me, when I first saw the new Dacor grill (some years ago) I saw a grill feature that I'd never seen before, and I became a Dacor grill fan immediately - even before I even knew about all the great features on Dacor grills. LightingI often grilled at dusk or later, and it annoyed me that my patio lighting didn't illuminate the grill area. What a pain!! - standing there with a flashlight trying to check the doneness of the steaks. Dacor grills come equipped with lights.
