Recommend your washer/dryer

We'll soon be in the market for a new washer dryer set.

Do you love yours? What features do you particularly like? Are there any features you wish you had?

Ooo... I need this! Ours are about ten years old and aren't working the same anymore. We need new ones too.

I've heard LG but I'd love to see what the ladies say.

We got ours a year and a half ago. They are LG, the washer is the High Efficiency top loader and I love it. It holds SO much - a lot more than any of the front loaders we looked at and even more than a regular top loading washer because there is no center agitator. When we were researching it also looked like some of the HE front loaders can have a problem smelling musty if the door on the front isn't left open all the time. There was a set that had a dryer with a steam option that we decided against because it was more expensive but that would been cool to have!

We've had large HE LG front loaders with the steam option for 7 years w/ no issues. I love that we have them stacked because we have limited space.
We leave the washer door open a lot to prevent door grossness issues.

I have the Whirlpool Duet Steam W/D and I love it. I've only had it a year so I can't speak to durability. I love the steam clean option - it does seem to get clothes cleaner when they're really stained. I like that it has a sanitize option. I like that it's HE. They're front loading and I have them on pedestals, which added to the price but it's nice for storage space (in addition to making them easier to reach). Oh, and I like the delay wash option - I often put a load in before bed with an 8-hour delay.

m.homedepot.ca/product/productdetails.aspx?ProductId=813965&lang=EN we got this (and the matching dryer in May. I love it. My only problem with it is that I'm short and I have a hard time getting ask stuff from the bottom of the washer. It holds a ton of clothes.

If you're buying from Home Depot don't pau full price. They have them on sale every other week.

I will give an anti-recommendation: DO NOT BUY ASKO. AWFUL!

Oh yeah, I love delay wash.
