So my partner are I are in splitsville, and he gets the washer and dryer! Can anyone recommend a cheap, reliable, good set? I'd love vintage but doubt I have the time to search for it! |

Sorry to hear of a fellow Texan having to go through a breakup, especially this time of year. There's a brand new adition to the Frigidaire line on sale at Sears for $389.99 and slightly larger capacity than the affinity above. Looks like introductory pricing. Nicely featurd machine for an entry-level front loader. This is part of a new line Frigidaire introduce almost a year ago.
Oh, and welcome, glad ya sought our advice. We're a nice group. And if ya need someone to talk to, we're all here to "listen" too. CLICK HERE TO GO TO appnut's LINK |

And the same holds true for the Roper and Estate brand washers, all are Whirlpool under the covers. |

Sorry you aren't here in Hawaii. They have a blow out sale and have a Maytag set (washer 4.0/dryer 7.1 cu ft)for $369 ea. !!!!! I got two sets and have them being delivered Thursday.The store is HB (Hawaiian Builder's) and they are extremely competitive with Sears,HD and Lowes.I also saw a new Frigidaire Affinity set at Sears for $679 ea.But the Maytags are real nice and will be stacked side by side.Nobody here knows they're coming yet. HE he he!!

I opened the link when I saw 3.5 cu ft capacity on the 2140/2940 washers. That is the same size as my dreadful Affinity. I say run away fast from either of those.
Trust me, the 2140/2940 will provide you with nothing but frustration, aggravation, and disappointment. Not to mention stinky towels unless you add a lot more water manually. Again, run away fast from such a pathetic excuse for a washing machine. The newer Frigidaires that Bob has recommended are much improved according to what I've read in other threads here. Another bit of advice: Avoid, if possible, any washer that has "auto temp" feature (they want you to think it's a good thing -- yeah, no) that cools down the hot water that you've paid to heat. Basically dumps your water heating dollars right down the drain for you. Try to find a washer that lets YOU decide how hot the wash water should be. |
