I have a basement door opening that is 24 1/4 inches wide. This is the only constraint on washer/dryer size. Looking for electric units. What are some recommendations? DRL123 |

These models are made for Maytag by Samsung and unbelievably work quite well and are extreamly quiet!.At The Home Depot,The washer retails for $649 and the dryer retails for $449.That's $100 off the original tag price.The washer has a 2.7 cu ft capacity and has a spin speed up to 1200 rpms!!!!.During the demo,the controls sounded a lot like those on the LGs and the cycles were similar too.Both the washer and dryer have stainless steel drums and the outer drum of the washer is also stainless steel.The washer's arms are perferated and the set can be stacked using an optional stack kit selling for a mear $19.95.H.D is now having 0%interest on their credit card untill 2006 and a mail in rebate for the delivery of anything over $299.Their service plans are only $89.99 per appliance for an additional 4 years parts and labor.The plan begins AFTER the manufacturer's first year is over.It covers ALL parts and labor,any milage,any damage caused by power surges/power outages/or lightning.It is transferable and can be cancelled at anytime.However if you cancel the plan it is pro rated and you won't receive the full amount back.

Two HD stores recently opened in our area so I decided to check out the Maytag Neptune Compact units. Both the washer and dryer look very nice, and well built. Though it does lack an internal water heater, the washer has a good range of cycles and a pretty large capacity for such a small footprint. Indeed the GE (made by Electrolux) washer which is only about 1.0 CuFt larger was much larger and lacked all the cycle choices of the Maytag unit. Both units are labeled "Made in Korea" and are VERY well built. The door on the washer is one of the sturdiest I've seen in along time on non European front loaders. When one closes the door it makes a nice tight lock, and when open the hinge/door is very tight with hardly any play. In addtion the door feels "soild", not cheap plastic like other washers. The sales person at HD told me the Maytag Neptune Compact washer was $849! I asked was he sure and he checked again, only to come back and say that price is correct. Since Sears sells the unit for $699 and is currently offering free delivery and or zero precent financing, think Sears is the better way to go. On an aside, Homeless Depot really should do a better job of educating their appliance sales staff. The salesperson kept trying to sell me the "GE" made GE front loader, and I kept pointing out GE does NOT make the unit, but Electrolux. Launderess |

Laundress,Home Depot has a full paged nationwide advertisement ad out for those models for $649 and $449.What you need to do is call my store (407)865-5410 EXT 109 and ask for Chuck.I can sell it to you for that price and have it delivered and installed to your house for $50.There is a $50 mail in rebate for delivery.All I would need would be your name,address,phone number,zip code,credit card number including the 3 digit number on the back and the toll free phone number to call,the bank issuing the card,your driver's license # and your home phone as well as cell phone numbers.It takes about 10 minutes to process and as long as there is a Home Depot in the area where the customer is calling from or giving me the information on,it easily goes through and the delivery dates available come up.I ask what date they would like it delivered,type that in and the day before delivery,they receive a call to let them have a 4 hour window on when it will be delivered.Chuck

For doing all that leg work on my behalf! Have been so busy gettng things ready to the holiday but will get into things further after the season is over. Actually hoping someone else "takes one for the team" and purchases these units first, so can get some feedback. Thanks again and Happy Holidays! Launderess |
