Washing Machines—How to Get the Most for Your Money
Washing machines and dryers are practical necessities, unless you want to pay to send your laundry to a cleaner’s or spend time in a launderette. As with all major appliances, it is important to make sure that you get the most for your money and the right “fit” for your home.
It is best to measure the area in which you plan to install the washer/dryer. Some units are stackable, but others must sit side by side. Adequate space must be allowed for hoses and ventilation. So, it is necessary to measure width, height and depth.
Capacity is the next consideration. Front-loading machines are becoming increasingly popular, but the capacity is smaller. The only problem with smaller capacity machines is that more loads will be necessary. Large capacity machines can help save time, which is important to today’s busy family.

Energy efficiency ratings are good things to consider. The ratings are only estimates, but it does allow you to compare one brand to another and estimate the annual cost of use.
If a cheaper model costs more to operate, you are better off paying now than later. Most families find that their washing machines last for many years…in some cases, longer than they would have liked. New features are always attractive.
Some models have separate dispensers for detergent, fabric softener and bleach. The fabric softener dispenser allows you to leave the machine unattended. There is no need to stand around waiting for the rinse cycle.
Color is a feature that is not important for the operation or lifespan, but from a decorator’s perspective, it is important. While you might be tempted by the brighter colors available today it is best to stay with a basic color that will match any décor.
Unless your laundry room is in a closet, you’ll love your purchase longer if the color is muted. Besides, those fancy colors cost extra.
If the smaller capacity is not an issue, front-loading washing machines have many advantages, especially from an environmental standpoint. They use less water and less energy. They run quieter, too.
You can find the best prices, the latest models and the best selection on eBay. If you do a little comparative shopping, you will certainly find that to be true. Department store prices are much higher and dealing with salespeople can be frustrating. They always want you to buy the “extended warranty”.
Most washing machines come with a manufacturer’s warranty, which is all that you need. Check out what’s available on eBay and get the most for your money.
