Full StoryI've been reading this site for a couple of weeks and gathering information. I'm moving into a brand new home (new construction) in a few weeks and have to purchase a washer and dryer... for the first time ever! I've always just lived with whatever was already there in the places I have lived.
I've found so much useful information here, and I really appreciate the wealth of data available! I am hoping that you all might be willing to help me with my final decision.
I have determined from my research that I'd like a HE TL washer, with matching dryer. I've narrowed it down to the Aquasmarts and the Bravos. I'm not sure which way to go, and was hoping to hear some opinions. Here are my concerns:
I need to be able to wash a king-size comforter from time to time. I'm a little worried the FPs won't be big enough. My current washer and dryer are big enough (barely) but I can't figure out the capacities on them because they are ancient Kenmores and just say 'extra capacity plus' or some such nonsense.
My laundry room will be on the second floor (I've never had a second floor laundry before) and between the kids' rooms. I'm worried about noise and also 'floor flex'. The noise reduction on the Bravos sounds interesting... does it really work?
Any other issues I should consider?
