Comments (1)You should post your THREE messages on washer/dryers into one message on the Laundry Forum. Here is a link that might be useful: Gardenweb's Laundry Forum...See MoreOn the hunt for the perfect 2nd floor washer/dryer combination...
Comments (6)I don't know enough about current offerings from all the current manufacturers to say that one is better than another in a second floor application. Your appliance dealer may make his recommendation based on only one attribute, like noise level during operation. A washer has many attributes that you may value differently than your appliance dealer. Consider doing research about potential candidates on line comparing some of the following: Noise pressure during operation Wash ability Capacity Cycle speed Cycle options Efficiency water and heat requirements Appearance Durability Ease of use Overall size All the brands seem to have fans on this blog site, and GardenWeb seems to have some very sophisticated bloggers, appliance services by trade or just really good consumers who want to provide feedback on their ownership experience. You will see good and bad reviews for all machines, and be sure to check a few web sites for a good overall picture of customer satisfaction. Best of luck in your laundry purchase decision....See MoreBest FL washer/dryer for 2nd floor laundry room
Comments (3)I am also curious about this. CR recently reviewed antivibration pads and a new anti-vibration unit that the whole washer sits on. We currently have a top loader on second floor on shake-away pads, and it still shakes the floor more than we would like. CR's most recent tests rate so many washers as excellent on vibration that it is not helpful. Has anyone found real vibration tests for recent (new) models?? The pad that CR likes is only for front-loaders, so we are looking at the following, either: 1. THe best (least vibration) front loader and the anti-shake pad (steadywash I think), or, 2. The least vibration top loader (don't care if it's top or front as we hang all of our clothes, but our current top loader uses way too much water, as evidenced by our water bill increase after we got it - so would prefer something that uses less water) CR mentioned Samsung WF520AB[P] when they tested the pads. Thoughts? Thanks!!!...See MoreLG 8100 washer and dryer on 2nd floor stacked?
Comments (1)Melissa-I hope you don't mind me asking you a secondary question. I don't have your answer, but I have to pull the trigger on my new washer/dryer in the next 48 hours, as BOTH of my 15 y/o Kenmore's have decided to have problems at the same time. :-0 Conveniently, the LG8100 is my #1 choice, but my current pair measure 27" wide and the LG's are 29" wide and probably won't fit, darn-it. I was about to give up and go to my #2 choice (LG4370) when I saw your post. OMG, I forgot I could stack them! But I'm barely 5'3" and at 57 not likely to get any taller. So...how do you reach (or even see) the control panel on the top unit? There's no room for a resident step stool, as the laundry room is the pass-through for the garage and it would be a trip and kick hazard. No matter where I look, this issue is never addressed. TIA for your answer!...See Moreoverhear
