Black Friday Deals on Washer/Dryer - need help deciding!

14 years ago

I have analysis paralysis on these two deals - could use some opinions to sway me please!

Sears Samsung Set - WF219ANW and DV219AEW for $998 (less 13%(?) Bing cashback, plus tax)

Home Depot LG Set - WM2101HW and DLE2101 for $998 (less 8% Bing cashback plus tax)

Feature for feature they seem almost identical - except Samsung has drying rack (do I need??) and stainless steel drum on dryer as well (LG is only SS on washer). Even the reviews online are about the same (mostly positive with a few negatives for each)

Help?

Best Buy has the Samsung WF407ANW for $599. each. This is more than the others you looked at but these are the Steam models if you might be interested in that feature.

I would consider the Samsung because they have the vibration control system. The LG on sale doesn't mention that. I know they have it on the newer higher-end models. If you are installing on concrete either should be fine.
Great prices on a lot of different models and stores.
Good Luck.

Thank you for the help! I finally decided on the Home Depot set, mainly because LG *seems* to have a better rep when it comes to w/d (I'm new to w/d research though) and Home Depot had free delivery :) It's also going to be on a first floor/concrete (tile) so hopefully vibration won't be an issue.

I looked at the set at Best Buy yesterday - I did like it b/c of the steam feature, but it scared me a bit b/c it's a new model exclusive to BB - which means there aren't any "real world" reviews and BB can set the "regular" price in the ad anywhere they please. I wasn't convinced it was a $1200 regular price machine when comparing it to the other regular Samsungs in the store. I also didn't want to stand in line on Friday a.m. if I didn't *have* to :)

I also got the BING cashback on the HD set and I wouldn't have gotten anything on the BB set - so essentially it would have been $300 more for steam. (more or less)

Thanks again :)

I ordered several delta Cassidy items as well! Unfortunately almost all my bathroom Cassidy items are back ordered but I've got plenty of time since our slab was just poured today. I contacted them today to confirm which items were back ordered so that I'd know what to expect in the shipment and it's a good thing I did! They were holding the rest of my order until those few items showed up at the distribution center. They'll go ahead and send what's in stock if you contact them (they offered, I didn't have to ask). My order contains 32 items and they're not being delivered to the job site so breaking it up into smaller deliveries is definitely a good thing!

how do I decide on a washer/dryer?
Q

Once upon a time I typed up a list of questions for helping select a machine....not all these pertain to you, but its worth clipping (anyone want to add anything?). I saved it in my clippings, public. Do you want a front loader (FL) or top loader (TL)? If you want a front loader, do you want an internal heater? If you donÂt know, please read the Laundry Room FAQ (insert link here). Where in the house will the washer be set up Â second floor, basement, closet? What is the floor made of? What are your space configurations/confinements? Are you looking for undercounter units? How big a machine do you want? How many loads a week do you do or want to do? Do you have special laundry considerations like shedding pets, or young children in diapers? Do you have any problems now that you are hoping to solve with a new machine? How important to you is the loudness of the machine? Do you want controls on the top rear or front of the machine? Where are your hook-ups Â washer on left/right, stackable? Are you looking for just a washer, and if not, do you need/want a matching dryer? What factors are most important to you: cost, reliability, performance, speed, water/electricity savings, controls (specify things like: water temp, type and amount of cycles, cycle times, spin speed, ability to open the machine and add chemicals or clothes)? How much do you want to spend? Do you have a preferred vendor Â Sears, Best Buy, Independent retailer, Lowes/Home Depot (some may have deals going)? Have you called a few of the extended warranty companies to ensure they are within servicing distance?

Need help on deciding on capacity size for front load washer.
Q
Comments (11)
Thank you for the replies. My laundry sizes vary. I have 5 people in my home. Some of them actually do loads according to color, some just take the weeks worth of clothes and do one load lol. I have 4 Queen size beds and one king size bed. We have animals so all bedding is done once a week to cut down on the hair building up on our comforters. I wash a lot of rugs. I do my rugs in front of the doors and in the bathrooms once a week. They are really hard on a top loader but with the new larger capacity front loader I am hoping to be able to comfortably wash the rugs as well. I live in Florida and between summer rains and sand the rugs are dirty in no time. Before I moved here I had a Whirlpool Duet with steam front loader set. I loved it and actually thought about buying the set again but while I could wash a queen sized comforter in it I was stuffing it in and I am almost positive that they could not handle a good sized filler king comforter without possibly over loading it. Samsung seems to be one of the few companies that make larger sized machines. I will have the 5 year warranty on them plus my appliances will be included in my home warranty as well so while I hope I have no issues maybe this will at least cover any repairs needed. Again Thank you.

Black Friday / Cyber Monday deals, anyone?
Q

Raven, thanks. I read those reviews on Amazon, but I think it's possible the one I bought directly from Motorola might be different from the one Amazon is selling. I'll see what it looks like when I get it. Definitely will need a case! The G7+ was only recently released in the U.S. For a couple of years it was available only in Europe. When it was finally released last month, it seems there are two versions of the same model involved. I don't know any more than that, but I'm sure I'll love it. The camera reviews are great. Although this will be my third smart phone, I've pretty much ignored the others, using them only for phone calls or texts when I had to. I don't have a cell signal at home, and the idea of checking email, etc., when I'm out never appealed to me. But it seems to be universally assumed that everyone has a smart phone with them at all times, and it's getting harder to do some things without the ability to tap and swipe, etc. So I'm going to sign up for my first data plan, and a new chapter begins. :-) Those boots are so cute! My daughter-in-law bought me a similar pair a couple of years ago, but in paisley.
