Blomberg or Bosch Compact washer & dryer ?
Comments (12)Thank you very much, louder5, and you too, 1_ohio_bald_eagle. A friend needs a 24" range (the electric model, though–no gas here) with convection and the blomberg and Verona are the only ones available that size. Yes, bald eagle, we expect that service will be a serious problem, but it would be a serious problem for anything but the super cheap GE coil models, too. We're in an area where very few brands have authorized surface, which is odd, because there are plenty of Big Corporate Name families who have very expensive vacation homes nearby. But I guess Molteni goes to you wherever you are. Sorry for the semi-OT, johnnytoobad, but the repair problem is a very valid point, so maybe it's a good thing I detoured a bit....See MoreBlomberg or Bosch Compact washer & dryer ?
Comments (3)Was very happy with my Bosch pair. It's easy to use and does an excellent job. I had the condenser dryer and really liked it a lot. Normal drying times, I would say. I have the Miele set now, which are pluperfect, but for what you're describing Bosch will be fine. I've seen the Blomberg around but can't comment....See Morewhich compact washer/dryer?
Comments (31)I had a second hand ASKO set that I loved, but the dryer kept dying on me. Service was in Saskatoon-several hours away. My Husband had enough, and we purchased a new Blomberg set. The dryer never worked right out of the box. Long story short, it was replaced, but not without several phone calls/emails. The washer is a little work horse, and does very well. Out of the 2, I prefer the ASKO as the wash and rinse options were more customizable. It also didn't shake the house apart when spinning. Crossing my fingers and hoping I have no further issues. Dryer is vented on the Blomberg as it was in the ASKO....See MoreWho Recommends their Compact Washer/Dryer & Why?
Comments (19)I looked at local Craigslist. Someone was selling an old stacked pair with a dryer that didn't always work LOL! That's about the speed around here. So no go. Elux and LG are the two best options. LG pair is $400 more than Elux. Both on sale. Both with heaters; 1400 rpm spin. LG with decent waranty. Elux doesn't specify waranty and requires a call to find out. Does anyone thing LG is worth the upcharge? Can't recall any fans. Miele is advantageous when selling but meaningless for renting as no one cares IMO. I've seen so many rentals and it's always BOL stuff. I would be better off with those jumbo machines (oddly same price) but my loads are so small it's ridiculous....See Morepoppy214
