In February of this year, I bought new washer and dryer. After reading Consumer Reports, I got the LG HE (high efficiency) front load washer, and the coordinating dryer.

Oh my GOSH these are phenomenal! I love the whole set up.


BTW, check with your electric / gas company about rebates. Also check on line, the Energy Start web site for rebates.

AND the federal government is going to be offering rebates as well, similar to what they did with the cars, to get older, less efficient washers and dryers out of use. So you may be able to use that program, it comes out in October (already have specified it is NOT retroactive, so don't buy today and plan to collect next month).

The federal money will be in addition to any other rebates available at the time.

It will cover most appliances: washers and dryers, refrigerators, dishwashers, furnaces, boilers, water heaters, etc.
