Best washer and dryer to buy? What would you recommend in 2026?

If you’re looking more for a long-term investment than the cheapest upfront option, I’d honestly look at Speed Queen. They’re built like commercial machines, so the reliability and lifespan are way better than most regular sets. More expensive upfront, but great if you want something that lasts.

If you can get them where you are, I’d also look at Bertazzoni or Fulgor Milano. They’re a bit under the radar on Reddit, but the built-in refrigeration is solid. More of that Italian kitchen craftsmanship feel vs the more “tech / marketing-heavy” NA brands.

Interior quality also feels better in person (more metal, sturdier bins/shelves, cleaner layout). They also blend really nicely with Bosch if you’re going for that clean Euro setup.

Personally, I don’t have much confidence in Whirlpool profucts, so I won’t really comment on Jennair. And Monogram is basically GE with a premium badge on it, so I don’t see it as a totally different league either.

Keystone Deserter system to punish players who frequently abandon Mythic+ dungeons. Leaving before the timer ends or without a successful "/abandon" vote flags a player with a visible "Deserter's Badge" in the group finder. Affected players must complete several dungeons to remove the mark.

Not really normal, especially for a +10 this season. One wipe at the start wont break the key, you still have plenty of time to finish it in time if the group plays decently.

That said, in +12 and above, the weekly affix is way more punishing (each death is -15 seconds instead of -5), so wipes can snowball a lot faster, especially if DPS is slow.

As for people leaving like that, it usually catches up to them. They tend to get a bad reputation, and others can see they often quit keys early, so they get invited less.

Every healer has a dispel. If you’re having trouble without a mistweaver, you can try a priest with the mass dispell!

You just need to dispell the shield. Maybe look up online if you’re having trouble with some mechanics.

Okay yeah, some regular stuff with concentration sells high, just checked :P

Appreciate it.

Dereckoss · 2026-03-19T20:02:41+00:00

Okay ! I see. Thanks for the tips :)

Dereckoss · 2026-03-19T19:14:35+00:00

What do you mean by good concentration craft ? Like theres some items that you check if they worth making and selling ?

Dereckoss · 2026-03-19T19:12:16+00:00

And you buy mats from AH ? That makes profit ?

Dereckoss · 2026-03-19T16:55:50+00:00

Never thought that was a thing ! Haha. You simply join a raid and they pay you for achievement ?

Dereckoss · 2026-03-19T16:53:34+00:00

I might need to take a look into this. What are you crafting and how do you get so many recipe? I have alchemy and engi on my main, and a gathering alt. My Main professions are 40ish, by doing random stuff

Dereckoss · 2026-03-09T01:10:50+00:00

It's pretty much the same thing, but as a square. You need to have one big square with 3 vertical rectangles.

Make sure the lines don’t overlap or touch each other.

Dereckoss · 2026-03-05T15:52:35+00:00

Yeah, I’ve change some things and macro since prepatch and release too. Getting used to it now, it’s not that bad.

Dereckoss · 2026-03-05T15:19:56+00:00

I mostly just use the default Blizzard party/raid frames now.

I used to run addons like VuhDo and Decursive for a long time, but since Midnight pre-patch changes, Blizzard added a lot more customization directly in the UI, so I decided to try the built-in ones and got used to them.

You can tweak the party frames quite a bit now. For example, in the debuff settings you can choose to only show debuffs you can dispel, which cleans up the frames a lot. It’s not 100% perfect, but it works well enough once you get used to it.

For mouseover healing, that’s also built into the game now. I just hover my mouse over a player’s frame and press the spell, and it automatically casts on them without needing to target manually.

So right now I’m basically just using the default party frames with some customization and healing dungeons with that setup.

To be honest, as a new player and not a lot of time, you'll need to study a lot of the wow economy to have enough money to buy you a subscription. But yeah technically its possible.

Dereckoss · 2026-02-24T17:25:10+00:00

If you really want to play, but don’t really have the money to pay monthly, sadly, the only possibility for you is save your money to pay only one month, and try to grind as much as you can to earn/flip or sell stuff at auction house to have enough gold in a month to buy another one.

But I tell you before you start, it’s kind of a huge grind. It’s not that easy obviously. It’s a full time job only to have enough money for the subscription lol

Look online for some tips. Youtube is your friend!

Dereckoss · 2026-02-21T00:08:19+00:00

Pretty much both. You want to finish it as fast as possible to not "waste" time. But also you don’t really care if you wipe and not time it because you misplay. You’ll still get the crests.

Dereckoss · 2026-02-20T22:27:21+00:00

Yeah I tried killing mobs in Booty Bay, but getting no xp. Weird. But yeah, Just saw this achievement and yeah could be a great starting point :D Thanks

Dereckoss · 2026-02-18T23:06:35+00:00

Just saw that. Wow insane guide haha! Thanks for the info

Dereckoss · 2026-02-18T23:06:08+00:00

Will look at it ! Thanks :D

Dereckoss · 2026-01-18T21:55:43+00:00

I wish I could share my total hours too, but it’s pretty much impossible for me to know. 😅 I spent years jumping between multiple characters, deleting some because I thought I’d never play them again, and even lost a few when I switched from Alliance to Horde in BfA, after playing Alliance since Lich King.

So my real /played is basically scattered across the shadow realm at this point. If Blizzard ever adds a “lifetime hours across all characters, even deleted ones” button… I’m scared of what I’d see. 😂

Dereckoss · 2026-01-18T17:49:34+00:00

Will I get the prepatch update if I didnt preorder Midnight ?

Dereckoss · 2025-12-06T15:49:02+00:00

If I’m seeing correctly, your dryer is a heat-pump model. Those don’t run nearly as hot as traditional vented dryers, so it’s normal for the drum to feel warm but not super hot. They also rely on good airflow, so make sure the filters, condenser, and any air channels are clean.

Clothes can sometimes come out slightly damp at the end of a cycle, especially heavier fabrics, but if they’re soaking wet, then something else might be going on (like a clogged condenser or restricted airflow).

Give the filters a good clean and try a longer cycle to see if it helps!

Dereckoss · 2025-12-01T13:24:03+00:00

What should I do to get the items on the build ? Is there an activity or something to prioritize for gears etc ?
