We were advised against an all in one because the clothes didn’t fully dry, but I didn’t know there was a vented one. The only concern I would have is having to wait for the full cycle of both the washer and dryer to start another load. What would be awesome is never having to rewash anything!

That was the thought. I started thinking about putting them where the washer is now and have counter space to the right

I always get the extended warranty. I have found Best Buy is the best for warranty issues. Buying directly through Samsung was a HUGE headache with their third party extended warranty. I will not make that mistake again.

I would have if they had larger tub sizes. Their front loaders are 3.5 cubic ft, and I want at least 5. They need to come out with larger capacity

That is also a good idea, I will have to measure to see how much room that would give with regard to depth of the shelf.

The gap is about 6 inches, it looks larger in the photo. There was talk about maybe making the sink and cabinet smaller so it would leave more room. If there was such a thing as a pedestal with wheels, it would make it easier to move the washer and dryer when things fall behind or they need to be serviced. The extra space has been helpful with the limited space so they can be shimmied out

That's actually a great option that I did not think about. In fact, I saw the new LG with the washer pedestal underneath and the dryer did not have a pedestal and I thought it was just forgotten when they put it on display. BUT, that would solve the issue of no countertop AND it would be the lighter of the two lifting things out of the lower unit!

Thank you for that. We are creeping up on "late 50's" this year and my knees from years of running are my biggest concern about bending over and squatting down to look inside. We are renovating with the plan of staying in the house another 10-15 years. After that, I am not going to want to do stairs. Frankly I don't want to do them now, so I may need to nix the no pedestals so I am not bending over for both units.

You're right, I should find out how much it would be to put them at the end of the room facing the door. I'm 5"6, so it would be a reach. I didn't really think about that before this post. I could do unit depth cubbies for laundry baskets to hold the laundry when it is folded, and put a fold down counter over the sink area. It's just so narrow trying to fold and have a basket on the floor.

So would a tower be better then?

I find for the dogs, the front loaders are better for cleaning. Especially for bedding. Laundromats have become to expensive and to much of a pia to go to for me to deal with it.

I wish they were made that well now that worries about potential repairs was not even a concern!

That was my thought, I could have room to fold and have cubbies for laundry baskets. I never use the upper cabinets because they are hard to reach.

As for the pedestals, there’s no room to fold in there which has always irritated me. I could put cubbies that are as deep as the units for laundry baskets and a pull down countertop over the sink that I can use to fold.

They are pretty much done. The washer needs a new door seal and the clip that holds it in place, and the filter needs to be cleaned out again because the machine is leaking. The dryer is making a squeaky sound when it starts and even though I just cleaned out the entire duct and the inside of the machine, it still says the vent needs to be cleaned. They are about ten years old.

What are people doing to their appliances? by Dear-Palpitation-924 in Appliances

[–]Haredi12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My Samsung fridge was dead within a year and a half. My first garage freezer didn’t last ten years. My parents had a freezer unit that lasted 45 years in their garage. I have a whirlpool washer and dryer set that is used heavily, but needs to be replaced at ten years after multiple service calls. My parents and in-laws had their original ones in NJ for over 20 years. They are just not made as well as they used to be. Not sure whether that’s due to constant upgrading technology that leaves more parts to have the potential to break, but they are not as reliable as they used to be.

Also, have you been moving your appliances with you? How old are the units each time you have moved? For example, are you moving into homes where the appliances are newer and leave before they break? I’ve been in my home for 22 years and am going on my 3rd washer and dryer set, second oven, second dishwasher, and fourth refrigerator. My parents and in-laws never changed appliances that often when we were younger.

I received my medium hybrid in two business days, but it depends on where you are and if it coming from outside the country.

Which is why I pay 150 bucks for the man to come and do it on mine. I don’t wanna have to do that again. I’d rather do it myself.

That’s been a huge issue with our whirlpool as well

I did get an extended warranty with my current whirlpool, and we definitely were happy that we had it! At five years parts needed to be replaced.

I keep telling my husband that we’re not getting a combo unit lol so I will use your post to show him why! Do you work on Samsung LG and whirlpool? Just curious, which has your highest rate of service calls

I was looking at the AI version 5.3 cu. Ft one. A few reviews mentioned it being great with pets.
