If you don’t have a lot of space in your home, a stackable washer and dryer is great for getting your clothes clear. Before you purchase one, though, be sure you know what to look for in one.

The first thing you need to do is measure the available space you have in your home. This might seem obvious but because a stackable washer and dryer are more efficient about space, many people skip this step and simply assume they’ll be able to accommodate these machines.

One thing a lot of people forget about when they’re considering the size of a stackable washer and dryer is your height. You may have plenty of room to stack your two machines, but if you can’t safely access the dryer on top, you’re going to have a problem.

What Is the Life Expectancy of Washers and Dryers?

If you own a washer and dryer, it would probably help to know just how long you can expect them to last for. This way, you can budget accordingly and, eventually, buy new ones when it’s time without having to take money set aside for other reasons.

The thing is it’s very difficult to come up with an accurate estimate. That’s because there are countless types of these machines. There are also individual factors like how often you use yours and how well you take care of them.

Should I Buy a Gas or Electric Washer and Dryer?

If you’re looking for a new washer or dryer, one thing you’re going to need to think about is whether to go with an electric or gas option.

Though it may seem obvious, let’s start out by discussing how both types of dryers work. All washers run on electricity, so the debate really comes down to the two different types of dryers.

An electric washer and dryer are going to use a 240V current and a heating coil. If you’re not sure whether or not you can support that much current in your home, look at the plug head. It should be large with three prongs. Some may have four, but then you need an outlet that can match it. This is generally the case with newer construction.

How to Get the Quietest Washer and Dryer Possible

There’s no one quietest washer and dryer pair in the world, but if yours is making noise at the moment, it makes sense why you’d be looking for one. Before you spend any money on one of these units, though, consider the information in this article.

Don’t jump to any conclusions if you only hear a loud noise once or twice from your washer and dryer. That’s because it could be that you’re doing loads that are too small. This is especially true if you’re washing just a garment or two at once and they’re made of wool or cotton. These materials absorb water and, when they don’t have other garments to balance out their weight, can knock back and forth enough that they create a serious noise.

Committing to Eco-Friendliness with Your Washer and Dryer

Being eco-friendly is important, but sometimes, it can also seem impossible to do. For example, committing to eco-friendliness with a washer and dryer might seem impossible. However, as we’re about to show you, it’s a lot easier than most people think.
