BUYING GUIDE: WASHER-DRYER COMBO

Are you looking for a new washer-dryer combo? If so, the appliance repair and replacement parts specialists at Ateliers G. Paquette are here to help you make an informed decision. Here are four things to keep in mind when purchasing a new washer-dryer combo

Configuration

The first decision you’ll have to make is whether you want a front-load or top-load washer-dryer combo. The right configuration for you will depend on how much space you have and which style you prefer. For example, if you have limited space, a stackable washer-dryer combo is a great option. Conversely, if you have limited mobility or are in a wheelchair, a side-by-side configuration would be more suitable.

Functionality

Next, you’ll have to determine your priorities in terms of functionality. Both front-load and top-load machines are comparable in terms of energy efficiency. However, front-load washers use less water than top-load washers. Additionally, unlike front-load washers, top-load washers are equipped with an agitator, which works to effectively remove tough stains and dirt.

Features

Modern washer-dryer combos come with a variety of convenient features to suit different laundry habits and lifestyles. For example, bulk detergent dispensers take the guesswork out of your laundry routine. You simply fill the detergent dispenser up all the way, and the machine automatically dispenses the right amount of product based on the wash cycle, load size and soil level. Many models hold enough detergent for over 20 loads of laundry! Another exciting innovation is the deep fill feature, which allows you to manually add water to the wash load to effectively clean heavily soiled items.

Style

The overall look of your laundry room is also an important consideration. For example, neutral colours such as white, grey and black suit just about any home decor. However, if you want to add a bit of personality to your laundry room, an increasing number of brands now offer appliances in bold colours such as blue, green, red and orange.
