Washers And Dryers, Oh My!

Hey, you guys!

I would love your input on something.

We haven’t started our laundry room remodel yet but because of supply chain issues

I went shopping for a new washer and dryer yesterday.

The last time I bought a new washer and dryer was in 2003 (yikes!)

but now there are so many different choices!

So tell me —

Do you have a front loader??

Or a top loader??

Our washer and dryer are basically in a hallway that leads from the kitchen to the garage.

Laundry area before renovation

The doorway that I’m standing in goes through another little hallway to the kitchen and the door next to the dryer goes out to the garage.

There will be upper cabinets above the washer and dryer but there’s no room for a countertop anywhere so I’m tempted to get front loaders so I can build a countertop on top of them.

But I’ve never had a front-loading washing machine and I’m not sure I would like it. I know they take a lot longer to wash clothes.

I really like the top loader I looked at.

The salesperson recommended that I get one with an agitator because the ones without it don’t work as well.

But with top loaders, there’s no option for a countertop….

Then there’s a stacked unit that I’m considering. If we installed it on the left, it would leave room for lower and upper cabinets next to it on the right.

One of the things I liked about this one is that it’s all one unit and the controls are in the middle so they’re easy to reach. Does anyone have a stacked washer and dryer?

So are you team front-loader or team top-loader? Or do you love them stacked??

I would love to hear your comments on what you love (or hate!) about your washer!

Thanks everyone!
