I’m looking on Home Depot’s website, at front-loading washers that have capacity of 3.5-4.0 cubic feet, and they all appear to be 27 inches wide. There is, for example a Samsung WF365BTBGWR for $600. There’s also a matching dryer for $600. One problem will be hooking up those appliances when they’re just about as wide as the opening. So you or the installer will need enough slack on the connections to plug in everything with the appliances in the hallway and then push them into the space.
One more thing. Why are you yelling?
I’m blowing a little under $40 per month.
And my 'mat is the cheapest in town.
2-3 pants per week, fresh shirt daily, socks, lots of shorts (health issue), 10 towels weekly, assorted extras, and my bedlinen.
More than 2 loads. Notably. At least 4.
i bought the combo unit. if i’m only doing one load i use the dry feature. it is true it takes a long time. the dry time says 2 hours… usually you have to run it twice.
i usually do a bunch of laundry then put the wet clothes into an ikea bag and take it to the big dryers in the condo laundry room. 2 dollars and 1 hour later all dry.
i bought the combo because the condo don’t have outside venting for the dryers. you have to use the duct into bucket thing. aside from the fire danger, there was lint dispersal, heat, and much humidity. the heat and humidity would be nice in winter, not so great during a summer heat wave.
should i have to replace the unit, i would get just a washer. taking them down to the dryer is not that big a deal.
Here’s one - stackable, too. There’s got to be a matching dryer (gas, or electric?). There are lots of others. Any halfway decent appliance store should be able to hook you up.
I went with a smaller, full sized Maytag pair, stackable .
August 6th for delivery.
I got a LG 24-inch washer/dryer combo. I’m satisfied but not thrilled with it. It was pricey and the dryer is underpowered, so it takes forever to do a full cycle. The main disadvantage being that you can’t wash and dry simultaneously as you can with a pair of machines.
I’ve gotten in the habit of just turning it on when I go to bed and then stuff is ready in the morning. I may eventually invest in a stackable unit if I can figure out a way to make it fit and deal with venting. (My apartment has a weird layout and wasn’t designed in the era of laundry machines.)
TEN towels? are you only using each towel once? And then throwing an extra couple in just for kicks?
And really, you only need to wash your bedlinens once a month unless you sweat like a pig at night.
I have a Whirlpool “Thin Twin”, that purports to be “Heavy Duty”. I’m renting it from the apartment complex, for a fee that works out close to what it would cost me to use the laundry room. Which is at the other end of the complex, with no seating for babysitting one’s laundry and restricted hours of availability.
My only real gripes are the smaller loads (for two adults, I wind up doing anywhere from four to six loads a week, depending on how much attention bedding and such need (I use the “if it has any noticeable smell, time to wash it” system) and the inconvenient (IMO) placement of the lint trap, at the back of the dryer. Not the best arrangement, especially for a shorter user. The machinery works well, gets my stuff clean, and can cope with a queen-size blanket if I’m careful about loading it so the weight is balanced (and don’t have a problem with doing a second dry cycle).
Especially if you’re not very tall, I recommend checking out the control layout. Mine has the controls at face level, but I’ve seen stackable sets that had the dryer controls above the dryer door, which would not work at all for me.
I sweat like a pig at night.
This is the South.
Hell, I don’t sweat in my sleep and I still wash my sheets every other week at least. I’ve smelled the homes of those who wash them once a month…gamey.
I live in Atlanta. I will concede that I don’t know your sweating rate, but it still seems frequent.
I bathe or shower daily.
And no, I do not re-use towels.
There is a reason.
I never implied otherwise.
Because a re-used towel offends your delicate sensibilities? You should be clean when you come out of the shower, the towel is only for wiping off water. Of course you are not perfectly clean, so the towel will need a weekly washing, but if the towel is so dirty after ONE use, there’s something wrong. I can’t tell if you’re being coy or obtuse or what here.
And here I thought the towel police were a myth.
