When I bought my washer/dryer four years ago (at Sears) the sales person tried their best to sell me the "top of the line" front-loading, high efficiency pair but that would have been close to $3,000! I explained to them that all I'm doing is washing and drying clothes. Does this pair fold and put them away, too? Now, if it prepares dinner, cleans up afterwards and loads the dishwasher maybe we can talk. Otherwise......I just need it to wash and dry clothes. I ended up buying a basic white set for $750 and got a $60 rebate! It's still goin' strong!

BTW.....I cannot stand the stainless appliances they have out now. They're almost as bad as the avocado green ones we used to have!
