It’s been a while since I had a washer & dryer, my last was the Maytag Neptune, front load washer & dryer on pedestals, I had them for about 14 years without a problem. I gave them to a cousin whose washer broke down still running today. It is very difficult going to the laundry mat( sometimes they are dirty, dryer sheets on the floor, debris everywhere. Since moving into a new home, I bought myself a house warming present—(the birthstone for September, my birth month) Sapphire Blue Washer & Dryer, they are quiet & do a great job cleaning & drying my clothes. I love them.
