JD, IMHO....The era of a washing machine lasting 10,15,20 yrs is a thing of the past. These outfits cost way too much for what you get!
When My wife and I got married we needed a machine about a yr afterward, being a Broke Day working Cowboy back them I opened up a Thrifty Nickel Ad paper and found a Washer/Dryer combo for $200 It Lasted about 5 yrs before It crapped out. I have done this even through Present and still believe I an waayyy ahead as apposed to buying new. We have run 3 to 4 loads a week on average.
I have always used the most current cost of going to the local Laundromat to figure a B-E-P! (Break-Even-Point! and this is my point!
example It takes $14.00 in quarters to Wash & Dry your laundry for 1 week at the local washiteria.
A (Gently Used)* set of Washer/Dry cost $400.
$400 ./. $1400= 28 weeks to Break Even!
* Being near an US Army Post many, many young people move in, get deployed, Divorced, Retire out many, many reasons a set is gotten rid of shortly after the original purchaser bought them!
After 28 weeks in my example You are making Money/
Do what You want!, a Washer/Dryer is a Wear Item at my house. Never had a set go less than 4yrs, Ever!
Later,
John A.

Today's Featured Article - Third Brush Generators - by Chris Pratt. While I love straightening sheet metal, cleaning, and painting old tractors, I use every excuse to avoid working on the on the electrics. I find the whole process sheer mystery. I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point ... [Read Article]
