Appliances: Buying a Front Load Washer & Dryer w/ Steam
We're looking to buy a washer and dryer but have never bought one before. My brother and father both have front loaders (LG) and like them, but have suggested that I look into the Samsung or the Electrolux too and also make sure that I buy one that does steam. Do any of you have experience with these? There are so many features on these new washers and dryers its difficult to see what is even necessary. I would like to be able to wash my king comforter in it, so we will probably get one of the larger ones. Thanks for your help!!
