The highest rated washer and dryer this year are the Steam Front Load Washer and Dryer. The approximate cost is $2500 - $2700 total. I found some great examples at the Sears website.
The Samsung WF218ANW is the highest rated front loading washer. The Frigidaire Gallery GLTF2940FS is the highest rated budget machine and the Samsung WF448AAW front loading machine with steam.
For top-loading washers and matching dryers the highest rated brands were Kenmore, LG, and Samsung. For front-loading washers and matching dryers the highest rated brands were LG, Samsung, and Whirlpool.
what is the rated capacity of the Maytag Neptune stacked washer/dryer MLG2000AWW
The rated capacity of a Kenmore Series 80 clothes dryer is about 3.5 cubic feet. That will usually translate into about 28 pounds of wet laundry.
It depends on what kind of dryer you are going to put in though I recommend to put in a 110 dryer so there will be no need for a contractor as the outlet for your washer is usually rated to supply enough amps for both appliances.
No. They are two different voltage and amperage rated pieces of equipment. Also, a dryer does not use a common (neutral) wire. It uses two separate 110 volt legs, and a ground. The washer uses only one 110 volt leg, a neutral, and a ground.
The Kenmore HE 3t 42933 is rated number one by consumers because it uses less water, less electricity, its large meaning it can handle a family load, and it cleans clothes very well.
Your 110 volt washer receptacle sounds like it is not a dedicated circuit directly fed from the distribution panel as it should be. It sounds like someone has tapped off of one side of the dryer receptacle hot and neutral terminals and run them to the receptacle for the washer. If true, this would have been done in the back side of the dryer receptacles which is located in the wall. You best get it checked out because it is likely the wire feeding the washer receptacle is a #14 rated at 15 amps and is undersized for a 30 amp breaker. A #10 wire has the capacity to be connected to a 30 amp breaker which you should find the dryer's connection to be.
The Samsung gas dryer and electric washer overall are GOOD products. The only cons are the sensor has an issue when there are mixed loads to be dried (towels and lighter items), and there's no delay start feature. The pros are: they're both quiet, energy efficient and its features and looks are impeccable. The price for both is GREAT!
One of the best deals is for the Haier Portable Washer and Dryer. Together they will cost between $300-$400. You can buy them at Wal Mart. I have owned this set, got on sale, and it has washed clothing very well!
"The highest rated GPS system I could find was the Garmin GPS devices. They are reliable, have updated maps, and also sell for a decent price, depending on what model you decide to buy."
