Old Washer and Dryer, coming soon to an eBay ad near you!
Last week we were very disappointed to find out our washer was not working. It would start normally, but once the tub was full with water clothes and soap, it would just sit there with the timer running. Then it would drain the water and rinse the same way, and then most of the time not even spin dry. After a service call and a estimate of $300 to fix it (it only cost $500 new, 11 years ago) we decided to get something new as a long term investment.
Because of the boys (and our future set of triplet girls, coming in 2009-2010) it was clear that the amount of wash to be done is only going to be more and more as time goes on. I did some research on the Consumer Reports website. After picking 2 models that seemed to fit our needs, we went on Saturday and purchased a new washer. Then, we purchased a new dryer too. It’s hard not to buy in a pair since the capacity of each should be matched. We went with the WFW9600T series from Whirlpool.
So earlier this week we received our new washer and dryer. The old ones will be up on eBay for sale very soon.
Between the living room remodel, new TV, New Air Conditioner and Furnace, this has been a very expensive year! Oh yea, and twins are not cheap either. But we wouldn’t change a thing.
The guys delivering it had a nifty harness that they attached to both of their shoulders and back that allowed them to just walk the washer and dryer down the stairs into the wash room (and carry the old ones out).
My only concern now is, what will go next? The dishwasher is about 10 years old, and the Refrigerator about 15.
