We know what you’re thinking: “Didn’t I just do laundry?” Laundry doesn’t end, but it can get a lot easier with a washer and dryer set from Friedmans Appliance.

Maybe you’re buying for your first home, or maybe it’s time to replace your old laundry machines. Either way, we can help you pick the washer and dryer that works for your needs. Let’s go over the basics.

Laundry Pairs

Laundry pairs are the way to go if you’re buying appliances for your first home. These matching washer and dryer sets can be found in side-by-side models or units that are also stackable. Even if you’re replacing old machines, a laundry pair can help you keep your space cohesive and stylish.

Stackable Laundry Units

Not to be confused with laundry pairs (though they do come in pairs) stackable laundry units are ideal for more compact homes. Some of these models will come with smaller washing and drying drums, but that doesn’t mean they’re small on power!

Make no mistake, these are machines that can be Energy Star rated, have sanitize cycles, and can still fit almost all of your bulky items.

Washer Dryer Combos

A washer/dryer combo is an all-in-one unit. That means your washer and your dryer are right in one easy-to-use spot. That’s even more space saved than with a stackable unit!

These units can work like a conventional dryer, venting steam through a vent or, in the case of a ventless version, will drain liquid through a drain tube. The combination of washer and dryer onto one machine may seem odd, but it still gets your fabrics clean and dry!

The Basics

Of course, you might not always be in the market for both a washer and a dryer at the same time. If you don’t need a combo, stackable unit, or a pair, you can always grab whichever one you’re looking for. Our dryers and washers come with all the easy-to-use bells and whistles you could hope for, like sanitize cycles, wi-fi connectivity, sensor-dry, and so much more.

Drying Cabinets

If you want to keep your clothes out of a tumble dryer and you have the headspace, consider a drying cabinet. These tall dryers are gentle on clothes since they don’t tumble your fabrics around. Fabric-friendly and full of tech like wi-fi capabilities, these dryers are an option worth considering.

However you get your laundry done, make sure to stop by or call our store today, where our experts will be happy to help you find the machines that will work for your needs and your space.

Frequently Asked Questions About Laundry Appliances

What types of laundry appliances are available?

We offer a wide range of laundry appliances, including washers, dryers, stacked laundry units, and laundry centers. Each type caters to different needs and space requirements, ensuring you find the perfect fit for your home.

How do I choose between a front-load and a top-load washer?

Front-load washers generally offer better cleaning and efficiency, using less water and energy. They also typically feature more wash options and are gentler on clothes. Top-load washers are generally more traditional, easier to load, and may have a shorter wash cycle. Consider your laundry habits and space to decide which type suits you best.

What should I consider when buying a new dryer?

Key factors to consider include the type of heating (electric vs. gas), capacity, energy efficiency, and the variety of drying cycles. Gas dryers are typically more energy-efficient and cheaper to run but may require professional installation. Electric dryers are easier to install but might have higher operational costs.

Can I stack any washer and dryer?

Not all washers and dryers can be stacked. It’s essential to check the compatibility of the models you are considering. Many brands offer matching pairs that are designed to be stacked together, saving space in your laundry area.

What features should I look for in a washer and dryer?

Look for features that match your laundry routine, such as steam functions in washers for better stain removal and in dryers to reduce wrinkles. Other useful features include delay starts, high RPM (revolutions per minute) spin cycles for less drying time, and large capacity options for bigger loads.

How can I make my laundry appliances more energy efficient?

Choose models with high Energy Star ratings to reduce water and energy use. You can also use cold water wash settings and adjust the drying time based on the load size to conserve energy further.

What is the difference between vented and ventless dryers?

Vented dryers expel hot air and moisture outside, which requires a venting system. Ventless dryers use a heat exchanger to cool air and condense water vapor into a drain pipe or collection tank. Ventless models are more flexible in terms of placement but may take longer to dry clothes.

How do I maintain my laundry appliances?

Regular maintenance includes cleaning the lint filter after every dryer cycle, inspecting and cleaning washer gaskets, and ensuring both machines are level to prevent excessive vibration. Periodically, also check and clean external vents and ducts in vented dryers to ensure efficient operation.

hat size washer and dryer do I need?

The size depends on your laundry load and frequency. Families or those doing laundry frequently might benefit from larger capacity models, which can handle more clothes at once and reduce the number of loads per week.
