I am dreading the process.
Our dryer, bought in 2009, succumbed to bird nests in the external vent. Even after duct cleaning, the dryer never recovered. Now the washer is getting fussy ("overloading" with two towels) and I'm ready for new.
In 09 we went to Sears with a sale ad, were accosted by a salesman and managed to purchase a washer/dryer set "close to" the one we wanted and some $300 of necessary "add-ons" that weren't in the sale price. The installers didn't speak English and were rough on the flooring.
I want a top loading washer, because the front-loader pedestals make the machines too high for the laundry room wall cabinets. There are many choices of where to buy: Home Depot, Lowes, Sears, and several area appliance retailers. None of them is a favorite. I am hoping the forum members can help with:
Thank you,

- How to pick maker/style and actually get that one you want
- How to get the best deal
- Things to watch out for
