If you have time, research is key.

Since 2004 I believe, its been the Kenmore Elite Heavy Duty washer (top loader) and dryer (gas and front loader) with no problemo' to date. There's 3 of us. Well, also the dawg and two katz (you know, blankets and such that they sleep on). So, the above units have been getting a workout since.

Prior to that, we had bought a home in Tujunga back in 1985 with no washer/dryer. A friend I was working with at the time had an old pair of Kenmore washer/dryer (gas) sitting out in his garage. These were green in color and made me believe they were from the 70's. He wanted to know if I wanted them and I said sure. So we hauled them from his home in Glendora out to Tujunga and got all hooked up.

Other than having to replace the rubber band on the dryer drum after a couple of years, they both worked just fine. Got rid of both when we purchased the Elites...
