Dryer prices :( (Is it just me)

[Blueface]

You got off easier than me.
My washer broke so she needed a new one.
Decided she had to have a front loading one, with the darn additional pedestal, with the stainless inside.
You don't want to know how much.
But that is not where it ends. She then tells me while at the store that she cannot have them mismatch. So..........a front loading dryer to replace the one I had, which worked just fine, and of course, add the pedestal also.
It was quite a trip that is still being paid on "same as cash".
So I am jealous of you!!!

I was kind of in the same situation.
We bought matching front loaders. Not the pedestal.
After a few weeks I went back and got the pedestal. Way too low without one. Plus it gave a good place for storage.
They shhlould come with pedestals already.

luckily, our laundry room has a sloped ceiling that precludes use of a pedestal


that said, i am pretty impressed with our pricey washer/dryer set. all i know is it holds a ton, it talks to my wife when she turns it on (well, not literally), and things come out clean and dry.

That part started tonight

First it was hear how quiet the new dryer is compared to the old washing machine.

Nope I said sounds the same to me.

Then it was but they don't match, I said who was the last person to see them besides you?

Answer I don't know, but I think they should match.

I said I think cigars should be free on Tuesdays, whats my chance of getting a free one tomorrow?

Seriously though, what's with matching appliances that are rarely seen by anyone other than the user? Matching kitchen appliances, yeah. Matching toolboxes, oh yeah definitely (lol). Matching plates and saucers, eh. Matching washer/dryer, forget about it.

Though I guess we all have things we're particular about - mine just ain't the dryer. But if I add a new DVD drive or (*gasp*) floppy drive (yep, still want one) they damn well better match the PC case ............ so I guess I see it now.

Matching coolers are fine but the rest of the stuff? Nah.

Happens to the best of us.

The mismatch part is only the first attempt to get you to bite.
Bet the next thing she tells you is the washer is not working right.
Then, she will convince you the new washers are much quieter, more efficient as can handle larger loads and hence save on water and electricity, and lastly, they are much more environment friendly.

Get ready.
