We got the front-loading Amani washer for $400 at home Depot this weekend. It was one of the cheaper high-rated washers on Consumer Reports, and was selling for half their “average” price. My wife liked it because it’s a high-efficiency design (basically all front-loaders are) and wasn’t reported to have a problem with moldiness around the seal (if you keep the door closed).
We’re keeping our old dryer tho. It works fine, and gas dryers haven’t changed much… it’s still a rolling drum over a burner.
