I’m about to purchase a new washer and dryer. Costco has the set for $1579 (with the tax added in). LG has the same set for $1329 (with the tax added in). Both include free install and haul away. And an extra year of warranty from LG and Costco is an extra 2 years. I’m torn. I think I’ll have better service with Costco if something goes wrong and a longer return period if the set is a dud. But $250 is a big difference for me and my family. Anyone have experience buying direct from LG or Costco for a washer or dryer?

So as timing would have it the current dryer (Samsung - and yes never again) has developed an issue that will require 500-650$ in repairs. I jumped onto Costco but it seems my dryer wasn't aware of the timing of these sales and most of the items I want our out of stock.

I have researched and decided on LG. My wife wants another front loading machine.

I was eyeing the Model WM6500HWA | DLGX6501W (with pedestals). It's out of stock The price would have been 2300 (minus the 300$ bonus for spending over 1999) so 2k before tax.

I could go for the 5500 but my wife seems to want the extra capacity.

So my question - is this pricing the best of the year or will there be similar (plus minus $100 is not an issue). Just wanting to see if I should wait for the one she wants or just get the 5500.

Is anyone using any of these washer/dryer? Any thoughts or recommendations of any others you are using? I am looking for a top load washer, and thinking of getting electric dryer instead of gas. Do they work the same?
