I Want These!
I look through the circulars every single week looking at new washers and dryers and I totally have appliance envy.
I know it may sound weird to hear a man say that but I do 80-90% of the laundry in our house so it would be really nice to have a brand spanking new washer and dryer that could make an already daunting task a little more bearable. Don’t get me wrong a new washer and dryer will not make life awesome because I still need to do laundry but it would make me feel better if I was able to be a little more eco-friendly. Our current washer probably uses 40-50 gallons of water per load of laundry and I do about 3-5 loads a week so when you add that up on a weekly, monthly and yearly basis that is a lot of water being used. I have read that new front load washers use about 10 gallons of water per load of laundry so that a quarter of the water that I currently use per load. It’s crazy to think how wasteful I am being but at the same time a new energy efficient washer and dryer would set us back a decent penny.
I am very thankful we have a washing machine and dryer in our home because I know a lot of people don’t so I am thankful for that but I just wish the set we had was better. Not only are we wasting water but also electricity because our current dryer takes about 90 minutes or longer to dry a load of towels. A new tumble dryer would not only save on our electric bill but it might also save me a few dollars in my pocket.
Not sure if and when we will get a new washer or dryer but I do like to go circular shopping every Sunday to see what kind of new ones are available just in case we are able to buy a new set.
I want to see if I am the minority or majority, LOL. Do you have a new washer and dryer or an old pair like us?
