Parents bought another foreclosed home to put into rental. After 4 months of work fixing all the broken stuff, they made the mistake of throwing away some old looking (but fixable) washer and dryer, and offer me a new set of those fancy front loading / beautiful set and take my old, reliable ones.
I declined their offer because I would rather keep an old reliable ones than worrying about fancy electronics. So now I'm in the market for a set of durable and not too old units.
The washer must be top loading, because you cannot guarantee the previous owner or the tenant would use HE detergent. The dryer must be electric, because it is more reliable and easier to fix, and less chance of dryer duct clogging related fire. Anything newer than 15 years old would be fine, and I think I should be looking at $200-$350 for the set. Commercial or industrial grade for home use would be ideal, but consumer grade with good track record would also be fine.
Any recommendation (for or against)?
