Front loading washer and dryer?

Gas vs Electric? what models do your reccomend for around $1200-$1400 for both washer and dryer?Front loading washer and dryer?
Both washer %26amp; dryer need to be electric for the motors that turn the drums. But beyond that, no heat is needed in washers as they use the water from a separate water heater for hot water. So the washer will only be electric.





For dryers, a lot of people prefer gas as it's more efficient. Electric heating elements take time to warm up, as well as time to cool back down. A lot of waste. Plus, electric heating is more expensive than gas heating. But it also requires careful installation to ensure that there are no dangerous leaks, whereas electric simply plugs into a socket.





Both Maytag and GE front loaders are going to cost you a lot more than $1400 for the pair. So will Kenmore from Sears. You might be able to find Hotpoint (still a GE brand) closer to your price range. Or perhaps Frigidaire, which is not a bad choice.
