Whirlpool Duet - Washer Dryer Review

I never liked doing laundry until we purchased the Whirlpool Duet washer and dryer.  I never liked having to dig way down in my old over-sized laundry tub to scrape the last sock up.

When I first purchased the Duet, the hubby had a cow.  "You spent $1,700 bucks on a washer and dryer?" he exclaimed.

It was worth it.  We live in an area where the water bill leads to a big sigh each month that the bill is opened.  The Duet uses 30 percent less water than the top-loaders and the savings was immediately apparent in our monthly bill.  A few short months after grumbling about the purchase, the hubby turned into a fan of the Duet.

The controls are easy to use.  The detergent compartment can be difficult to add bleach to, as the bleach compartment is set back.  However, the entire compartment can be removed for quarterly cleaning--something I couldn't do with my old washer.

The wash time is deceiving though-- as it will show two minutes left in the spin cycle but continue to spin longer. 

Recently, we remodeled our laundry room and stacked the dryer on top of the washer, using a bracket set that we purchased from Best Buy. 

My in-laws and several other relatives have purchased the Duet and all them are happy with it.
