Looking for a budget washer and dryer can be very difficult if you are not willing to look at a long list of models and their features. Luckily, the Frigidaire GLEH1642F has proven itself so that you do not have to do that. The Frigidaire is a stacked unit, which means that it takes up less space in your home. It has the benefit of low water usage, especially when compared to traditional top loading units. Its controls are extremely easy to reach, and can be changed to whatever setting is necessary.
One of the best features in the Frigidaire is that it has a huge capacity. You will not have any problem fitting a large load into this washer with its 3.1 cubic foot size. The dryer is even larger, with 5.7 cubic feet. This unit is powered by electricity, which means that you can save yourself from extremely expensive natural gas bills. Many people who have the Frigidaire have said that they believe that it takes too long to dry their clothes. Most of their complaints are unfounded, due to the fact that the Frigidaire is usually plugged into an outlet that is less voltage than is recommended in the owners manual.
However, another interesting feature to note about the Frigidaire is that it has a moisture sensor, in order to determine when your clothes are dry and to prevent you from paying for wasted drying. This sort of a feature in a washer and dryer combo that costs around $850 is amazing! There really are not that many cons to the Frigidaire, other than the fact that some find that it dries slower, and that it has one heck of a loud end of cycle buzzer. The Frigidaire does require the typical venting system, as well as connections to a source of water and electricity. This means that you will need to put it in an area that is equipped like a traditional laundry room.
With its huge load size, and energy saving ability, the Frigidaire is the best budget washer dryer combo that you can find. The fact that it slows in drying when operating at a lower power level is normal, and upgrading the voltage of your power outlet will fix this problem in a snap. The Frigidaire costs $850 and is available at local home improvement stores as well as online.
