Washer & Dryer recommendations

I’m also in the market and this is what was recommended to me - anyone have experience with these? They’re GE and as I understand, GE is newer to the laundry game but they perform well in other appliance categories:
GFW850SPNRS
GFD85ESMNRS

These are a bit pricier than $1700 but there’s also this set that’s a bit cheaper GFW650SPNSN and GFD65ESMNSN

7 years seems premature to write off a washer and dryer combo

Was it a Samsung?

The LG WM3500 is the highest rated front loader on Consumers Reports.. I bought a model up, the wm3700 which is almost identical but steam which we'll never use.. They're very good washers and get good ratings for reliability

Time for me to change my 7 years old washer/dryer.
Much appreciated if you have any specific recommendations under $1700 if possible.
Attached are LG models that i looked at in Home depot and reviews look good but need your recommendation if i should go with these or any other model please.

Get a top load, avoid the stink.

Bought a LG top load few months back, with the matching dryer. So far so good, happy with it. LG WT7300CW, one if the best reviewed top load washer un Consumers Report

The GE’s I mentioned claim to have resolved this issue by creating a venting feature on the washer door. These are pretty new so I’ve yet to see real life experience but all the stuff I see online seems very positive.

When we moved into our new home, the previous owner had:

- Frigidaire 3.0 cu ft Washer (FWS933FS0)
- Hotpoint 6.0 cu ft Dryer (HTMX100ED0WW)

We swapped out the washer and purchased a Samsung 5.2 cu ft Top Load Washer (WA45H7000AW/A2) ... I sold the old washer on Kijiji for $100.

Then I put in a laundry umbrella in the backyard ... summer hang out the laundry.

The around the furnace/water tank area in the basement ... put up a couple of rods ... winter hang out the laundry in the basement ... dries in a couple days.

Still have the original useless dryer.

One of these days (whenever that occurs) will then go get another dryer to replace this piece of rubbish.

Haven't used a dryer in over a decade and really don't intend to.

Laundry dries quickly outdoors in the summer. Laundry dries in a couple days in the basement in the winter.

No need to waste money on a dryer.
