recommend your washer/dryer
The previous owners of our house left their washer/dryer for us, and now 2-months in, we're realizing the washer may not be washing too well. Some clothes are coming out dirty still.
We're trying smaller loads to see if that helps, but a new washer may be in our future. Where do I start? Top-loading or front-load? We do a ton of laundry, so I'd love one of those massive ones, but I'm a bit horrified at how expensive they are.
(ETA: we'd only need a washer, but can you get a "deal" if you buy both the washer/dryer together?)

Re: recommend your washer/dryer
Good to know. We'll probably wait a couple months to save $$$ and get a good deal. I was thinking maybe Veterans Day, but Thanksgiving is a better idea.
ooo this is excellent advice! we need to buy a w/d, fridge, dishwasher probably so it would be nice to do a combo during tgiving weekend.
We bought a Frigidaire stainless steel kitchen package (stove, above range microwave, dishwasher and fridge) last Columbus Day for $1300. from Best Buy They were even awesome about delivering them in late November because we had nowhere to put them in the new house (think kitchen was totally non-existent down to the floor). So, def check the circulars for Columbus Day deals.
For W/D, we bought a GE HE washer (a top loader that's like a front loader) and dryer on Black Friday at Home Depot. I think the set came to around $850. I have no complaints.
All of our appliances are very energy efficient, which is nice.
The previous owners of our house included the washer and dryer. My first load of laundry = entire basement flooded. They neglected to tell us that the agitator was no longer connected to the machine. awesome.
Our dryer still works, but we replaced the washer with an LG front loader in March 2009 Not sure of the model - but it is awesome and holds so much stuff. We got a great deal at Home Depot and a discount if we ordered the pedestal. Best decision ever.
