Buying a laundry pair for your home can come with perks like washer and dryer features that are designed to work together, matching aesthetics and sometimes a lower out-of-pocket expense. Use this guide to discover the best Maytag® washer and dryer pair for your family as you compare front and top load sets, then learn more about installing a set in your home.
WHAT TO CONSIDER WHEN BUYING A WASHER DRYER SET
Before settling on a washer and dryer set, jot down a few considerations to keep in mind as you search for the right pair. Consider the size of your laundry space, the washer and dryer capacity that best suits your family’s routines and which machine orientation (top load or front load) you prefer. If you don't need all the bells and whistles, or the extra cycles, but instead prefer a simple-to-use, heavy-duty machine that's built to last, a commercial-grade residential laundry pair may be what you’re looking for. Maytag® commercial-grade residential sets are ready to deliver the powerful strength needed to tackle large loads with ease.
Decide whether you’ll need a stackable laundry pair (front load only) or if you can accommodate a side-by-side pair, and consider any unique features like specialty cycles or smart capability.
You may also consider what type of warranty you want to find the best washer and dryer pair for you. For instance, Maytag brand offers a 10-year limited parts warranty1 on select models.
