Try consumer reports for a lead. They usually have a household appliance edition. Not sure when it comes out but you can try that ancient thing called a library to see if they have a copy.

Buy a whirlpool brand. they make most of the other brands anyway.

May as well get the best one they manufacture

I bought the largest Kenmore HEII front loading washer/dryer they sell.

Great combo ,even better when stacked.

Go to Sam's or Costco. There will be less markup there because its wholesale.

Ditto on the Whirlpool recommendation from Dennis. Just remember to wipe down the washer door seal after you use it and keep the door slightly ajar to keep the washer from developing a moldy smell.

mark up on white goods (washer dryer, refer, ect) is pretty low, normally abou 15%-22% on the middle of the line stuff and can get as high as 30% to maybe 35% on the highend stuff. the low end stuff can have little or no profit at all (lost leaders)

Whirpool also makes the Roper Brand.

They are a bit plain in design and dont have 79 settings for the washer or dryer but they get the job done.

I bought a set to replace my old stuff and we have been very happy with them.
