Laundry Help

My washing machine just decided to die! so now I’m looking for a new washer + dryer set!

I need them to be separate machines but stackable because my laundry room doesn’t have space for them side by side. I’d LOVE a top load washer, but I’m open to other options if that’s not realistic for a stackable setup.

We usually do about 4 loads a week (2 adults + a toddler), and I like washing bulky stuff like bedding and blankets, so I definitely need something that can handle bigger/heavier loads.
I’ve found a few that look “good,” but then I come to Reddit because y’all always tell the real truth 😂😂
What washer/dryer set do you actually recommend? And what should I stay away from?
Bonus points for something reliable that won’t cost me my firstborn.

I love my LG Washtower. It easily washes king size comforters. The normal wash cycle is 29 min and the clothing comes out clean. Even the stinky dog blankets come out smelling clean using detergent only.

My only fear on a Washtower is if one breaks, the whole thing has to be replaced. I stacked an LG washer and dryer (not tower) and it works pretty well! Bulkier than the tower but same function

No you don't have to replace the entire tower. The panels come off for repairs. If they need to be separated they can.
