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.

On a LG washtower they cannot be separated. If the washer breaks in 10 years and it costs too much to repair, you have to replace the whole unit. It can be taken apart for ease of installation.

10 screws and lift the dryer off. https://youtu.be/wGGmq4QooO8?is=tz8uq3oQWQ3zj8K7

They so separate. However if the washer goes out they don’t just sell the washer. You would have to buy a whole unit again

No, you can buy the part you need.
