Is Mismatching Okay? Or Should I Purchase the Washer Dryer Pair?

Should You Have a Mismatched Washer and Dryer?

Your old washer has finally decided to call it quits. As you look for a new appliance, you wonder if it’s time to replace the dryer as well. Having a matching washer and dryer is not a necessity. 

At Bloor Dovercourt Appliances we have a wide selection of washers, dryers, washer dryer pairs, for both condo, coin operated and home use.  Whether you want to buy just one appliance, or the washer dryer pair, it's really a matter of personal preference and totally up to you! 

However, here are some factors to consider.

Pricing

Many consider getting a mismatched washer and dryer in order to save money. This isn’t always the case. Retail stores will typically offer a larger discount if you buy a washer and dryer as a bundle. However, if your remaining appliance will last for several years or if you’ve found one appliance that’s significantly cheaper, the discount may not pay off.

Load Capacity

If you buy a mismatched set, make sure the washer and dryer can handle the same amount of clothes. Having a dryer with only half the load capacity will back up your laundry process.

Size

You will want a washer and dryer that are about the same size, especially if you stack your appliances. Toronto city living means a lot of people need their appliances to fit comfortably in their condo. Having mismatched appliances for the condo may not be ideal as having a washer and dryer of different heights can make loading and unloading awkward.

Many people prefer a matching washer and dryer simply for the aesthetic, but you can be unique and purchase different pieces. Make the choice that’s right for you.
