its official will be going with replacement

I agree with Egress.

There needs to be demo videos and even appliance stores where you can try them yourself to see how you like it. It's like taking a car for a test drive.

I prefer

to have matching sets since that's what my family has lived with our entire lives as long as I can remember.

Consumer Reports is paywalled because they don't accept advertizing or corporate contributions which allows them to be unbiased and purchase the stuff they test on the open market. Many public library's have it online for free these days if you have a library card.

Matched Sets

I do not understand the desire for matched pairs unless [ just maybe ] the machines are in your living room.

 

My range and DW do not match, My mixer and toaster oven do not match [ even though they sit SXS ]

 

My washers and dryers are in the basement next to the furnace and water heater [ they don't match ]

 

If you think Washers & Dryers must match you might want to think just how much your decision process has been dictated by people trying to sell you things that you probably do not need.

 

My most important requirement is great performance and reliability and repairability, overall most matched sets ever built are a compromise, I prefer not to compromise.

Matching Duets

Hi Pierre, the plastic parts of those do not match well at all, the washers control panel etc is much darker than the dryer.

thats because the panel infront of the detergent dispenser broke a few years back and was replace thats hy its darker and do not say duet

Matching Duets

Pierre, I am talking about all the plastic on the front of the washer.

 

They did not match because Whirlpool could not get the colors to match because the washer was built in Germany and the dryer was built in Ohio.

 

I am just trying to make the point that it is silly to throw away expensive things that still work well.

 

Can you imagine if every time you bought a new car your husband had to get a new matching car because they both sit out in front of your house.

 

It is something to think about in this world as we all confront Climate Change, used appliances generally do not get a 2nd life, at least cars almost always get sold to another owner.

sorry my mistake so i apoligize

I have to ask

What's the big deal? So what if someone wants their laundry pair to match. I bought matching pairs last time, I probably wouldn't have but there was a sale going on and I got the dryer for "free" when buying the washer. Otherwise I may not have bought the dryer. Though I did, at the time, want the steam dryer. I hardly ever use steam. In fact, I hardly ever use the dryer when weather permits.

So I do hereby decree, it is ok to have a matching washer and dryer if you want them.

Pierre, what's the model numbers for both the washer & dryer? I like this dryer because of the side-swing door. I have to have a side-swing door rather than a drop down door. [this post was last edited: 7/2/2021-14:59]

Personally it’s interesting Whirlpool has come back to some degree of sense with bringing back the agitator. Although for me I’d never ever buy anything that has a lid lock, that’s an immediate N.O. Because it generally dictates that the entire machine is full of electronics. HE has got to be the worst tragedy that’s ever struck the appliance industry.

Keep us updated with the reliability of this machine as I’m curious. My family bought a brand new speed Queen TR5 today, I love it but I’m not impressed by the new agitation method that’s in place.
