Well now that we're married we're too uppity to go to the laundromat anymore. We are in the market for a new, energy-efficient washer and dryer. I figure we may spend more now but will save or at least break even in the long run. And the newer, energy efficient models seem to be quieter and easier on your clothes to boot.

Anyone have any opinions as to what is good? We looked at a Bosch set that appeared nice but it was $2K. I might spend that if I though it was worth it, but that's a lot of money! Most of the local salesmen seem to think Whirlpool is very reliable, and the Duet Sport washer and dryer seem pretty good for $1,500.

Many of these newer machines have lots of bells and whistles, though, and I'm concerned about how long they will last and repair costs.

Any thoughts?
