From the Basement to the Living Room


Many Homeowners are moving their laundry room closer to the source of the dirty clothes and linens, according the the National Association of Home Builders. Washer and Dryers are beginning to be moved to the family rooms and in some homes with a second set to the Master or Guest room. If you are one that is wanting to carry on this trend there are a few things you needs to consider. 

In the Basement/Utility room you don't every really think of things like "What if my washer leaks?" because usually it is placed on a cement floor. You will want to look and see if the washer you have has drip pans and electronic shutoff valves that automatically stop the flow of water when they sense a leak. You will also want to find top-rated washers and dryers to minimize vibrations. You also want to keep the following in mind: Stackability, Cycle Noise, Cycle Time, End-of Cycle Signal.

Blomberg has a perfect washer and dryer!
 "we love our washing machine. Unlike some reviews we read before, which describe the washing machine as very loud, we found it extremely quiet. If you install the machine yourself, or have a plumber installing it, make sure you remove the four big transportation bolts in the back of the machine. If you don't do that, your washing machine will sound like an airplane and vibrate like an earthquake"

"I love using it. It does not move, really silent, washes great and spins up o 1200 rpm. Excellent with one word"
"Delivered on Time
Great product.
Simple yet effective.
Has a cool feature where the drum changes directions during the drying cycle, so clothes wrinkle less and sheets aren't tied in knots."

"quiet efficient good looking dryer, would buy again"
