IN the market for a
new washer or dryer?

Look no further than our
own local appliance suppliers
here on the North Shore.
They are currently offering
some new washer and dryer
combinations that are surpris-
ingly economical.

The trick to picking the

home
idens

right one rests on three fac-
tors: performance, durability
and price.

Experts agree that your

ers now have automatic tem-
perature controls, as opposed
to the older machines that
relied upon your home's water

heater settings.

When shopping for your
washer/dryer combination,
you may want to keep a few
things in mind.

As a general rule, the fanci-
er the temperature settings

washer/dryer combination
should fast 10 to 15 years.

It’s believed that how well
a washing machine cleans your
clothes depends on how accu-
rately it controls the wash
temperatures. The latest wash-

to compare various models by
warranties, energy efficiency
and noise control. Your app'.-

As far as the latest trend
goes, front-loading is in.

Miele and Bosch both offer
two new sleek designs for
tront-loading washers.

The Miele front-loading
washer’s capacity is six kilo-
grams, which is about twice
the size of the average laundry
load.

The Novotronic Control
System carefully controls all
aspects of washing time, tem-
perature and water level.

The bottom line here is

much less water than
the conventional
washer and this means
savings for you on
your utility bill.

These models,
however, are about
double the cost of a
conventional wash-

A new washer-dryer combo like the above model! offered by

for your clothes.
Miele and available at Y. Franks should last 10 to 15 years.

Stacked

washer/dryers are also
selling fast. This design is per-
fect for small spaces. The
downfall of some of them is
that the washing compart-
ments are quite small.
Whether you choose front-
loading, top-loading or an all-

in-one design, it’s a good idea
to educate yourself on the var-
ious models in order to
choose the design that works
best for you.
