Professional delivery and installation is available for every product we sell. We would be happy to coordinate delivery and installation for you.

Extended warranties are usually very inexpensive and can save you thousands in the future. Some can even cover extra costs that result, such as cost of food that spoils when your fridge dies. It's simple and inexpensive to purchase extended warranties and one of the smartest ways to protect your investment.

Appliances can be large, heavy and expensive. You probably don't have the special tools or expertise needed to fix them in a crisis. If you can spare a few thousand dollars without batting an eyelash for new appliances should they break tomorrow, don't buy a warranty. But if you're like most of us, protect yourself by purchasing inexpensive extended warranties when you buy a new product and save yourself big money in the long run.

Shorted out on third load

Teg1984 7/14/2019

We just bought this dryer a month ago as part of a set because our washer died after years of use. Hooked up the washer right away and have loved it. Just hooked up the dryer today and it died on the second load. Troubleshooting found the dryer to of condensed moisture on the inside and shorted out the controls. Very disappointed as this was a very expensive unit that is now useless after two loads.

Amazing

NickiW 6/25/2019

I could not be happier with my new whirlpool washer and dryer. They are so quiet. The steam feature on the dryer is great for quick touch ups if you don't have time to iron. These are extra large capacity. You can fit almost 3 normal loads into one. I had my Whirlpool Duet set for over 15 years and it was still running like it was brand new. I hope these last as long.
