It’s the unplanned expenses that make it difficult to budget for things I was planning to get. I would not wait for your dryer to die especially with winter coming on. Get it installed before they track snow into the house.

DeB, Back in September our washing machine died, trust me it was a tragic event in our house, with 5 people. I was driving back and forth from our house to my Inlaws 63kms each way 3-4 times a week. That was when gas was still very high. We went to pick out a new washer, then we decided that we would replace the dryer as well, even though ours was still working just fine. We purchased a Samsung VRT/Steam front loading set. While it didn’t arrive until just last week, it was certainly worth the wait! We are getting the pedestals next week. We listed our old dryer that had recently been repaired, with new belt drive and belt, on Kijiji, it was listed as “free to someone who truly needed it, but they had to pick it up”. We received a reply from a woman who offered us 50 dollars if we could deliver it as they don’t have a car. We delivered it free of charge, she and her husband are very young with a small toddler, we didn’t have the heart to take their money. The front loaders use less water, and energy which is why I chose them. Over the course of 2 years it will reduce my water consumption rate by 30-40%, good for my wallet and good for the environment!
