N scored these via freecycle. Interestingly, they weren’t actually free.
Still, $150 for a washer and dryer (even used) is a pretty fantastic deal — though the kind that makes one wonder if the purchased items will actually work when hooked up.
Borrowed her mom’s truck (as well, her mom and step-dad came along to help move them) and drove down to Warsaw for ‘em. The lady selling them was a landlord looking to get out of the landlording biz. Probably a good thing, because she didn’t realize that one should keep the heat going in a house when the temperature is below freezing!
The hoses and hookups had ice in them, which gave me pause. Happily, when we got everything home and thawed, everything works perfectly. The washer is okay. The dryer is fantastic! This is the first dryer I’ve ever used that actually got my clothing dry!
Hooray!
Seriously, you don’t know how much of a stressor it was to have to schlep all our clothing to the laundromat. We’d let things pile up for three weeks, then there’d be one, massive load to wash. Now it’s easy like Sunday morning!

Plus it’s a lot easier to give the cats a bath since there’s a lid to keep them from jumping out and scratching.
(Don’t put cats in washing machine.)
