It may be back to school season, but books and pencils aren’t the only things on the mind. Some people are returning from their summer vacations, some need a vacation, and others are getting ready to move before the fall season hits. If you’re a couple moving into a new place or simply want to update your current living space, new laundry appliances are a sure-fire way to add a spark to your home. The first appliance you’ll want to take advantage of is a new washing machine.
Every washer serves a purpose—you might want a practical machine to wash your kids baseball uniform, a high-tech machine for a busy, on the go lifestyle, or a combination of both. It all depends on your living situation. If you’re a new couple, an old couple, or in a long-term relationship with your cat, you already have enough to argue about—make this decision easy and let Howard’s guide you through the best laundry appliances for couples.
Washers for an Active Lifestyle
If you’re a trendy, younger couple, you’ll want to find an appliance with the capabilities to match your lifestyle. This Electrolux washer has the features to handle the needs of those who are constantly on the go. If you live an active life, the Activewear cycle takes care of your athletic items so the fabrics don’t fade or stretch—keeping your clothes vibrant for longer.
Technology can help or hurt a relationship depending how you use it. Paying more attention to the TV instead of your significant other: Bad. LuxCare with smart load sensing and superior temperature control: Good. If you’re constantly throwing in all your laundry as you’re rushing out the door, the 15-minute flash wash quickly deep-cleans items so you can get on with your day.
If you and your significant other live in an upstairs unit and worry about noise—Perfect Balance technology balances the wash cycle for a smooth, quiet operation. If you aren’t the most experienced home-cooks and stains are a regularity, the Adaptive DispenserTM is a separate detergent delivery drawer for washer PODS that allow for enhanced cleaning without the mess of detergent sticking to your machine. Kick those mustard stains to the curb!
Washers That Work Smart & Hard
Everyone loves the chance to get dressed up and sip on a bit of the bubbly—now you can bring that elegance and class to your laundry appliances with a Samsung washer in a champagne finish.
No more arguing over who's the smarter one in the relationship—you both are when you can conveniently control your laundry from your phone with Smart Care. This feature helps control your washer and dryer to provide routine check-ups and solutions if something isn’t running quite right with your appliance.
If you’re used to making messes more than cleaning messes, Self Clean+ will be your savior—helping to reduce 99% of the bacteria that forms around the wash drum and sends a notification every 40 washes letting you know when it’s time to give your appliance a clean.
If you enjoy cooking meals together as a couple, you’re destined for stained shirts, aprons, and tablecloths. Luckily, the Steam Wash feature allows you to gently treat stains so every item in your wash is properly saturated for a deeper clean.
Washing your clothes is important, but your laundry isn’t complete until all your fabrics are properly dried. With an LG dryer, you have a larger capacity bin to tackle more laundry in fewer loads. This gives you more time to talk about your day. If you’re stuck in traffic, at work, or too busy watching the game, the Wrinkle Care option continues to tumble your laundry to prevent wrinkles from setting in your clothes when you forget to switch the loads.
If you like to live a connected lifestyle, the LG SmartThinQ app allows you to choose your cycle, start or stop the wash, and receive notification about your wash cycle all from your phone wherever you are. If you can’t stop holding each other’s hands everywhere you go, the app works with Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa for hands-free voice commands.
When life gets busy, there’s nothing more frustrating than checking your clothes and finding that they’re still damp. Sensor Dry measures the moisture levels in the bin to adjust the drying time according to each cycle. Your appliance can’t help you work out your personal problems, but it can help you work out any problems with your dryer.
If you frequently wash bulky items like your comforter, pillow, or even shoes, place these items on the dryer rack inside the wash drum to keep your clothes in place throughout the cycle. For those who are trying to save space or save the back-ache, the laundry pedestals raise your dryer for seamless loading and unloading, and provides extra storage space for all laundry supplies.
There’s no better feeling than warm laundry fresh out of the dryer, but the static feeling on your fabrics doesn’t provide the comfort you need from your clothes. The Static Reducing option sprays combines a clean mist with tumbling after your clothes are dry to minimize the static.
We all know the only thing worse than doing your laundry is the one loose sock that seems to come to life and walk away or get left behind in the wash. What you truly need to search for is an interior light inside the bin to prevent any article of clothing from disappearing—making it so you no longer have to borrow each other’s socks.
Your relationship is important, but so are your appliances. If you need the right products to match your life, Howard’s Appliance has all kinds of appliances to fit your needs. Finding the right appliance doesn’t have to be a wash. Stop in today and we’ll find help you find exactly what you need.
