I read somewhere that the average mother spends at least 5 months of her life doing laundry. Yikes! One thing I know for sure is that whether you have a large family or are a single person, you can not escape it. It also doesn’t matter what season of the year it is, we like to work and play hard and that creates loads and loads of laundry. Thankfully, Best Buy is there to help us select ENERGY STAR® washers and dryers that are better for our clothes, better for our families, and better for the environment.
Why ENERGY STAR® ?
- Money Saved ~ ENERGY STAR certified clothes washers and dryers save energy, which means that you will save on energy bills. We can all use some help in that area.Save $490 over the lifetime of an ENERGY STAR certified clothes washer and even more with an ENERGY STAR washer/dryer pair.
- Better for the environment ~ Protecting the environment is so important and ENERGY STAR certified washers and dryers help protect the climate, which means that your kids and the planet will benefit for years to come. ENERGY STAR certified clothes washers and dryers are 25% and 20% more efficient, respectively, than standard models.
- Safer for your clothes ~ ENERGY STAR clothes washers use a variety of sophisticated cleaning methods that are gentler on your clothes, while ENERGY STAR clothes dryers use less heat and sensor drying which reduces wear and tear on clothes from over drying. Clothes washers and dryers that have earned the ENERGY STAR deliver superior efficiency and performance by incorporating advanced features.
Here is a little more information to help you figure out what the best solution is for your family when it comes to laundry:
ENERGY STAR Washers
- Front or Top-Load – ENERGY STAR washers are available in either front-load or redesigned top-load configurations.
- There is no central agitator – Front-load machines tumble clothes through a small amount of water instead of rubbing clothes against an agitator, while advanced top-load machines lift and tumble clothes through a reduced stream of water. Both designs dramatically reduce the amount of hot water and energy used in the wash cycle.
- High spin speeds – Efficient motors spin clothes two to three times faster to extract more water. Less moisture in the clothes means less time in the dryer and less energy spent drying clothes.
- Your clothes have a longer life – Sophisticated wash systems use a variety of methods to lift and tumble your laundry, lengthening the life of often-washed items. Additionally, because they are so gentle, many models can safely clean silk, wool and other hand-washables.
ENERGY STAR Dryers
- Low Heat Setting – Longer drying cycles on a low heat setting use less energy. When you purchase an ENERGY STAR certified clothes dryer, look for the cycle that uses the least amount of energy, sometimes known as the “energy-saving” selection.
- Steam Cycles– Many ENERGY STAR dryers also include convenient features, such as a steam cycle that can help save time on ironing clothes by preventing wrinkles.
The bottom line is that when you purchase an ENERGY STAR washer and dryer you can feel great about your purchase because you are saving money, protecting the planet and giving your clothes a chance to hang around longer in your closet.

October 16, 2017 at 4:01 amThat sounds like a nice laundry duo. I have a front loading set and love it. It’s so much easier to load from the front and I am all for anything that makes laundry easier.

October 16, 2017 at 8:55 amThose are so pretty. Can I say that about washers and dryers?? Our machines are almost 10 years old and not nearly as sleek looking. I want a new set!!
Brandy says
October 16, 2017 at 9:12 amI bet this will save a ton off the electric bill, I love that there are options that save you on energy costs. That’s probably the easiest way to curb bills overall, upgrading appliances. Will have to see what else Best Buy has to offer me some overall savings.

October 16, 2017 at 9:23 amMy dream is to get the biggest capacity washing machine they make and have two dryers. That is what I want in my next laundry room, hopefully I can cut my time down to three and a half months.

October 16, 2017 at 9:15 pmThanks for the product introduction and review. We recently got a new washer and dryer but I will definitely recommend Energy Star to my daughter and son in law. They are moving to a bigger house (with a dedicated laundry area) and they are excited to have their own washer and dryer instead of using the facility in their old apartment building.

October 17, 2017 at 2:43 pmI love my front loader! I want to stack my washer & dryer someday but it involves tearing down shelves and that’s a bit much for me right now!
Alicia Taylor says
October 17, 2017 at 2:56 pmOur washer and dryer is almost 17 years old. They are old HE machines and ready for a replacement. I’ll be sure to check Best Buy. They hadn’t even crossed my mind for those – but that is where we got our new freezer.
