Washer and dryer sets don’t have to be white! Manufacturers of washers and dryers are catching on to the fact that some customers prefer a bit of color, and diversifying their ranges. Red is a color that can add quirkiness and character to your laundry room or kitchen. The multi-color trend in appliances is one that has long been popular in Europe. For instance, manufacturers of stoves and ovens produce them in bright colors such as red, blue and green. Unsurprisingly, customers are enjoying expressing a similar sense of fun in purchasing their washers and dryers in America. Here are five red washer and dryer sets to liven up your home.
Maytag sells one consumer washer in the color Crimson. The Maytag Performance Series Front Load Washer has a capacity of 4 cubic feet and is sold for $1199. Among its features is a sanitation cycle that eliminates 99.9% of household bacteria. Of course the temperature is high for this cycle (157 degrees F) so it will cost you more to run than the cooler cycles. The accompanying Maytag Performance Series Front Load Dryer is also available in Crimson. The capacity is 7.2 cubic feet and the price is $1,199.00, $100 more than the white version. A gas version is sold for $1269.
