I got a new-to-me washer on Craigslist last year for $150.
Our dryer died in the flood....we need a new one.....have been hanging clothes for a couple of weeks now, tired of everything being crunchy.
Trying to decide whether to buy used again or new.
DH would prefer new due to delivery and trust factor, but I don't really trust most companies to stand behind their products long nowdays anyhow, appliance manufacturers are not like they used to be....
So my opinion is ...why not take a chance on a newish used one, save half the price but you have to haul yourself most likely. And of course you may end up with a dud, but something like a dryer seems harder to break than some other things?
