On April 22nd, we will be celebrating Earth Day. Celebrating Earth Day can be as simple as turning off lights, recycling, planting a tree or switching out your appliances for energy efficient ones. Well if your in the market for new appliances, Best Buy has the latest in energy and water efficient appliances available.
For my family the appliance that probably gets used the most honestly is our washer and dryer. We have been eating out a lot lately so I haven’t cooked much, but laundry is something I do pretty much daily. We replaced our very old non-energy efficient washer and dryer two years ago and it was one of the best decisions we made.
Why shop for ENERGY STAR certified Washers and Dryers?
- Use less energy. On average, a new ENERGY STAR certified clothes washer uses 280 KWh of electricity and can save you $40 a year on your utility bills compared to a standard model. Dryers use 20 percent less energy than conventional models without sacrificing features or performance.
- Use less water. A full-sized ENERGY STAR certified clothes washer uses 13 gallons of water per load, compared to the 23 gallons used by a standard machine. That’s a savings of more than 3,000 gallons of water, per year!
- Washers built before 2003 are significantly less efficient than newer models. If you have a standard clothes washer that is over 10 years old, it’s costing you, on average $180 a year.
- Sensor Drying. Use sensor drying, not timed drying. ENERGY STAR dryer models incorporate advanced moisture sensors to help you reduce your dryer’s energy use. This feature ensures that your dryer will automatically shut off when clothes are dry.
- Low heat setting. Longer drying cycles on a low heat setting use less energy.
- Consider gas. Eighty percent of dryers in the US are electric. If you have the option, consider using a gas dryer to save money and reduce your environmental impact.
Best Buy has an amazing selection of Energy Certified Washers and Dryers available, it is where we actually purchased our last set. One of the newest pairs available is the LG Twin Washer and SideKick.
Some Features:

With a combined capacity of up to 6.6 cu. ft., the TWIN Wash boasts an ergonomically elevated and angled door that makes loading and unloading easier.
