One of our favorite places to shop for a washer and dryer is The Home Depot. Why? Well, not only does the home improvement giant offer a wide selection (that you can also peruse in person), but you can also always expect to find great deals with The Home Depot constantly offering deals on major appliances. To top it off, they offer free home delivery and installation, which can’t be beat.
Similarly, Lowe’s is another home improvement store where you can expect to find a wide selection, in-store shopping opportunities, and great deals on all of the top washers and dryers around. We love that they also offer free home delivery, installation, and price-matching.
Best Buy might be the place you think of when it comes to TVs and computers, but if a washer and dryer is on your to-buy list, you should also be checking them out. The electronics superstore is home to robust selection of washers and dryers, with some brands, like Insignia, exclusive to the retailer.
One of the most underrated places to shop for washers and dryers is Wayfair. Yes, the retailer may be better known for its furniture and home decor, but its major appliances selection is a can’t-miss. Shop all of your favorite major brands (plus smaller up-and-coming brands) and save big while you’re at it — they’re almost always running a deal on their appliances!
If you’re looking to go the specialty route, AJ Madison can’t be beat. Known as the “appliance authority,” the retailer is a great option for those looking for a mix of top brands as well as harder-to-find, niche ones (like the beloved Speed Queen!). You can also expect to find some great deals — especially during major sales events!
The online mega-retailer has it all — books, fashion, cookware, and, yes, even major appliances. While the selection isn’t as broad as you would find at The Home Depot or Lowe’s, there’s still a pretty solid collection of machines from brands big and small on Amazon — especially for those looking for small-space-friendly options! And with a Prime account and Free Prime delivery, your pieces will arrive at your doorstep in record time.
You aren’t that surprised to see Walmart on this list, are you? The home mega-store carries an array of washers and dryers — big and small, from a host of brands — that makes checking out their selection a must. The options are definitely the most limited when compared to other retailers on this list, but are still worth a look, given the rock-bottom prices Walmart is known for.
