We just celebrated Earth Day and it got me to thinking about what my family could do to conserve energy and water. Those are two of the biggest things that we use. My wife and I thought that it might be good to look into energy and water efficient appliances at Best Buy.
These LG products are Energy Star certified and you can find them at Best Buy. I’m particularly interested in getting a new washer and dryer.
Here are some benefits of Energy Star Washers and Dryers
Washers
- 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.
- 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!!
Dryers
- Use 20 percent less energy than conventional models without sacrificing features or performance.
- 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.
I think we’re interested in the LG Twin Wash & Sidekick.
It let’s lets you do two loads at once, so you have more time to do the things you’d rather be doing in life. It’s LG’s ingenious way of helping today’s consumer divide and conquer their daily workload. First helping them divide and conquer their laundry, then enabling them to divide and conquer every other part of their day. The innovative LG TWIN Wash is all about efficiency, helping you get more clothes cleaner in less time. 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. Plus, the LED control panel is located on the door, right at your fingertips.
We could also use an LG SideKick. The Sidekick can pair with almost any LG front load unit. You can wash smaller loads without having to waste water by using the main unit. Discretely styled with a concealed control panel, the LG SideKick not only functions as a secondary washer, but also raises your front-loading washer to a comfortable height and matches the pedestal beneath your LG dryer. It’s a great idea that could change the way we wash clothes.
