The washing machine that Grandma gave us a few years ago finally died this week. It's over 25 years old, so I'm not surprised, but it's still bad timing. I'd like to get a front-loading model that I can use to wash anything, including our queen size comforter, while using less water and energy. But Dave doesn't want to get something so large and heavy when we might have to move in a few months. He'd rather get a cheaper, lighter model that we could just leave behind with the house, if we wanted to. On the one hand, I don't want to buy a cheap washer on the chance that whoever buys our house will want it, only to get stuck having to take it with us because they have their own. On the other hand, if we left it behind, I don't want to be out $300 that we could have put towards the purchase of a machine that we really want. I guess it doesn’t matter now. No big purchases for a while.
