My washer went out last November and I bought an LG washer and dryer
with the stacking kit and love them.

Any idea what the cu ft capacity is? Home Depot has the 3.42' washer
for $799 and 7.0' dryer for $649. They also have the 3.72' washer for
$999 and 7.3' dryer for $799. Does that amount of extra space seem
meaningful?

If all else is equal, buy the LARGEST capacity you can afford. Don't buy a
crappy set just because it's bigger, but if you have a choice that is equal
in quality, buy the larger ones.

We bought a set at Lowes that is appropriately sized for a KING sized
comforter, according to both Lowe's literature (in the store) and the
manufacturer of the appliances. It does an OK job of washing our QUEEN
sized comforter. The QUEEN sized comforter is really squashed in the
(supposedly KING size) washer. I wouldn't attempt to wash a KING sized
comforter!!! I also believe that the queen sized comforter would probably
get cleaner if the washer (and dryer) were a bit larger. But we bought the
KING size appliances, so sheesh . . . what's larger than that? -Dave
