Energy Efficient Washer and Dryer

While it’s not quite washboards and line-drying, Frigidaire’s new Affinity 8000 Series washers and dryers bring a welcome eco-friendliness to laundering that not only saves energy from the grid, it frees up some of yours too. These Energy Star-rated appliances use 66% less water and 76% less energy per load than your standard washer/dryer, with a TimeWise feature that ensures the dryer’s cycle matches the washer’s—so you spend less time traipsing down to the basement. Standard white and black models are available, or inject a bit of colour into washday with cool Glacier Blue—models are ATF8000F or ATF8000CF, with prices starting at $1,899 at most major appliance retailers.
