Most people who live in an apartment may not have a washer and dryer in their building. If you’ve been making the trek to a laundromat, you may be wondering about getting your own appliances installed. Here’s more information about the two to help you decide if lugging your clothes around town is the best way to do laundry.

Laundromat

Although going to a laundromat may seem more affordable than buying appliances, the small costs of running several loads can accumulate quickly. Even at about $3.00 a cycle, you may end up spending a great deal of money if you wash multiple loads during a trip. You’ll spend even more if you need to pay for transportation to the laundromat.

Even though you may run laundry only once every one to two weeks, it can be inconvenient to bring everything to a laundromat. You may have to lug several full bags of clothes across the street, pack them into the car, or bring them on the bus.

In-Unit Washer & Dryer

While purchasing your own appliances is an investment, you can save money by opting for an energy-efficient set to keep the utility bills low. If you don’t have the space to put the washer and dryer side by side, look for models you can stack to save precious floor space in the apartment.

Having a washer and dryer in your home means you can run laundry at any time—you won’t need to pack everything and wait for an available unit. While the clothes run, you can do other household chores, watch TV, or leave the apartment.
