According to https://portablepowerguides.com/average-cost-of-used-washer-and-dryer/
A used washer and dryer’s average cost ranges from 465- 900 dollars, depending on its brand and time of usage (which is up to 5 years); quality and its life span are also considered when purchasing one.
Some used washer and dryer are normally expensive than others because of the reputation their brands have built over the years, their ability to withstand daily use- that is, their efficiency and how liable, the products provided by their brands are.
In case, you are wondering on how to get a used washer and dryer; the cost of a used washer and dryer is determined by these factors:
The cost of a new washer and dryer of the brand you are considering
The average lifespan of the model of the brand you are considering
The duration of usage of the used one you are considering- that is, the age of the machine
As a new buyer, these factors should be put into consideration, before driving to a used appliance store / or your choice location in the USA, to actually purchase one.
An example is put into consideration as described here as follows:
Take for instance that, the cost of a new washer and dryer is $1000, the average lifespan of the washer and dryer is 25 years old and the age of the used machine is 10 years.
Using this formula,
Cost of a brand –new washer and dryer divided by the average lifespan of washer and dryers, and the result is multiplied by the remaining years of the machine
Answer-
1000/25 = 40x (25-10) = 40*15= $ 600
Also the used washer and dryer has to be in a good condition before you can use this formula, the more damaged the used machine, the cheaper it is; this is because the cost of repair is factored into the bill.
