Looking for stackable washer and dryer.
Anyone recently have to purchase?
Recommendations on where and what to buy?

We currently have a Kenmore HE4t front loading set. Previously we had a Whirlpool Duet front loading set. I do not like the Kenmore, nearly as much as the Whirlpool. The Kenmore spins quite a bit faster and has a few more bells and whistles - IMO, the increased RPMs (or whatever) isn't really warranted. It seems to unbalance itself much quicker than the Whirlpool set did. Not sure if you could stack the Kenmores - have to look that up.
Sears does not manufacture any of their products, instead they are all made by the other leading manufacturers, often with added features. They are then rebranded with the Kenmore (or other) brand name.
We originally bought our Whirlpool set as a floor model deal at The Brick but I don't know that I'd recommend The Brick as anywhere to buy stuff. The Kenmore set we bought through Sears. No real downside to that, except they can be a bit annoying about phoning you with 'deals' later on down the road. IIRC, the Whirlpool set could be stacked.
If someone offered me a straight trade of their Whirlpool set with my Kenmore set, right this moment, I'd take it in a heartbeat.
I'm trying to remember the make I've heard that people have a lot of trouble with - LG, maybe?
