Renters Stackable Washer and Dryer

[Erica A.]

For a Bay Area rental with a stackable washer and dryer, should I invest in a high-quality model or opt for another one priced at $1,300? Any model ideas?

The current one lasted 8 years and needs to be replaced (as per what our property manager is saying)

I heard front loaders could leak, so I typically only do top loaders for rentals.
