Renting a Washer & Dryer

Williamsburg, NY

We may be interested in renting a washer & dryer for our apartment.
Does anyone know a company that does this in the city? About how much does it cost a month?
Thanks for the help!

    Rent A Center is for people who don't understand math.

    after only a few months, the cost of renting a washer / dryer will exceed the cost of actually buying your own appliances. Why not just buy some that are lightly used?

      You're right. I looked into rent-a-center and it's no bargain. Just buying is better. Thanks!

    buy something from craigslist then sell it back on craigs list. It should cost almost nothing (minus carry price).

    If you have good credit, Best Buy has great deals: apply for their credit card, charge your appliances, and you get 6-18 mos (depending on deal) same as cash. This is how we paid for the appliances when we renovated our kitchen: stove, dishwasher, range hood, washer and dryers. Really a great deal!
