Summary
- During the initial hour of research, the focus was placed on determining the availability of information. The search revealed that there are large amounts of publicly available information for this subject.
- Next, we focused on the most recent (2021) publications in order to ensure that the lists were current.
- We also identified multiple sources to ensure that we capture whatever opinion/reviews available in the public domain.
- We propose to continue the research by providing a comparative analysis of the four (4) best-reviewed washer/dryer sets, including their reviews from multiple (at least 3) review sources.
- The four washer/dryer sets that will be reviewed will be selected by comparing the various lists identified and selecting products that appeared across multiple lists. Our selection will feature at least three (3) different washer/dryer set brands (for the purpose of variety).
