Washer & Dryer

Ok, so my current washer and dryer was given to us by my husband's parents after his grandma's passed away, it was her set. It's an older set and has that thing in the middle, so I can't put much it in and it doesn't wash my clothes to good. Sometimes it seems like I haven't even washed them. And the dryer, it takes drying them 2 or more times to dry them. I really want I new set. So, what do you ladies have? What brand is good now days?
