il me semble au contraire qu'étant donné la source, il s'agit d'une étude de marché pour les particuliers achetant 2 manchines, et non pas un équipement professionnel pour salons lavoirs (on n'appelle pas ça une "laudry suite" dans ce cas là). cf cet exemple :

Hedge my bets by buying laundry suite from Costco?
smiles33November 15, 2013

We're in the market to replace our current front loader Frigidaire washer/dryer from 2002. Still working great but we're going to move the set to our vacation home.

I know I want another FL but this time I want pedestals so I don't have to squat down to load/unload laundry. Yet every brand seems to have serious complaints.

I'm thinking of limiting myself to whatever Costco carries since they have such a fantastic return policy. I know I can't expect my washer/dryer to last 10+ years (at least given what I've been reading here and elsewhere), but I certainly want it to last more than 1-2 years.

Costco currently has Maytag Maxima and Whirpool Duet laundry suites on sale for under $2K. Both sets include pedestals. I could also go to Home Depot/Lowes and get LG or Samsung suites for about that same price.

We are a family of 4 (2 girls under 7) and I'd like to stay under $2K but am willing to spend more if it's highly likely I will get over 10 years' use out of them with minimal (if any) service needed.

Feedback?"

Oui, je suis d'accord. Cependant, dans la traduction, le terme "ensemble laveuse-sécheuse" était déjà traduit par "washer-dryer set", il me fallait donc une autre traduction pour "laundry suites"
Peer comment(s):

agree Tony M : The word 'ensemble' is the key here to providing a satisfactory translation of 'suite'

agree Germaine : mais ici, on dit plutôt ensemble laveuse-sécheuse (ou parfois, ensemble machine à laver/sécheuse).
