Fantastic Machine
on June 21, 2012
Posted by: Al
Have always had top loaders, along with high water bills, long wash times and some clothes that never seemed to come clean even with the extra stain cleaning chemicals.
Moved to Florida, bought a house and replaced an antiquated washer and dryer with both this washer and the matching electric dryer . As you may surmise , water in Florida is precious and in some locations, expensive . Before replacing the machines that came with the house, it was normal to do laundry three times a week . With this new setup, laundry is done one time a week and the clothes never came out cleaner. We have woods to the rear and on one side of our place , with tall pines, oak and other species,plus the normal vegetation you find here--that means lots of POLLEN .Have to tell all of you--the Allergy setting is fantastic--totally takes care of the pollen laden clothes . Clothes are cleaner, shorter wash and dry times ,and I saved approximately 20 % on this months water bill! Sure, the initial purchase price might give you sticker-shock, but the long term results will certainly please you . Units are strong, well designed and built. I had to wait a month and one half for these units, but they are worth it. All in all, you're going to save time , and money--by the way--you don't need all of those extra stain fighter chemicals that you're using now -- washer does it for you--see--saving money already!

Unsure overall
on March 12, 2012

We have had a front load washer for over 10 years now and it finally came time to purchase new. We had enjoyed our previous model but felt we should look at all brands openly. After selecting the 4.4 Wave Touch Electrolux we felt we had selected a quality unit. After we installed the unit, it ran its "install cycle" and passed. On the first load we only put couple pairs of pants, one shirt, and some socks and used the Normal cycle. About 15 minutes in the washer stopped, and never moved again, then it produced an error code. I was then forced to rinse my load by hand. While I am quite an understanding person, when a family purchases a "top of the line" model there is, and should be, a level of excellent implided. If not for the large sum of money spent, then at least for the brand name's own self respect. I am hoping we get through this "error" with no further problems, but I am questioning quality control of a high end unit... Make sense???
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Love it - Puts my Whirlpool Duet to shame.
on March 4, 2012
Posted by: Arsen
I recently upgraded all my appliances (Fridge, Stove, B/I Dishwasher) and washer and dryer to Electrolux Icon. We had a 4 year old Whirlpool Duet washer & Dryer that came with our house.. I hated it,, made so much noise when washing and drying , it was very annoying. Did an ok Job with cleaning, but compared to the Electrolux Wave Touch Washer & Dryer, no comparison.. It truly washers your cloths better and the Steam option is a great feature.. Especially drying clothes. The features and customization is amazing and easy to use. I thought my wife might have a problem, but figured it out in no time. I even wash my dress shirts in it and they come out clean and wrinkle free.. Saved me time and money in the dry cleaning.
The extra capacity is a bonus and the light inside the washer and dryer is cool . At first I would turn it on and watch my cloths wash and dry.. The chime when it’s done is also pleasant and not annoying.. The only negative is that the y cable for the water that comes with it to split the water going to the washer and dryer could be longer .. I would also replace the plastic bottoms with Stainless Steel buttons.. This caliber of washer and dryer could use it.

Great washer and dryer set - except doors

I've had my Electrolux washer and dryer for over a year and love them, except the doors. We really have a hard time opening and closing them from the first time we got them.

Worth every Penny Amazing!
on October 17, 2011
Posted by: Bama Belinda
Not only is the red absolutely eye-poppingly gorgeous, it’s a mean lean washing machine. I feel like I was living in the age of hand crank washers, the step up to this sophisticated marvel is so dramatic. It washes huge down comforters, and they turn out perfect. As do delicates, tons of options on cycles, you can set favorties but doubt you'll need to.
My husband keeps looking for me because I can’t stop watching the washer in action,which you can see because there is a light. It’s so obvious it uses tons less water and the clothes come out almost dry so the dryer hardly gets equal time. And it washesl in half the time! Plus its simple to use.
And the less vibration claim is absolutely true. It hardly moves at all even when spinning and it is super quite. It makes doing laundry fun if that is possible. I almost wish I had a bunch of kids so I could do more laundry.
I researched washers for months and choose these because of the cool features and less vibration (since I have mine stacked, it works perfect that way), and I am so glad I did. The other reason that pushed me over, even though they are on the pricey side, is its the only washer where you can reverse the door and I needed that.
Absolutely thrilled with this purchase. If you are consdiering it don't walk but run to buy this awesome washer.
One more note, the red was backordered, and I was getting a little irritated with the delay. When I contacted electrolux they hooked me up with a VP who handled my complaint immediately. Plus when I first emailed they answered those within in hours. So the customer service is 5 stars. I feel confident if I have any issues they will be there for me. They never made me feel unreasonable. Customer service in in NC and GA so infused with southern charm.
In a a word............BUY IT !

I will say I was scared to get a frount load washer with all the negitive comments I had heard from friends and family but at this point really glad I did. It is so quick and quiet. The capasity is fantastic and the speed is amasing!! I was also worried about the vibration because we are remodling and I didnt want my house to shake and It dosent.

less than one star

Within six months of low usage, this enormously expensive dryer locked shut and stopped spinning. No matter how we tried to open it, including rerunning the wash load, it remained closed and holds our soon-to-be mildewing clothes hostage. This washer seems to have been made with its design/appearance as primary. What an expensive disappointment. Buyer beware.

We luv our new machines! Simply the best of everything you would want in a washer and dryer. We've looked around and compared, but there is nothing we found comes close. This purchase was one of the best choices we could have made.
