I needed a new washer a couple of years ago and at that time I purchased a top load Maytag with no center agitator post. I was never satisfied with the results, clothes didn't seem to get clean and in some instances didn't even seem to get fully submerged. So I always regretted making that purchase and I tell you that story. so you can appreciate the contrast between that experience and the one I'm now having with my new Electolux matched set Washer and Dryer. Clothes get clean as a whistle and I love the front load; it uses little water, and yet the clothes get thoroughly agitated through the wash and rinse. And boy howdy, does that washer spin!! Clothes come out of the washer nice and dry, never sopping. And lastly I want to mention, we noticed right away how quiet this washer is when in operation.
All in all, you'd have to say, the Electrolux is a welcome 180 from my last washing machine experience!
Very happy with the purchase. But, given the limits of the financial investment, it is a solid purchase. However, it does not have a few bells/whistles I have had in the past. No steam cycle. No special cycle just for towels. But, not willing to pay for those additions. It is solid. The telling factor for me is the drawer under the washer. Not flimsy. Absurb to write a review based upon a drawer? It is in the details.
