I bought my washer a month ago due to my Samsung washer breaking. It was too expensive to fix and I dreaded shopping for a new one. upon shopping I couldn't decide between two different makes. The manager at the appliance store guided me over to the Electrolux washer and told me that he and most all of his employees have the Electroluxes and they are a great machine. I bought it and I LOVE it! I love that it's quiet and the cycles don't take forever to wash the clothes and my clothes are so clean. Also love the stain release cycle!
