We bought this 3 weeks ago and have done our fair share of laundry. It has made a huge difference in the cleanliness and great smelling of our clothes! We went from a top loader to the front loader and by far we are very, very happy. It is one of the smaller of the front loader for space but still has a great tub size. We hope this stays with us for ten plus years!
The three words in the title describe this washer. Was just looking for something that... well... washes clothes well without a lot of bells and whistles. Electrolux nailed my requirements with this washer. You do have flexibility of course with temperature, wash cycles, spin speed and other controls, but my "technologically impaired" spouse gave it her thumbs up for simplicity.
It blows away my previous top load agitator washer in cleaning results. It's quiet and you can have a normal conversation a few feet away while it is operating.
Okay, now add in a reversible door. If your laundry room is non-conventionally configured with plumbing on right and dryer venting on left, it only takes about 5 minutes to reverse the washer door opening direction. That closed the deal for me.
A chime when the washer is finished with the load is a nice touch as well.
It works okay. It uses such little water that anything that is heavily stained does not get cleaned enough and needs to be pre-treated. I wish there was an "extra" water step. For normal everyday use it works well
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hi, Ekjohns!
Thank you for your feedback! As a high-efficiency model, this washer will use less water than a more generic model. For heavily soiled items, try using the StainTreat option! It will introduce a short initial wash with whatever additive has been added to the StainTreat section in the dispenser drawer before advancing to the main wash cycle. Be sure you are also setting the soil level to match the clothes that are being put in! If you have any further questions or concerns, please feel free to give us a call at 877-435-3287 Monday through Friday, 8:30am to 8:00pm EST at your convenience.
I was amazed at how quiet this washer was. I had to check to see if it was actually running. I was happy to see that the rinse cycle used enough water to get all the soap out. of the clothes. The controls are easy to understand and dashboard is very easy to keep clean. A nice feature is that the door on this model is reversible and that was a big plus for our situation. The door also has a magnetic spring loaded stem that keeps the door ajar just a little to help evaporate the leftover moisture. This is a really nice washer and the we love now well it cleans out clothes. The only thing I would add to this washer is a way set a time limit on the pause so the washer would start automatically again after a set time you chose; maybe 1 to 3 hours. Other than that it's a great clothes washer.
I had a washer that decided to not work any more. Went and looked at a few machines. Saw the Electrolux and their set up on the machine and was like wow amazing 20 min and 25 min wash along with normal wash settings plus more!!!! How could I not have this in my home. Well all I have been doing is bragging about this machine. Laundry has become enjoyable to do.
