I’m coming from a pretty old washer and dryer set so this is a massive upgrade. I seriously like the look of it, each of the modes, the location of the control panel, and the ease of use.
Pros: Accurate drying and washing times, laundry capacity (I love that I could fit my heavy queen comforter in the washer and dryer. This is such an upgrade from having to take it to the cleaners like I did before), Washing machine is very efficient due to the Powerful spin cycle.
Cons: The washing machine machines spin cycle can get pretty loud. I measured it around 71 dB but thankfully it only lasts for a short period of time and it really does do a good job of drying before putting it in the dryer. It does stick out much farther than my old unit. I really wish I had taken in the depths and the clearance depth into consideration, but maybe there are some ways to adjust this. And lastly, I’m very disappointed that there’s no official spot for pods in this model. When I had looked at a similar model in the store, it had a tray compartment for the pods and this one does not. This is very disappointing because I’ve always loved the convenience of the pods.
Built a new laundry room in our basement where minimal space needed to be maximized and the quality of the washer and dryer would not be compromised. Because of space, a stacking unit was the best approach. The Electrolux tower won out as it's quality of cleaning clothes is very high, the tower is an inch thinner than other competitors (yes, space was that challenged), and one of us is vertically challenged (5'2" tall) so if a standard stacking system was installed a footstool would have to be always at the ready so that the dryer controls could be reached. After seeing the tower, the midsection controls for both units makes so much sense i don't understand why this hasn't been adopted by all as the standard configuration. After months of use, we are very happy with the quality of the laundry process; easy to use, quiet and clothes are well cleaned and well dried.
Have used my new laundry tower for two months and am very satisfied. There are a wide array of settings for the washer and the dryer, so you can customize your laundering. I think my clothing is being washed more completely than my previous machine. The manufacturer recommends liquid detergent, which I use, and the detergent tray empties completely and stays clean, but it can also be removed and cleaned. I need only a small quantity of liquid concentrated detergent--a tablespoon--to get lightly soiled clothing clean. In DC, the water is hard, so I also use a liquid laundry rinse. The dryer lint tray has a fine mesh so it captures all lint and is easy to clean. The machine is very quiet. There are no inconvenient niches that would collect dirt. The manufacturer recommends running a clean cycle monthly. Because it is a front loader and I don't want mold, I dry the interior door seals with a paper towel after the weekly laundry is finished and leave the doors ajar so that the cylinders dry completely.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been very happy with the Electrolux 300 laundry tower. The washer and dryer are large capacity, but the overall size of the unit is manageable. Despite being large and heavy, the unit was pretty easy to move into place, and the initial setup was very easy as well. The controls are easy to use and efficient. The only negative would be some of the wash and dry cycles seem longer than other units I have used. Overall the clothes are clean and this seems to be a well designed product.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Our clothes have never been more clean. With 4 special needs kids, a reliable and powerful washer is a must. We purchased two sets for our laundry space and couldn’t be happier with them! Our older kids are able to navigate the settings and it’s made laundry day a lot smoother around here! Thank you!
