laundry is fun now!

I really enjoy using my new washer. The clothes come out much cleaner than with my old washer and with less wear, compared to the old top loader with the agitator. The display is attractive and the end-of-cycle chime is much more pleasant than the old buzzer. I think those little details are important - the chimes, the blue lights in the displays, it all comes together very nicely with the quality of the machine as a whole.
We love our washer/dryer matched Electrolux set. This washer is quiet, highly capable of meeting our needs, and simple to use. With our older model, we used many boxes of powder detergent each month. Now we are able to use a high-efficiency liquid detergent, and we have reduced our detergent costs by 90% or more. We cannot imagine what it would be like to go back to the old appliances. We feel we have moved ahead by 20 years!
I went into the store saying I'd never buy a front load washer but I was wrong. I absolutely love it. The fact that I can stack my dryer on it was a huge plus since I have limited room in my laundry room. It is extremely easy to use and has so many options. I love the sanitize cycle for my bedding and towels.
There is always a great deal of moisture in the machine after I wash. Because of this I now leave the door open many hours after doing a load of laundry. I also dry and leave open the compartment for the detergent because there is a lot of water there too.
I totally love this Electrolux washer. It is easy to operate, quiet, and the steam feature is fantastic. I really didn't care about the steam feature when I purchased the washer. But, I use it all the time! There are settings that cover whatever type of laundry you are doing. I am really happy with the washer performance.
We've had this washer now for 4+ years and it works very well. We don't use all of the features, but wash lots of clothes with it. As long as we leave the front door of the washer open for a day or so after we use it, we have no issue musty smells common to front load washer. The self clean / sanitation features also works very well.
I have never been more pleased with a front load washer than I am with my Electrolux front load washer. It is not only so easy to use, but it is extremely eco friendly. I cannot say enough about it, other than to buy anything else would be a step down from one of the best washers on the market, hands down.
I have to admit, there is really nothing glamorous about a new washer and dryer. I wasn’t excited to buy a new one when my old one went out. I do have to say I must be getting older as I was excited once they were delivered and I started to use them. I read a ton of reviews prior to purchasing these. A couple things that I read didn’t really jump out at me until I started to use the feature or hear from friends how they didn’t like that their washer spun right off the pedestal. A couple of the features that I would highly recommend is the steam option is the best. There are several mornings that we want to wear something that is wrinkled, as we forgot to iron. No problem at all when you set the touch up with steam turned on and it is ready in 10-15 minutes. The steam used on the standard wash seams to make the clothes so soft – I can say I don’t even use liquid fabric softener anymore and I used to add to every load. The other option that I love is the being able to adjust the spin level. In most cases I have it set on medium and does a great job. As I have stated that friends that had other brands couldn’t adjust the spin level and it literally spun right off of the pedestal. I did clean some rugs the other day and set to heavy duty and turned up the spin cycle and there was very little moisture left in the rug when removed. And no it didn’t spin of the stand. However I didn’t purchase the stand with it, my husband built me an awesome one that holds the laundry baskets underneath it. Truly amazing, I kind of like doing laundry now, the laundry room doesn’t stack up with 8-10 loads as it had in the past - LOVE
