My wife and I are very pleased with our Electrolux 4.2 cu. ft. front load washer. It performs well, is quiet, handles all sizes of loads we give it and gets everything clean. We purchased the washer and companion Electrolux dryer for our new home -- we recently downsized, now that it is just the two of us. When the washer was delivered, installed and tested, it had a serious leak about midway through the cycle. I contacted Electrolux, and Customer Service was very prompt and professional in arranging a warranty service call. The leaking part was identified, ordered, and within two weeks the new part was installed. The washer has worked fine since then. fortunately, all of this happened before my wife and I moved into our home, so we didn't have to be without a washer for two weeks. All is well that ends well, and we are pleased with our Electrolux washer and dryer.
I PURCHSED THIS WASHER FROM THE DEALER IGREENFIELD, MA 01301.....
I HAD PURCHASED THE FRIDGIDAIRE INFINITY PRIOR TO THIS ALONG WITH AN EXTENDED WARRANTY ( 5 YEAR)......ON THE SIXTH YEAR IT BROKE DOWN......THUS THE WARRANTY WAS USELESS AND THUS I PURCHASED THIS ELECTROLUX MODEL SHOWN ABOVE. LUCKILY I HAVE IT IN MY HEATED BASEMENT AS THE NOISE IT PRODUCES IS VERY ANNOYING. I ALSO PURCHASED AN EXTENDED WARRANTY.. HOPEFULLY THIS WASHER WITH SERVIVE MORE THAN FIVE YEARS. WHAT I MISS ON THIS MODEL VERSUS THE INFINITY IS THE HOT WASH/WARM RINSE CYCLE..........I.E. EITHER I MUST CHOOSE THE HOT/COLD....... OR WARM/WARM. AN EXCELLENT FEATURE IS THAT ICAN PUT IN A DOUBLE SIZE SLEEPING BAG AND IT WILL WASH IT BEAUTIFULLY. IT IS FAR BETTER BUILT THAN THE AFFINITY. I WOULD RECOMMEND THIS WASHER MODEL TO ANYONE THAT WOULDN'T MIND HEARING THE NOISE IT MAKES AS IT WILL HANDLE A HUGE LOAD OF CLOTHING IT WOULD HAVE BEEN NICE IF THE TWO MEN THAT DELIVERED IT WOULD HAVE TAKEN TIME TO LEVEL THE WASHER. AS A RESULT I HAD TO DO SO WITH THE WRENCH THAT WAS SUPPLIED AND IT WOULD HAVE BEEN GREAT IF THE WRENCHE INCLUDED IN THE PACKAGING WOULD FIT THE LEVELING "FEET" (4)..SINCE THIS WRENCH DID NOT, I HAD TO FIND A WRENCH AT HOME DEPOT THAT WAS THIN ENOUGH TO DO THE JOB. ALL THINGS CONSIDERED, THIS WASHER DOES AN EXCELLENT JOB.
The washer is ok we have had a lot of problems for it being 3 years old. We needed to get a control board changed often have to unplug the washer for the door to unlock doesn't always wash the load in the machine. Most recently I had to order a part for the pedistal the door will not remain closed. I thought we were buying a high quality washer and dryer not a average pair. I thought Electrolux was a top of the line brand.
I have my Electrolux Washer & Dryer for a little over a year now. I am done so fast with laundry that my family looks at me completely confused. This is also my first time with a front loader and it is so much easier on my back.
This washer is extremly easy to use. I have a bad back, so being able to just put the clothes in and take them out without having to bend over. The pedestal has plenty of room for storing any product you can think of that is used in a washing machine.
The clothes come out clean, have never had to re-wash a load because I felt it was not clean.
The stainless steel inside is easily cleaned and there is plentyof room to wash king size bedding and coverlets.
The machine barely makes any noise while operating and the dials are easily set for the load of wash you have to get clean.
I do like using this machine much better than any other washer I have had during 46 years of married life.
