Last year I bought a new home and had the opportunity to purchase all new appliances. I had been using the same brand washer/dryer for many years--you know, the one your mother had. Finally I convinced my husband that we had to look at the new world of washers, so every weekend for a month we visited appliance stores and looked at prices, features, etc. until we finally decided on the Electrolux.
Now you have to believe me when I say that I was not attracted to this washer because of its beauty, though it is the most beautiful washing machine that I've ever seen. I had, in fact, to try to put that fact aside, because it was so hard to resist that gorgeous blue color.In the end, it was the features and quality of this machine that made us decide to buy. And most of that info was supplied by current owners of the machine, who raved about it.
So now its my turn to rave... about a washing machine. This is by far the best washer I've ever had, and I have had many. Our clothes come out cleaner, brighter, fresher, less wrinkled--all of those things. The machine is ultra quiet (it is right next to my master bedroom) and really energy efficient. It holds a very large load, is easier to fill and empty than traditional machines, and does not mangle the clothes. The controls are just fabulous, easy to use, ready, with many different cycle features and custom settings that you can set up--without even reading the directions.
On top of all of this, it is gorgeous. Can't help it--I really am in love with my blue washer. :)
My husband was very unsure about us getting a front load washer. I had a topload washer with no agitator and was very unhappy with the way it preformed. This washer is wonderful and have only had it since about August and really like how if gets my stuff clean, even the guys barn clothes wash up wonderfully.
My old washer was over 17 years old but still working. But what a difference with my new electrolux. Cloths come out whiter and I have so many choices on the selection of load type. i just love it and wouldn't trade for any other brand. I feel so lucky to have it. We did a lot of research and am so glad we choose this one.
The unit works like a charm and bold colors make a statement in the otherwise drab laundry room. You can see the Electrolux quality come through in the design and easy to use features on the unit. We chose the washer primarily for the reversible door feature and Electrolux reputation for quality. Glad we made the right choice!
I have been a customer of Electrolux appliances for several years. Being in the residential development business I've had the opportunity to try out several different brands and continue to come back to Electrolux due to quality, value and customer service.
It took me a long time to decide whether to purchase a front loader as opposed to a top loader with an agitator. Overall this washer works fine but there are a couple of things that I am not happy with. The compartment that holds the detergent and fabric softener doesn't always empty out on every cycle. Sometimes after running a cycle I will open it up to do the next load and realize that there is still detergent, fabric softener, and water left in the compartment. It doesn't happen every time which is strange so I can't figure out what the problem is. The other issue that I have is my husband works is a smoking environment and when I wash his clothes it doesn't get the smell of smoke out of the clothes. (My old washer did)
