Love the bright red color on the washer and dryer. I also really like the many ways you can adapt the cycles to suit your own needs. It's very large, and even though there are just 2 of us, we find them perfect. No one else makes a washer door that is changeable. We live in a condo and the space requires washer on right, dryer on left. No other manufacturer allows you to do this, even if your space needs that. Thank heaven you do--don't get rid of that feature. There are many more like us out there.
We purchased this washer in March 2011 to replace a worn out - still working top loader. My main reason for a new washer was to be able to fit a queen size comforter. We initially did not consider a front loader but after doing extensive research online, decided on a front loader. Electrolux won out over other brands because of reversible front door option. For my laundry room I needed right hinge - open to the left side. Anyway , I absolutely love love love this washer. It holds large loads, has many cycle options, saves water even if using the extra rinse option. Everything I have washed comes out clean especially the whites, and it also looks great. I do less loads because it holds so much. I'm also glad that we splurged on the pedestal even though it was a bit overpriced. Best washing machine I ever owned.
We purchased this set just a few months ago and it is the best investment we have ever made. We have a large house hold and I am able to keep up with the laundry without being a saturday slave to clothes. What impressed me the most was when I first got it, my son, who works for the rail road, needed his clothes cleaned. I have never been able to remove the dirt and grease that his clothes have until now. When I pulled the laundry out, I called over my son and husband to show them the amazing job the washer did. This may not have had the men in my life excited, but it has sold me. I will never own another machine! it is so worth every penny we paid. (also, the pedestal is roomy and stores all my laundry cleaners with no problems.)
I love our new steam washer! It washes quickly, quietly, and can handle oversized loads as well. Even has a large selection of settings. I miss is the ability to reduce the wash time when I only have a very small load. I love this appliance!!!
I would recommend this washer because of the size of loads it can do. The only problem I had was I had to take the pedistal off because of the vibration, it made the whole unit move and it kept pushing my dryer over. I will say if you are looking for a washer/dryer set, do NOT buy the dryer, not a good one!
Water sits on rubber flange inside door Doors on Washer & Dryer are difficult to close with normal push, they will only close when pushed gently on button!
I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this machine. I am a nurse, so I LOVE the sanitizing cycle for my scrubs. I know they are getting clean, and the germs are being killed. This means, the rest of my family's laundry is safe. I love the large capacity. It can get so much laundry done at once that I need my husband to add more laundry lines outside:-) I do not have to go to the laundry mat to wash comforters, and it sucks so much water out of the clothes and bedding that it has cut down dryer time significantly. This washer is so easy to use and maintain; it also gives users a message to run the cleaning cycle after so many cycles to keep the washer working its best. Two tips though: keep the soap tray open when not in use. Also, keep the door open when not in use to let the inside dry out. Also, when your last load is complete. wipe off the gray rubber inside to avoid getting a brown stain on it. These are such simple things to do to keep this phenomenal washer looking and running great!
