Electrodisappointment
on March 20, 2012
Posted by: Fred
It hasn’t been a year yet and I had to call for repairs twice.
The door latch broke as well as the detergent dispenser cover, plus it got stock when pushed in and now is rubbing against the metal door ring. The softener compartment is not working.

No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Pleasure to do Laundry
on September 17, 2012
Posted by: Momof3boys
This machine is fabulous! I used to dread doing laundry for five and now I love it. Plenty of space inside makes for a huge timesaver. Bought the matching dryer and it is equally as impressive. We have had these machines for over a year and they get a workout. Still, they run like a charm. So glad they did all the advertising or I probably wouldn't have looked into them as they were a little expensive. Couldn't get the theme song out of my head and I can honestly say that is what grabbed my attention and decided to give them a try.....so glad I did.

Works fine but could have used a clean button
on January 22, 2013
Posted by: Aruba
Washer has a complete set of automated features for various washing conditions. Of particular use is the extra rinse cycle since these types of washers use HE detergent which is highly concentrated with minimal water levels. Soap build up is a real possibility on the outer drum where mold can take hold. So, we use the clean cycle as recommended on a monthly basis. Our last front loader had to be discarded once mold established itself. However, Electrolux could have done us all a favor in their design and designed a much easier sequence to get the washer into the clean cycle. Currently you have to wake the washer, select hand wash cycle, start and then cancel the cycle. Wake the washer again, hold 2 buttons simultaneously for 5 seconds until the wash indicates it is now in clean cycle. Not an easy sequence to commit to memory.

Cons:
1. Doors will sometimes not shut. It takes me 2-3 attempts to close it completely, at times
2. No bulky bedding setting
3. The washer drum smells because it stays wet in the drum

Absolutely love them!

My husband bought this for our family of 5. I love them! I really appreciate the 18 minute washing cycle and use it quite often for our clothes. Really like the size because I can get a big load done, or just wash my delicates too. I'm a working mom of three so I think the refresh option is a bonus, in case I have to leave a load drying. When we come back home I just refresh the load and it's done!

Input from a former Appliance Dept Manager/Trainer
on November 18, 2016
Posted by: Mr CleanJeans
from Midwest Mn U.S.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We really like the performance of our new Electrolux. It cleans the clothes very well and very efficiently (and so quietly). Btw, this replaces a 7 year old top-load Maytag whose timer croaked. It was not worth the cost to repair it.. A side note: In a previous career I managed the appliance dept for a major retailer so I cant help but research anything appliance - motor types, controls, efficiency, settings & warranty, etc, before buying. My fiance just shakes her head, but she knows she is getting the right one. Things to look for: this washer spins most of the water out of the clothes which cuts the drying time nearly in half, saving a lot of money. The dryer in your home is one of the most expensive appliances to run, which makes maximizing the spinning of water out of your clothes crucial. This washer does a great job of that., and it costs only $14/yr to run. If you use a lint filter on your water discharge hose you will be pleasantly surprised by how much less lint there is in the filter when you use this front-load washer. This does not mean that your clothes arent getting cleaned as well or better than with your top-load washer. This means that your clothes arent getting beat up by an agitator smashing your clothes around like in a top load. You will also notice how much better your clothes retain their shape and fabric. This machine is much gentler on your garments. Other things we really like: the quick wash cycle - just 18 minutes. I use it for a quick wash of my workout clothes which I always had to hand-wash previously. They come out perfectly clean. There is a hand-wash setting on this Electrolux too. And a deep sanitize setting and a whites setting and many more. Whats really nice is regardless of whichever setting you choose this washer automatically selects the proper wash and rinse water temperatures as well as wash and spin speeds. You can also select manually. About the motor: it is a direct-drive motor. This means there are no belts to wear out.. Love that! And, the motor carries a 10 year warranty. Overall, after 3 months of ownership, we are very pleased. I did have one initial concern however. I noticed that the shroud around the door opening was wet at the bottom and there would be a tiny collection of water in the bottom of the shroud (seal). I called Electrolux to ask about this. What i got was impeccable service. They had someone out in 3 days and seemed intent upon making us very satisfied customers. When I called I was just going to ask a question, but they sent a service tech out to make sure everything was ok. They never once questioned a thing or made me feel like like I did something wrong. This type of service is a rarity these days. My hats off to Electrolux' service.
