I bought this and I'm generally happy in how it performs and cleans. I wish it would do a better job in purging the water in the detergent, fabric softener and liquid bleach compartments... when you go to do the next load many times those compartments are full of water or a diluted mix of water and whichever solution was there.
These are by far the best washer and dryer that I have ever used. There are cycles for every type of fabric and level of cleaning required. Everything comes out clean even when filled with a very large load. The dryer senses when things are dry and adjusts the time so I don't have to keep on checking and adding time.
For the price and warranty I got with the washer and dryer, I was shocked on how great it is. I believe they a built very well and won't have any trouble with them.
My wife and I have liked everything about this washer except the short 5 year life span. We expected 10-12 years, which is an average that was offered by an Electrolux employee in an online interview. One of the electronic boards failed, and the cost of repair would have been half the cost of a new machine. Since we have a matching stacked dryer, we chose to replace the washer with the same model. We will keep our fingers crossed for better luck this time.
There is a cycle for every purpose, but the absolute best is the "sanitize" cycle. It cleans the "Idon'tknowwhat" out of my sixteen year-old's smelly clothes. I don't have to throw away his clothes because of the stink anymore. This and the minimal amount of water it uses is saving me TONS of money. I lovelovelove my new washer.
We bought the washer/dryer pair and have been very pleased with their performance. The cleaning action is way different than a top loader with agitator , but it looks like it is friendlier to your clothes. There are plenty of selections for cycles so you should be able to find the proper one for your load. Also enjoy being able to wash comforters without going to the laundromat. We haven't had it long enough to attest to its longevity since it has tons of electronics.
I bought this the middle of February and it quit 2 months later. First they replaced the motor and then the control panel. I was without a washer for 3 weeks, - not a happy camper.
