Have had washer and dryer for nearly two years, with no major malfunctions, good quality and features, big tubs for big loads, overall good product and very pleased.
We purchased this set of washer and dryer appliances about 2 years ago and have been happy with them with the exception of the heating elements failing in the dryer a couple weeks after the warranty ended. They've worked well but I'm beginning to question the quality.
Pros: Exceptionally quiet. Huge capacity - perfect for drying comforters and large items. LED lighted drum makes it easy to locate even the tiniest item inside. Lint filter up front is easy to clean and the dryer reminds you to clean it after each load. Controls are well designed, easy to use and understand. Appreciate the "My Favorite" option and use it all the time. The "fins" in the drum are well designed and provide for ample tumbling. My previous dryer had problems with it's design and items were always "balling up" inside and not tumbling properly.
Cons: Do not like the "spring loaded" door latch. My dogs are constantly opening the door when they wag their tails into it. The chime at the end of signal is not loud enough nor long enough. Wish the display would stay lighted until I empty the dryer. To save energy, the display will turn off after awhile. I have a tendency to forget that there is a load to be folded.
This dryer has very ample capacity. Drying options are superior. I particularly like the touch up with steam no ironing! It works quietly and efficiently.
The dryer has generally worked quite well, but I was very disappointed that a heating element in the dryer failed within the first two years. Electrolux was quite good in honoring the parts warranty, but it proved very difficult to get one of their approved service companies to repair the unit. There were very few approved repair services in my state (CT) and I ultimately had to get someone to come from a neighboring state.
