Pros: Uses less water, stainless steel drum, no ring around the tub, see thru door Cons: After 3 1/2 years, two problems occurred, see update
I have always had an extra large capacity top loading washing machine until we moved into our new home in June of 2000. After a lot of research on top loaders versus front loaders, I decided to buy a front loader. Then I had to decide what brand of ...
Pros: Saves electricity, water, detergent, and money while getting clothes exceptionally clean. Cons: More expensive, but it will pay for itself over the life of the machine.
Two years ago, when I bought the Frigidaire Gallery Front Load Washer FWT449, it was the best washing machine available for the money. Although newer models have since superceded it, it is available in many stores for discount prices and is still a...
Pros: No Gimmicks! Frigidaire Front Loader That Cleans Better Than The Maytag, For Less $$! Cons: None
The Frigidaire Front Load Washer FWT449 is my choice, way ahead of the Maytag front loader. . .for many reasons. First of all, I never saw it as costly as it is marked, here. The regular price would more likely be $699.95 on the West Coast, at least....
Pros: Uses less water and SOAP! Cons: My wife worries about the front leaking
We needed a new washing machine & dryer and we live in a condo where the space to put a washer and dryer is limited. The old units were about 20 years old, still working, but had a very small capacity. The dryer was a 110V unit and took forever to dry...
Pros: cleaner clothes, less water, less detergent Cons: a little noisy during draining
We were not in need of a new washer when we purchased this washer. But we did have SOME reasons to buy it anyway. We figured when we moved out of the house, we would take it with us and leave the existing washer at that house (which is exactly what we...
Pros: uses little of everything, cleans clothes beautifully without destroying them Cons: takes a while to get used to
Two years ago we designed a double laundry room so that I could do the family's laundry faster and get to bed before midnight. That meant buying new washers and putting the old, reliable Maytag to pasture because it used too much energy, water, and...
Pros: lower operating costs, better cleaning Cons: expensive to purchase
It was time to give up on the 30+ year old Kenmore that I inherited from my parents (who inherited it from my dad's folks). It was a heavy-duty top loader that would occasionally overflow when running the perm-press cycle. But otherwise, it was a...
Pros: Clean clothes, space and energy efficient. Cons: Some difficulty in putting laundry in and removing it.
Trivia note: If you've ever watched Stuart Little, the movie with the voice of Michael J. Fox, and the acting talents of Geena Davis, and Hugh Laurie, then you've seen this washing machine. It's the washing machine that Stuart accidently gets ...
Pros: ROCK SOLID HARDWARE Cons: ENGINEER'S SOMEWHAT MISSED THE MARK
Length of Ownership: Twenty-two months.
Mechanical Failures: None.
Why I Purchased a Frigidaire Galley Front Load Clothes Washer:
In consideration of my kind landlord who understands that I have severe skin allergies and...
Pros: low water use Cons: dependability, and warranty service
After much comparison shopping I purchased this washer and it's matching dryer. I purchased both in April of this year. Out of the box the lock on the front door was defective, it buzzed all the time. I called for service and the part was ordered. It...
Pros: Efficient, energy saving, QUIET, gentle on clothes. Cons: Needs to be put on a pedestal (15 inches works great for us).
Put this puppy on a pedestal and not only will you save your back, you will save large amounts of water with peace of mind. Don't let the apparent size of the drum bother you, this baby can do the clothes. At first, we were considering the very...
Pros: Very Quiet*, water extraction, efficient use of water and electricity Cons: *Can be loud during high speed final spin.
With the new laws passed by congress to protect water resources, traditional style top loading washing machines are on the way out (or at least facing major redesigns with unknown cleaning effectiveness.) I don't know how others feel, but I'm getting...
Pros: Economical, Highly Efficient, Practical Cons: Price at approximately $700.00
I have been using this Frigidaire Front Loader now for one year. When my husband and I went shopping for a new washer and dryer neither of us had a front loader in mind. After using her for a year I must say that I have no idea why I ever used a top...
Pros: Quiet, fast, efficient, ecologically responsible Cons: God forbid you should leave anything in a pocket!!!
UPDATE AS OF 11 JAN 2002:
It's now been a week since I've been able to do laundry. The repairman just left, after telling me he was completely unable to repair this machine and "needs to do more research into Frigidaire's quirks." Last time I...
