Electrolux 2.4 Cu. Ft. Compact Front Load Washer with LuxCare Wash System ELFW4222AW

This washer really works well. The digital panel gives you plenty of options and is easy to use. I would give it 5 stars for washing, but I had to take a star off for noise. When it goes into a spin, it sounds like an airplane engine. And because it is in my kitchen, the noise is unfortunately very annoying. I was also disappointed that there was no Stainless Steel option for color, but most all brands of compact washers only come in white now; also unfortunate because all my other kitchen appliances are stainless.

This washer has been a huge disappointment. We’ve owned it a little over a year and have made three warranty claims. A part that regulates hot/cold water broke twice, the soap drawer cover broke almost immediately, and we cannot wash partial loads or blankets most of the time because the washer gets out of balance and stops mid cycle. However, the biggest issue is the mold buildup in the gasket. Do your research! This is a huge issue encountered by many customers. Electrolux settled class action lawsuits in the past due for mold buildup. Unfortunately, it’s still a huge issue. No matter what you do it will happen again and again. Save your money and health.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The only reason I gave it 4 stars and not 5 stars is that I haven't tried many of the washing options. For example I'm not sure how to use the steam setting. It is very quiet and I think it gets my clothes cleaner than my old washer. If you're looking for a compact washer I would definitely give the Electrolux a try. It gets good reviews.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love the washing machine. A bit difficult to hook up but does the job.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Overall a great unit that works very well, I have used it for a month so far and have had no issues whatsoever with it. Definitely a great purchase, I would buy it again.
