This is my first front loading washing machine and I have learned to use it. There are a lot of differences between these and top loaders and once you have learned these, it should run smoothy for you. I have learned that if I am washing something like cloth diapers (something heavily soiled), I use the extra rinse setting. Regularly clean the glass door and rubber filter inside the door. I have hard water and I have to clean the detergant drawer every so often and that is easily done. I also like all the settings: hand wash, light to heavy soil, extra rinse.... We just had no choice...review »
I love my new washer, it is a front loader from Frigidaire. My clothes have never been cleaner. It is also energy efficient and uses much less water than the top loading type of washer. I can do double the amount of clothes per load in this washer saving me a lot of time. The cycle selections are wonderfull, with temperature, amount of spin drying time and even a delay wash cycle. It is well worth the money I paid for it.
Bought this several months back from Sears, and we're very happy with it. It's quiet, efficient, and the clothes seem to come out drier, too. They don't usually display this model at stores, but you can still order it there. Judging by the other reviews at Sears.com, satisfied customers are the norm with this unit. The cost was very good for a high-efficiency unit, as they had a solid sale and a rebate.
