Great washer for the money
I had a very cheap washer that lasted for 5 years. When it broke down, rather than considering spending $50 just to have someone look at it, I decided to buy a new one.
I wanted a front-loading washer because they are gentler on clothes and use less water. However, after looking at some, I realized they were mostly pretty expensive.
I did a lot of research and Consumer Reports rated this washer as the best I could hope to get for the price. Finally after much shopping, I found a white one online and ordered it. I installed it myself in about 10 minutes and started washing.
We've now owned it for 4 or 5 months and I love it. It is very easy to run, very stable and operates flawlessly. I have washed all sorts of things in it and have never had a single problem. We have this in our kitchen-area right off the living room and, while it is a little bit noisy, it is much quieter than the other standard machine I had.
The one thing I've been a little trepidatious about is the detergent drawer which feels sort of cheaply made and ill-fitting. However, I've been careful with it and have learned how to use it and it really isn't that bad. Don't let that sway you from purchasing this machine. I really think you can't get anything better for your money. Even machines that cost over 2x didn't have the performance rating this one had.
Great washer for the price
I bought this washer as part of a set a couple of months ago. I had to downsize because my Kenmore He3/Whirlpool Duet would not fit in the townhouse I moved into.
This washer is comparable to the Kenmore/Whirlpool front loader, and is less than half the price. In one respect it's actually better. The Kenmore/Whirlpool was known for spinning the clothes so hard that they came out in a wrinkled tangled mess. I don't have that problem with the Frigidaire.
It's also stackable - and fits into the same space that the old fashioned "thin twin" stackable does.
I also agree that the detergeant/softner/bleach dispenser looks really cheap - like a bad knock-off of the one in the Kenmore/Whirlpool. But it functions just fine - so it's really a non issue.
