Great pics of your new machines. I have the Frigidaire version of this pair---without, unfortunately, the gorgeous stainless dryer drum. Congratulations!

The cycles on my washer are different. I have WHITES (regular), COLORS (perm press), KNITS/DELICATES and SHORT cycles. Also, I have no delay start, as you do on the ECO cycle.

Real nice set.
Out of all the FL washers this is the simplist most reliable design. I have the LG 3677 combo. Love the machine, but cycle times real long and rather complex to operate.

I have noticed that on some of the new Frigidaire dryers that they are using the stainless steel drums. I would rather have stainless steel then painted or epoxy coated anyway since it doesnt discolor or chip and scratch. Makes much more sense to me .

It would be great if all mfgs had stainless steel drums. Much prefer them in a dryer than in a top load washer.
Wonder what is taking W/P Kenmore so long. I also notice some GE & Amana dryers have them on certain models. Except for plastic, the tub usually outlasts the washer anyway, so what's the point of stainless steel? I notice all F/L washers have them, though.

Stainless steel has the smoothest finish and gives the best clothes care. Plastic tubs cannot withstand higher spin speeds and porcelain tubs chip easily. Stainless steel is the most superior material to have any washer or dryer tub/drum made of.

I have heard that porcelain tubs chip easily,but in my experience with porcelain tub machines,i have never had a chipped tub in any of my washers over the years.Very durable material in IMHO.I guess i have been fortunate.

Porcelain tubs probably wouldn't chip in top loaders where basically laundry is moved through the water, rather than pounded against the tub.

Also would think porcelain in the strength needed to endure forces of a front loader, would be heavier than a comparable stainless steel drum.

Launderess

I wouldn't mind a stainless steel dryer drum. My experience with Frigidaire dryers is that the coated drum picks up dye from black jeans, then rudely redeposits it on my white load. After scrubbing out said dye with a wet rag a few times, I decided to hang out black jeans to dry on the line.

Inotice that the door on both the washer and dryer open to the left, so that no matter how the machines are arranged, there's a door in your way when transfering clothes.

You'd think there'd be a way of making doors reversible, like on refriegerators. Shouldn't be too hard, especially on the dryers.

The dryer door is reversible. Ideally the washer should be on the left.
