hello to all members of aw do you know if the fridgedair washers of today are good (top load) because right know i am using a whirlpool duet washer and dryer set but in 10 years from now i am thinking of going with a maytag washer and dryer set or a fridgedair washer and dryer set and i like the idea of a warm rinse option would be useful when needed. Here is a picture of the model if unchange in 10 years that i would love. Pierre

To be honest Those are literally the worst performing washing machines ever made. Turnover is non existent. Everything is cheap plastic junk. I do not reccomend these machines, and I don't think anyone else will either. | ||

Alright, haters, STEP OFF!!! I happen to really enjoy my Frigidaire top-loader, which I purchased in 2006. However, I would not recommend one as your only washer for several reasons. 1) It only fills the tub about 2/3 full of water. This allows you to wash only medium-sized loads. The pressure dome is not adjustable. 2) While the dial SAYS there's a warm rinse, that is false. The fill for the deep rinse is cold. You get a 20-second warm rinse during the final spin. False advertising!! 3) To meet the latest energy-usage requirements, the "Precision Temp" feature has been changed, and not for the better. Beginning with models made last year, the hot water wash is 'dumbed-down' to a maximum of 110 degrees, and the warm water wash is not temperature controlled at all. Insanity! Yes, the machine is all plastic, but I get outstandingly clean results when washing even huge loads of highly-stained kitchen whites, as long as I make sure more water is added to the tub. They have been very reliable washers. Friends of mine have a 1986 model which has needed only one repair--a broken belt. There is roll-over, but you have to get the water-to-clothes ratio just right. It has a much slower rollover than we're used to seeing with fast, short-stroke machines. Frankly, I would recommend a GE or Whirlpool top-loader before the Frigidaire---unless you really want an indexing tub, which I did. You can watch three different videos of my washer on YouTube. Search for "2006 Frigidaire Washer." | ||

Frigilux, speaks the truth! I'm pretty happy with my TL. In fact it seems to do a better job than the FL it replaced. The "warm rinse" is indeed a bit of mkt BS. When I do a huge load I force the water level to the top row of basket holes. I really don't care for FL anymore. | ||

Uh, Why not just go back to the machine when it is about to deep rinse, stop it, set it for a warm wash, let it fill with warm water, and then stop it, move the dial to "rinse"? I am puzzled. Lawrence/Maytagbear | ||
