Affinity? I have mine and I love it. (Since I discovered how to use a HE machine properly to avoid poor rinses) | ||

mark_wpduet Absolutely nothing more than using it according to the owner's manual. = It rinses ok, but could be better.... MUCH BETTER Than I decided to ignore the directions and make it wash and rinse much better, using a little (very little) more water. | ||

FRIGIDAIRE Affinity
The ATF8000 and AEQ/AGQ8000 washer and dryer from FRIGIDAIRE are IMHO the best made set in an afordable price made in America.They have great features,look fabulous and get clothes real clean.They're fun to watch and have an adjustible water level using a screwdriver.I had a set in Florida and adjusted the water level just below the base of its window.It realy made a difference and had no negative results.The dryer realy worked well too. The clothes would be dry before the next wash load was ready to dry.Very quiet,dependible and stylish. I think you can find them on ebay for a great price.My favorite color they are available in is the ice blue color.

Afinities in black ATF8000FE/AEQ8000FE
I know of a place (Appliance Factory Outlet) that has these available in black for only $1299 + shipping and handling.Their ph # is (720) 881-8242.You may also get extended 5 years pts + lab coverage for only $119/appliance!I would give them a call and see what other colors are available and check the difference in price for the same pair in blue and the gas version dryer if that is what you want.Good luck! | ||

I'll recommend the Frigidaire 2940 or one of the Affinity models. A good friend just replaced her 15-year old Speed Queen (leaking tub seal) with an the lower-end Affinity and loves it. I've seen it in action a few times and it seems to be a solid machine. I'm amazed at how little water it uses compared to my prior-generation 3.0 cu.ft. Electrolux-made Frigidaire. She has kids and their dirty clothes come out clean. I suggested she always use the Heavy Soil option, which adds extra wash time. That seems to overcome the nothing-to-brag-about 'good' cleaning score it receives from Consumer Reports. I noticed the Affinity's Normal and Heavy Duty cycles are substantially shorter than those for the LG, Duet, etc. | ||
