Hello Steve....I am deaf and best friend. I want to say welcome, Steve! I found this Sear FL small loader washer for "videos" (it's short video). --Peter (kenmorepeter5a) ;-) |

Hi Steve As Bobby Appnut said, I have this Electrolux-built machine, but the deluxe model and in the Frigidaire brand. I bought this for the exact reason you are looking at them...they are the only large capacity front load set that has a "normal" footprint, about the same as a top loading agitator washer. The Duet's, Maytag's, GE Adora's, Kenmore HE series, and LG's are all taller and deeper than the Frigidaires. I had a 6-year old 3.1 Kenmore front loader built by Electrolux that I gave to my son that was a real work horse. Based on my experience, I would recommend this machine. I find they do an excellent job of cleaning, are energy efficient, quiet and dependable. The matching dryer does a great job, but the drum is one of the smaller ones on the market. But with a larger drum comes a bigger cabinet. I find it works for us. Once in a while I will split a really big wash load of jeans to give them more room to dry wrinkle-free, but that is about it. The door design that has you concerned poses no problems as far as I've experienced. When you think about it, almost all dryers have used this method to attach doors to cabinets for many years. All in all, I think the Electrolux-built machines are a great buy. The new Affinity's are very cool...and there will be a new model with a water heater. But if you are counting pennies, last year's model is basically the same machine inside. Good luck! Rich |
