 Love the console and Nest thermostat-style control knob with readout in the center of it. My Maytag mixes auto-dosed detergent with water and sprays it over the load. Will Electrolux's more sophisticated version of that, with its third, dedicated pump be more effective? Can't wait to see test results from CR, reviewed.com, etc.
The relatively inexpensive price point is a bonus: $999 for the TOL. Compare that to Maytag, LG, Whirlpool and others whose TOL sell for $1400-1600.
Note to Electrolux: Do something innovative with the Frigidaire line! They're quickly becoming the WCI of the front-load washer universe.

Yes
I agree with everything you said. The ONLY thing I would change is the water level for rinses would be a wee bit more. I'm not sure why they are not but they seem to the exact same level as the low water wash (at least in my old Duet FLer) Ideally, it would be super lower water wash with concentrated detergent, with a slightly deeper rinse) in my mind at least. But I suppose multiple shallow rinses along with interim spins between rinses are just as good. I don't know.

Spring Door
Unfortunately, the spring loaded door was a great feature for other brands to sell against. A salesman I spoke to said he would tell the customer to open and close the door ten times in succession. A couple of times out ten, the door would need to be pushed more than once to open it. Bottom line, the customer would purchase the machine the sales guy was pushing that week.

Seen it.
Just got home from running errands. Stopped by my local big box store and put my hands on the 617 model. The pair were on the floor without the pedestals. Man, they looked small and difficult to deal with unless you purchased the stands. The rotary dial for cycle selection has a very high quality feel about it. Lexus like. I also noticed that all manufacturers seem to be moving to the painted read bulk head in the dryers. Most are painted a dark gray rather than white. Seems like a terribly obvious cheapening of the appliance, IMO.

I don't have a light in my LG washer and yes it has the tinted plastique door lens. But I can still see inside and if I want, I can get a flashlight and shine it into the washer and see what is going on and its on for as long as I want it to be. See problem solved. My sister in law has the LG washer that is a model up that has the square doors and she has a light in it that one can turn on during the cycle....but it will shut itself off after a period of time.

AS for lights, I wired up a set of LEDs from those cheap 9 led flashlights to a cheap power supply and permanently mounted them on the inner glass. Light when I want it. I used hot glue, but in the future I'll use epoxy. | ||

flashlight Keep using that flashlight, you will need it for more than looking in the window of your LG washer. LG is pure garbage, Samsung is pure garbage, Whirlpool is pure garbage. Korean junk...enjoy haha | ||

They have a verry cheap position over here though. And the LG/Samsung thing is easy said. Look at some of the common spare part sellers online. They stock a lot of the common parts. And if WP cared about durability, what about the Cabrio lineup? | ||

Good Pricing Over the Holiday weekend, I ventured into my local big box store. The Elux-617 pair were stickered $748 each in that granite/black color. Pedestals were 225 ea. I would have pulled the trigger on the spot if the checkout line was more than an hour deep. I had other places to be and couldn't wait. Malcolm | ||

The folks at Reviewed.com sure like it!
CR tested the model up--the 617-- and gave it a composite score of 63 (for comparison, CR's highest rated washer, a Samsung, received an 85). Washing performance received an Excellent. Energy/water usage, capacity and noise were Very Good. The dings came with resistance to vibration (Good) and gentleness to fabrics (Fair). Cycle time was 85 minutes (heaviest soil setting on the Normal cycle; warm (75-degree) water). Interestingly, the E-Lux 417 was the lowest-rated front-loader, scoring only a 33. Major dings for energy efficiency (Good) and gentleness (Poor). Washing performance was Excellent. Since water efficiency for the model was Very Good, I'm guessing the energy score is reflective of the maximum spin speed. A Frigidaire was the second-lowest rated machine. Again, for purposes of comparison, the top-rated Samsung received Excellents in everything but noise and vibration, which received Very Good. The behemoth Samsungs and LGs won't even fit through the doorways inside my house. The Electrolux is a standard 27" wide and has 4.4 cu. ft. drum, nearly identical to my Maytag 8100. Go for it, Malcolm. Electrolux isn't available in my village and I'm kinda finished with the whole Frigi/Lux brand. I lucked out and got a TOL Frigidaire double-oven range before they de-featured it; they've done the same to their front-load washer line. It's a shame. Looks like Electrolux wants Frigidaire to be their 'budget' line. 😫 CLICK HERE TO GO TO Frigilux's LINK

"Just bored and looking for a new toy..."
Truuuuuuu! My God, the number of appliances I've turned loose into the world just because some new flashy model winked at me.
Seems a shame not to pass your Speed Queen set on to someone. Does the dealer you work with sell used appliances? Maybe you can get some trade-in allowance for them. I've always found someone who needs an appliance and said, "Come and get it; it's yours." There are former laundry pairs and dishwashers (and a couple of ranges, as well) scattered all over this village. I know most of the people they've gone to, so I see the exes from time to time, LOL.

God Yes! I have a Kitchenaid DW in the house across the street. Third owner since I installed it, but it is running. My Amana TL set is at my Aunt's house not far away. My Frigidaire FL set is about 25 minutes away, owner's moved and refused to leave them for the new owner's. So, like a few on this site, have been spreading the love... Malcolm | ||
