I always see ads for their kitchen appliances, but it seems like their laundry appliances have fallen off the face of the earth. They haven't updated their line in a long time. Local stores don't even carry them.

What's going on here??

I won't live in a world without Jetcone Agitators!

"No more JETCONE, no more washers..." --That would be my honest guess, or at least why I wouldn't miss them...

It could be that Elux Corp. is only concentrating on the Electrolux brand in US laundry.
Odd, since the Frigidaire dishwashers are everywhere (eyeroll).
But you're right, I don't see them anymore either.
I remember Frigidaire had some small, basic but GOOD front loaders around, but even those are gone.
Now I only see the odd, cheap Frigidaire laundry combo at Menards once in a while.

The basic front loaders are alive and well at my Local Lowes... My mom has one of the first of that style, An Affinity i think? 12 years old and she isn't known for keeping washers long...
I see frigidaire Refrigerators and a few basic dishwashers around.. And thats it...
I just sold my SXS Frigidaire from 2 years ago.. Didn't need it.. But it seemed ok

They don't have many options for top loaders...but their basic agitator model looks pretty cool actually. I had seriously thought about it when I was in the market.

The fridge that came with my condo was built in Jan 2005 and it still works great. I'd like a new one but I can't see giving it up if it's still working lol

You know, I haven't noticed Frigidaire laundry appliances either lately. I do still see a lot of their new side by side fridges, smoothtop ranges and BOL dishwashers for sale though in remodeled houses. I personally like the looks of Whirlpool's products better though, but most of the Frigidaire stuff I see is rather low end.
