Or are they scaling back to just laundry centers?
Click the link and behold the entire current Frigidaire washer line-up. ONE top-loader from the company that pretty much dragged the rest of the industry kicking and screaming into the front-load business.
Even more interesting: Search homedepot.com for front load washers and sort by low to high price. What the suds? Electrolux among the cheapest? Isn't Electrolux the upscale brand with Frigidaire as the value leader? What gives? CLICK HERE TO GO TO joeekaitis's LINK |

I was on their site the other day, and I also noticed the limited range of washers.
I'm not sure how sad I am at the thought. I have a very poor view of Frigidaire washers, based on experiences with WCI Frigidaires. I suppose the front load machines were better washers--not exactly a huge achievement, there!--but the name is tainted in my eyes by the experience with the WCI Frigidaire.

Hard to tell if they’re bailing entirely, redesigning or just doing laundry centers. I have an older gallery electric dryer I bought like 10 years ago that was used for a year then put back to use. It seems perfectly fine. |

Wiki sez E'lux owns White as of 1986. I've got their 98 Gallery washer, still in service until GF moved in with brother last year. Trouble free. (The washer, not the GF. Seldom if ever...)
Anywhich, brand names have come to mean next to-- sometimes less than-- nothing these days. That same machine was also sold as GE and at least one other badge (Whirlmore?). |
