I have to admit I'm enthusiastic because the new Frigidaire Affinity seems to be galvanizing that the front-load wars of 2006 have begun! The new Affinity 7000 offers an onboard heater--and metallic trim--for a mere $20 more MSRP than the 6000. Finally, a vendor is recognizing that heat alone doesn't justify a $400 price leap! Of course we don't yet know how MUCH heat... It could be 5 candlepower.
As of 11:09 pm MST today, Frigidaire's web page indicates:
ATF6000ES ENERGY STAR compliant Arctic White $879 ATF7000ES ENERGY STAR compliant Arctic White $899
Fair warning, this applies to Arctic White ONLY--Platinum Ice & Glacier Blue get nailed with another $100 premium. *ROTFLMAO!* That is a wee bit optimistic for PAINT.
Let the battles continue! Next up: He2t and Duet Sport...
Comes to the Rescue!
