I picked this little 24" washer up yesterday morning for the bargain price of $130!
For a compact washer, this thing is "big" (2.4 cu.ft. capacity), has 14 cycles, steam, 1400 rpm max spin and to my surprise, recirculation! When I first hooked it up I ran a rinse & spin cycle. After a few minutes I heard the pump come on, but it wasn't draining, I thought "great, somethings wrong with the pump, or maybe the hose was clogged". I then realized water was being recirculated in the tub, WOW (pic 3)! Another surprise is, this washing machine has a "steam refresh" cycle, meant for clean, dry clothes that I assumed would only be found on steam dryers!
While I did run a couple cleaning cycles yesterday, this washer was very clean and didn't need really need it. I've already done 2 loads of laundry in it and I like it!

I'm totally in love with that washer. It's tiny, but a workhorse. The capacity is REALLY impressive for such tiny washer. I also loved the way it's straight forward with the spin cycles. It actually surprised me, super brilliant engineering. No more hours wasted trying to balance the loads. This post was last edited 02/02/2020 at 18:34 | ||

24" Electrolux Washer Our distributer has been selling these for at least 3 years now, so far no problems with the washers, the condenser dryers are not fairing as well, but there are no great dryers in 24" size and no gas ones except the dryer on the 24" top load GE stack.
A lot of washers & dryers are still made in Italy , WP finally dumped the little 24" Chinese piece of crap about two years ago [ I would easily rate the 24" Chinese machine as the worst laundry appliance Whirlpool ever sold ] and they are now selling two different size 24" Italian built machines, and so far we have not had any problems with the several dozen we have sold.
Hi Kevin, does this washer connect to hot& cold water or is it cold fill only ?, The two little WPs are cold fill only with a heater of corse.

@Kevin Would you please test it with suds? I mean, high suds... Does it have any "emergency" suds kill routine like the LG washer has? | ||

great find
I have the same in my NYC apartment (mine is branded as Kenmore but is exactly the same). I paired it with a Miele Heatpump dryer.
We run 9 loads per week (2 people with workout clothes plus AirBnB guestroom). The quality of this machine is amazing. I stopped using bleach for my kitchen towels. I just run the Sanitize cycle instead! Feel free to load it FULL. I mean FULL. make sure there's enough space for 4 fingers on the top of the load. It has a very smart water mixing system. When you use WARM for example it will make sure that the temperature is right. It will take Hot, then cold, then hot again etc until the water has the right temperature. Spin wise, awesome. No vibration, no noise, no stupid forever distribution. | ||

I just called Electrolux.... They said this build in mid-2018 and was sold in Nov/Dec 2018, so it’s approx 1.5 years new. Cool! Kevin This post was last edited 02/03/2020 at 13:42 | ||

I know that on my Electrolux 527’s the manufacturers date is printed on the sticker in the door opening of both machines.
That’s. a neat washer! That wash drum is also used in AEG washers and it’s called Protex if I recall correctly. It’s supposed to enhance the wash performance of the washer. There is a Kenmore version of said washer as well. | ||

No build date on this data tag. I know Johnbee above has the KM version, but it looks like that model is no longer available(?) because I just checked the Sears website and did not see that model listed. Thomas, I would think it may have a “suds kill” routine, but I don’t know that I want or need to find out. If I do Inadvertently get too many suds, I’ll just add a couple drops of fabric softener and that will quickly kill any excess suds. Kevin

John, someone said the KM version has fewer features than the E-lux version. Can you post photos of the control panel and list the features, please? How many cycles and does it have steam? Recirculation, etc?
I'm fortunate enough to have more than "just one" washer & dryer connected. The current line up (all front loaders) consist of a Kenmore He5t, an He3, an LG, a 240V Miele and this E-lux (not including the 1997 Frigidaire's in the house).
Thanks! Kevin

It’s exactly the same . Same capacity same 14 programs with steam etc recirculated pump etc
I have it for more than a year and it’s a beast ! The reason I got the kenmore and not the Electrolux is because I got it from a friend ( he used it for 2 months I think) I wish I could afford a Miele :) Space wise , I live in NYC so even having a washer in unit is a luxury here | ||

Oh very nice, thanks for the photo, really good to hear they are the same, except for the name! I just edited my post and added a photo of my line up, take a look.
I actually have 5 Miele washers & 4 Miele dryers. Unfortunately the oldest (20 years) is now dead and has become a parts donor for the 17 year old W1986. I bought them used and was able to get them for reasonable price, especially the two in stainless, the most recent (on the right) is only 6.5 years old! | ||

I’m originally from Europe and my family has a Miele tradition .
My grandmother is 91 and still owns her W430! The only Miele toy I have is this new fancy heatpump dryer. I find them exceptional but looks like this Electrolux is not bad at all! Let’s see how long it will last :) we run around 9 loads a week. | ||

WOW! Wonderful to know that the Kenmore has the same features. I thought it was a BOL version of the same washer. Sears outlet often have them new in box. | ||

Wow, I'd love one, but no space and no $$ at the moment. If I get rid of one of my 3 duets or the older Maytag at some point I'd have room. | ||

 Should our Miele w1986 die I've considered this washer (cheaper than a Miele) but was concerned with longevity/reliability. Don't want nor need a behemoth that can't spin a smaller load (nor will it fit in the laundry closet) and the smaller washers work fine for us...used to European machines for the past 22 years with Asko and Miele...even with a king-sized bed in the house. | ||

Here are my AEG labelled equivalents 
Like those so much i have had 3 sets! First set in a hall closet 2012 -2018 and the bought them new again toward the end of that range’s life as they had included some upgrades and paired them with the new generation when I renovated and made more laundry space. The deal easily with mid weight super king comforter/duvet and very very rarely battle to spin a load.

Wowsa! I had to login to say: WOWSA! I love your laundry room RevvinKevin! My Mom and Dad had an LG front load like yours for years, and it finally quit. I covet it, and am *semi* on the lookout for one :) | ||

Kevin Your laundry row is on point! You have just about all of my favorites, minus a Neptune. Does your machine run interim spins? I vaguely remember in some of the videos online that these machines actually did not perform them. Otherwise, it looks like it would be a killer machine to have! | ||

AEG Protex
Hey Mike
Thanks - adore my setup - if I had to do it again I’d have gotten 2 sets of Protex’s as opposed to the adding the new/current generation. Most popular cycle is cotton 60 and there isn’t a set time she will adjust according to the load - as little as 1 hour 20 min for a light load up to 3 hours + for a heavy absorbent load and one can also layer in 1 or 2 timesave program shortening options. Another favourite is the Duvet cycle which is lengthy , gentle yet thorough with good rinsing. Also not a fussy spinner in fact distributes and spins beautifully, more stable and adept at distributing the load than the newer machine which is good but has left a soggy load on the odd occasion after having given up (ie when the load of bedding has crawled inside the fitted sheet for example). | ||

Thank you to all! 😁 Brendon: Wow what a great set up you have and a beautiful laundry room! I have been fairly impressed with my little Electrolux version! However one thing I noticed about it and don’t care for, is it does not spin between the rinses. However I’ve only run the Normal cycle (w/o eco option), I will have to try others and see what it does. Cathy: Thank you! The LG only does one or “maybe” 2 loads per week and it still going strong so far. I really like that it will spin even it it’s off balance! Lakewebsterkid: Thank you! I DO have a Neptune 6500, it’s just not currently in the line up. Interim spins? If you mean the E-lux, so far no, see above. Mike: Thank you so much! Kevin | ||

Comes to the Rescue!
The seller said they bought a year ago, then moved to an apartment (it's been in storage since). Now they will be moving to Las Vegas in 3 months and don't want to take this washer with them. So this may be only a year old? The owners manual has a Oct 2017 print date and Thomas believes this model has only been on the market for 2 years now. It's currently available with prices ranging from $945 to $1100 depending on the seller. Sears Outlet does show a dented one in Ohio for $650, but still. I plan to call Electrolux tomorrow to see if they can tell me exactly how old it is. BTW the model tag states "Made in Italy".
