Love my trusty reliable front loader – Machine has been so reliable and a fantastic little workhorse for 8 years. Had a very bad experience with another expensive top of the market brand that was at one stage replaced by the manufacturer with a new one which was still just as unreliable, it was very noisy, the components frequently broke (ie: three doors & door casings/hinges in 6 years, internal components broke/wore) it was just a lemon. I was just lucky the parts were so readily available, almost got to know the repairs dept on first name basis! This one is just starting to play up a little, it is not washing as thoroughly and spinning as fast but goodness me, it has cost me nothing since I purchased it. Thank you Electrolux, I do hope you can repair whatever is slowing down, as I have a little gem in this machine. Reliable, parts don't break (ie: door/hinges/casing) reasonably quiet for a front loader, just love it.
