Best Electrolux Front Loading Washing Machines

Such a disappointing machine - to the point I am going to take the 10yr old LG that replaced it out of the shed and put it back. Main gripes: 1. Its… Read more

quicker to dry clothes outside than use the (useless) drying function 2. If you do use the drying function it will shrink your synthetics 3. It cannot handle even close to 12kg of clothing, Electrolux have done a bit of - this is false and misleading advertising here. Not surprising actually because the drum is the same size as my 7.5kg LG. If you do load above ~7kg be prepared to iron everything that comes out of the washing machine, even if you remove laundry immediately, and have spun on the lowest settings. This is by far the biggest gripe, it has doubled my laundry effort because it creases everything. 4. The estimated wash duration is only accurate AFTER the washcycle has started, so you have no idea how long the programme will take as it only displays the max time whilst you are trying to find a programme that fits to your schedule. 5. Most of the cycles (associated with the dryer part) are useless.

What's good: 1. I don't mind the function that allows you to load detergent and softener for about 1-2 weeks of washing 2. I can replace it with my LG tomorrow

So $1500 spent to increase my workload and damage my clothes. I will never purchase another Electrolux product again.

Misleading and spin issue – Not full 10kg and bad spin programing We bought this machine about a month ago, we had a Electrolux previously that worked ok for 10 years, so we… Read more

though why not. Also we wanted a high volume spin as most top loaders only have around 850rpm this spins at 1,400 rpm. But only in certain cycles and not on all cycles. The normal wash is an hour minimum. Other cycles are nearly 3 hours which I find to be very excessive. The spin cycle is the issue. On the normal wash the load capacity is 5kg not 10kg, that’s for the long 3 hour wash cycle. Anyway as you load your cloths it measures the weight so you know how much to put. We are finding that the spin cycle tries to balance itself and won’t fully spin so the cloths are still wet. Even on just the spin cycle. It spins slowly trying to balance and shuts off after 3 attempts. We had a technician come out and it had a stored Error code. He also said that we may need to put in more then 5kg???? It’s got me beat, I didn’t think washing clothes was a science. But I told him that if we remove a item like a towel it will spin. He said that’s just how they are programmed to work. He agreed it was ridiculous programming and also about the 3 hour wash, like who wants to have a wash going for three hours. This product is sold as a 10kg machine, but it’s a part time 10kg machine. We are very unhappy as it’s not performing as it should and under consume warranty law I have the right to a refund or a replacement. I would suggest staying away from this Electrolux product as it pretty much a lemon and being in the automotive trade i have seen a few in my time. The 10kg is misleading and deceptive, Spin is noisy also.

I have a big family and rely on washing towels at 90degrees and also over 60 degrees to sanitise clothes. Obviously not for the delicate clothes. I… Read more

was alarmed when it took over 5 hours for the 90degree wash and over 4 hours for the 60 degree wash. Nor could you delay the start but you can actually increase the time washing . Seriously?? The cycles were all far too long already ! Nowhere in the Electrolux information sheets did it mention this! It’s definitely not a time saving nor energy saving machine as it is promoted. If you only wash on 30 degrees then you are ok. Thank you to the Good Guys for replacing this machine for me ! Electrolux would not !
