Electrolux UltimateCare 900 Front Load Washer EWW1242R9WC

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 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.

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.
