My Kenmore washing machine was not able to be repaired so it was time for a new one.  Electrolux caught my eye because we had an Electrolux vacuum growing up and it must have lasted 50 years or more.  The washing machine is amazing.  It has lots of options but is not overly complicated -- I have a 10 and 12 year old able to do their own laundry.  The machine is much quieter than the old one, runs quickly and efficiently and does a fantastic job cleaning the clothing.  VERY HAPPY!
