A few weeks prior to selling my last house, my washing machine broke. Had to replace it and purchased an Electrolux. My previous washer had been a high-end machine...but didn't live up to the Electrolux. Unfortunately for me, the purchaser of the house got a brand new Electrolux washer. Within a week of being in my new home, my wife insisted that we replace the washer and dryer with Electrolux machines. Purchased both a washer and dryer and can't speak highly enough about how well they both work. Quiet, balanced, and with every possible feature and option to make washing and drying easy. Our Electrolux washer/dryer handle clothes, towels, blankets, dog beds, and everything else we can throw at them.
