Recently my husband and I moved into a smaller home and realized the wash room didn’t have much room. After a lot of research and looking at pros and cons, we decided to go for a stackable unit. Most important was to have the control panel and a normal height. Being from Sweden but  living in America for the past 50 years, I had always gone with well known brands from here. This time decided to go back to my roots and go with a Swedish product and I am so thankful I did! Electrolux knows how to build machines!!! It is the BEST washer and dryer  I have ever had! Love all the options- washes everything beautifully without haste wear and tear- and is quiet! I will never go back- just wish I had gone with Electrolux years earlier!!! Don’t hesitate to purchase Electrolux products as they have been making wonderful products for generations!!
