My front-load washer finally died and I was hesitant to replace the set with new front-loaders as my old one smelled. The salesman convinced me that Electrolux didn't have that issue and the top-loader was too deep for me to reach the bottom without being a strain on me, I took a chance and bought the Electrolux front-loading washer and matching Front Load Perfect steam Gas dryer.I am very impressed with how well it dries a large load and the steam function & instant refresh selection is worth it.
