We had gone to a few stores looking to purchase a new dishwasher, however after speaking with a salesman we got on the subject of washers and dryers. Our previous ones were going on 20+ years old and seemed to be on their last leg. Our salesman was a big proponent of Electrolux products and recommended we research them, which we did. We wanted something that would last and hold up to our household. We have only had them for about a month but so far we are really pleased with their performance. The are so much quieter than our old units as well.
