Product review (5 stars): Solid machine
We bought this machine five months ago after a long period of research.  The clincher came from this reviewer at BestBuy who compared this machine to the Samsung and got better results. [...] Apparently, the steam and silver functions don't really help clean clothes better.

So far, the Electrolux has performed extremely well. It's effective, quiet and versatile.  It can use regular as well as high efficiency detergent.  It's very quiet when it operates, perhaps because it's heavier than competitors' models.  The extra weight helps to keep it ultra-steady during the high-speed spins.  The spin cycle is also quite gentle -- many of my shirts do not need to be ironed afterwards.
