Product review (1 stars): Avoid!
I rarely write a one-star review for any product, but the Frigidaire Affinity really is in a class of its own in terms of poor quality. We purchased ours (new) from a local appliance store about a year and a half ago and it's truly an awful product. Previous reviews have summed it up: the machine's gasket grows mold even if you leave the door open when the machine is not in use; the detergent compartment fills with water and does not drain; the door leaks out the bottom even if you close it carefully. And worst of all, the machine periodically shreds articles of clothing that become trapped between the gasket and the spinning drum. I really can't think of any positives about this machine, and we are planning to get rid of ours as soon as we pick out a different washer.
