Product review (3 stars): Annoying more than anything
I bought this washer and matching dryer in Nov 2010. At the time, I was concerned about Frigidaire's reputation for quality (or lack thereof) but we needed something and I didn't want to buy used. I wanted something energy efficient, not too large and stack-able (since we lived in an apartment). This pair is going on 10 years old, been through five moves including 1.5 yrs in storage without (knock on wood) any breakdowns or maintenance (other than cleaning). Occasionally, they do eat clothes and they do wash and dry rough. My biggest complaint are, 1) that after I wash a load of laundry if I don't leave the door open to dry the inside of the washer, it develops this weird mildew-y smell, which gets on the next load of clothes. And 2) the dryer, for no apparent reason, will turn itself on (not start though) and beep as though somebody is pushing the button. Annoying more than anything. It's done it for as long as I've owned it but it isn't a big enough problem so I've never bother to fix it.
