Product review (4 stars): A great choice
We got our frigidaire energy star washer (and dryer) a while back and we love it. The only time I can hear it is during the spin cycle or when the alarm sounds at the end of the cycle. I like that you can turn off the alarms since sometimes I do laundry after the kids are in bed and I don't want it waking them up. The only real complaint I have is that some things get stuck in the edge of the door and don't get clean, i usually just take these things (usually socks) and toss them in the next load. I haven't had any other issues in the time I have had this washer.
