Frigidaire - Affinity 3.3 Cu. Ft. 5-Cycle High-Efficiency Front-Loading Washer - White (11 out of 19)
Not very good quality
2
Posted by: from San Diego on 05/11/2013I had previously owned a Frigidaire washer and dryer that worked great. When it was time to get a new one I bought this washer (and dryer). I like the model because it fits great in my condo because of its size. But when it comes to loading the washer I have to load it maybe only 1/2 to 3/4 full because it won't wash all the clothes properly if I fill it all the way (with the old model I could fill it up to the top and all the clothes would be cleaned). I find I have to rewash some clothes because they didn't wash! I think it is a descent price with fair quality.

It does its job

Posted by: from Wisconsin on 05/05/2013This High Effency fad makes it hard to buyers to purchase anything that doesnt have the "HE" seal of approval. Luckily I wear a uniform for work but when I have serious stains that need removed it takes washing it twice to get the job done.

Great machine!

Posted by: from Arlington, Texas on 04/23/2013My previous washer wasn't moving through the cycles. The clothes were clean but very damp. I was planning to buy the set, but financially was only able to buy the washer and plan to get the dryer on a later date. When I started using the washer, my old dryer that used to have to run through 3 cycles to dry my clothes is finishing them in one cycle. So, not only is this washing machine saving money on electric and water, but it's making my dryer work even more efficiently and saving electricity through the dryer was well.

great washer for the price

Posted by: from lexington, IN on 04/03/2013We purchased this and are very pleased with it. It doesnt have a lot of settings but has the ones we needed. Easy to use settings by just a push of a button. Love that the door locks when in use. We also purchased the pedestals. If you do not have them level they do vibrate very bad. But if they are properly leveled they do not vibrate nearly as bad. We have slight vibration but only because our floor is not perfectly level. I had read reviews that peoples homes were vibrating but if you level it you should be fine. We also use the tide throw in detergent, sometimes it gets stuck in the rubber around the door but doesnt impose on the way the machine works and still disperses the detergent. Am super pleased with this appliance and recommend for people looking for a great washer at a great price. We use our washer very frequently about 10 loads a week and not any problems.

Posted by: from downers grove, illinois on 03/03/2013On-line reviews not good. Selection for stack-on units not good. Very satisfied with both the washer & dryer combo. Did not buy the insurance (nicor already insures). Dryer larger capacity nice for towels & larger loads.

Both washer and dryer are horrible
1
Posted by: from austin on 02/16/2013I wanted to write to make sure others don't buy Fridgedaire front-loaders, then I see all these other reviewers hate them too. If only these reviews were around when I bought them! At that time, I couldn't find any bad reviews. :( These are now 4 years old, and they're looking and acting like they're 10! I wish they were, cuz I'm going to have to replace them, I hate them so bad. I thought all front loaders were bad like this, but I've spoken to many folks that love theirs. None are Fridgedaire. The dryer filter will not sit down straight, and all the lint flies everywhere back on the clothes and the door..everywhere. The dryer takes 45-60 min per load, no matter what's drying. Washer is filthy, no matter how much we dry and wash and paint the rusted area, and do it all again. Had a technician out whom of course said it 'wasn't leaking'. Right. Our clothes have smelled from the first day we bought it. Have gone through tons of fabric softener trying to find one that would take away the moldy smell.
