essentials you can't live without in your front load washing machine?
Comments (8)Totally agree with Hvtech42 about the built-in heater. That's because by the time your water travels from your hot water heater to your washing machine, it has cooled so that it is not hot enough to get your clothes really clean. And even if your washing machine is right next to your hot water heater, usually hot water heaters aren't set at a temperature hot enough to wash clothes really clean. That's why you need the extra heat boost of a washing machine's built-in heater. You really should post on the Laundry Forum rather than on this forum.

Comments (10)Yeah, Electrolux have both (washer and dryer) reversible doors. My doors are reversed. I have the 70 series (WaveTouch) and really really like them. You can pause and unlock the door at any time during the whole cycle (you are only locked out if you are doing a high heat wash). Cycles are not long by default but you can make them longer with options and upping the soil level. The dryer can reverse tumble (toward the end of they cycle)....See Morefront load washing machine Electorlux 1.5K, speequeen $2k Miele $2.5k
Comments (11)thanks for the tips. If I am silly enough to replace the perfectly fine dryer- not entirely my call on that one- then I think I am going with Miele as it may be worth the extra money for a vastly superior product. If I do not buy a new dryer then I think I am going with Electorlux and save $1,500 at least if not $2,000 but I will need to be prepared to go down this road in 10 years again. Sears is going out of business in Canada so there may be deals to be had on Electolux. I know of a good developer friendly - warehouse looking like store just north of Toronto and I will check them out and along with Sears and see if someone gets me a very good value for money deal, sticking to the appliances listed above. (If I can get a Speed Queen for $500 more than electrolux - 50% more- then I am buying it all night and all day etc. as that would be the best value etc.)...See Morefront load washing machine Electorlux 1.5K, speequeen $2k Miele $2.5k?
Comments (27)OK! Speed Queen, delivered and installed, all taxes, "in the house sitting where is needs to be with old machine gone" price: $2,812.57 - (Canadian) this one https://ca.speedqueen.com/products/front-load-washers.aspx?mn=AFNE9BSP113CW01#build-your-own Has induction motor! Wow! That is real - deal thinking -cap on engineering- 5 year all in warranty and designed for 20 years. Not denying Miele also has some real - deal engineering and I would admit Miele probably even a better build but not a tank like Speed Queen. Miele- excellent but too small for the 120 volt one, and quite a bit of money - I noted comment about doing laundry all weekend. It was at least $500 more and it was tiny. So it was out. Electrolux - suitable machine no doubt about it- more features- very easy to use controls- unlike 'guessing at kind of' on the SQ.. And Elctrolux has alight in it -kind of neat! - and steam clean - an excellent machine. and could be installed for at or about $1,200 all in. So why not Electrolux but Speed Queen? 1, Vastly and self- evidently better build quality; 2, This! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Induction_motor...See Morerandy427
