Goodbye Miele W4842, Hello Electrolux Wave Touch
Comments (22)Larsi, today we went to set up return for Electrolux washer that was having problems. The guy at appliance who sold it to us said that we needed to call Electrolux, tell them the prob and ask for a R.C.M number, then call him with it and he will order me another one, so that they can get refunded from Electrolux. Electrolux wanted to send out a service repair. I told them that i didn't trust this machine due to the rubbing and had called the authorized repair man, told him the prob and he said he would ask for a new one, as this could be seal or tub or both. He said he wouldnt keep one that was bad from day one. So after Electrolux figured out i wasnt going the repair route, they told me to call the store and tell them they had a seven day return policy. Told her it was delevered last thurs.and that store was passing buck to them. Electrolux got the store on the phone, told them i said no repair and then electrolux said the 7 day return policy for a electrolux did not start until unit was delivered, not from purchase date! Store said it would get with their RCM people and that electrolux may give them some credit for it. I am not sure they will get full credit. Anyway, i should hear from store tomorrow to tell me that they have ordered me another set as the dryer was dammaged and they did not check it over before delivery. I don't think that it was my place to have to do all the leg work. It should have been store, but salseman said if i called that it would carry more weight. I think that he knew that i would be told to have it repaired and he just didn't want to tell us that. I will rest easier when they call tomorrow with a time line of when new set is in. They will reverse the dryer door as they didn't do it with this one even though i asked for it, but my DH was going to do it anyway. Fingers crossed i get a good set, no scratches, dents, or detergent tray that does not hang on the front corner which this one does. THEN, i will be in laundry heaven!!!!...See MoreElectrolux IQ Touch pair first impressions
Comments (13)This is week three with my IQ Touch pair. With the two of us, four cats and three parrots I'm doing two to three washes daily. I've been using Persil and I am over the top pleased with the wash results. Some readers may remember that I got the pair because of one cat urinating. Well, the problem is still there, but the washer/dryer does a great job on Queen size comforters. I only wish it could fit my living room love seat. I'm trying every product to save that. The washer is very quiet - which is important since I am on the fourth floor. For me, this washer dryer is an answer to all my laundry needs - except for that darn love seat....See Moreexisting owners of elux washer/dryer iq touch and wave touch...
Comments (97)Jmith, Everyone loads varies from type of fabrics to water temperatures. My loads is all over the place where I can wash my king size flat/fitted and 4 king pillow case with a king size fleece cover in one load to two bathroom mats in one load. Weighing fabrics does nothing but causes extra unnecessary step in doing laundry. Once you do several large or extra large load, the machine will let you how much you can fill the machine without over loading. If anybody over load this machine will notice how long it take for the load to balance for the spin cycle! I'm a older WT Lux user.........See MoreElectrolux Wave Touch versus Maytag Maxima
Comments (2)I wouldn't let mold/mildew be a deciding factor... whether you get it or not mostly comes down to how you use the machine, it's less about the design. Bleach, hot washes, powdered detergent, leaving the door open = GOOD. Electrolux makes Frigidaire, so although there will be capacity/feature differences between the Wave Touch and the Affinity you have now, they should be pretty similar under the hood. The Maytag is made here in the USA, which is nice vs. the Electrolux made in Mexico, but I have to say I would probably go with the Electrolux myself just because the mechanical design they are using has been around longer and is more proven. One annoying thing about both these machines is that they do not have access panels for the pump trap, so unless you are comfortable disassembling the machines a bit you would need to call a technician to have it cleaned if needed. Of course, the problem can be avoided in the first place by not letting foreign objects into the washer....See Moresuburbanmd
