Electrolux EWFLS70JTS0 Short Term Review
Comments (15)Hi all, Gates i will record the temps when i do another few washes! Also i did the "fast wash" cycle today for small clothes. The booklet does not say what would be considered a "small load" to the washer, so i washed, 1 jean, 1 sweat pant, 2 polo shirts and 1 thin t-shirt. The cycle is defaulted at, maximum spin speed, you cannot change the spin speed, warm water, or you can opt for cold, minimum soil level, or you can opt for light soil level, which only adds 1 minute to the wash, so instead of 15 minute fast wash, its not 16 minute fast wash. Also you can add steam, but then the cycle goes up to 36 minutes. The washer filled with water and flooded the clothes with the spray jet, mixed with water and detergent. The wash time started at 16 minutes and started to drain at 10 minutes going into the rinse. The rinse cycle seemed to have the recirculation pump and jets spraying the clothes, on the whole cycle. At 3 minutes is when the machine started the final spin. This took a little longer for the machine to balance out the load, im guessing because i had one pair of jeans in the load, but i thought that adding the shirts and a pair of sewatpants would even it out. But instead of 3 minutes to spin the load, it seemed to take 5, as it had to try and balance it, which it did an excellent job, and then spun the clothes out very dry, for the remaining 3 minutes! My clothes came out clean, smelled fresh, no detergent residue on them or anything, so it did work for me very well, as i needed my clothes clean in a hurry today. I would only use the cycle if im on a tight schedule and need clean clothes within the hour. I've beem talking wiht Chris Polk from Electrolux, who has gone out of his way to help me, with questions i had about the washer before i got it, to the many questions i had about the washer after i got it. He has been more than helpful to me and i am very thankful that theres still someone like Chris who cares about customer service 100% I asked what a "small load" means, as the book does not say. He said like, a load of hand towels, curtains, table cloth, light weight shirts. He said the load i did was perfect, but that the heavier the clothes, the more water used and the higher the spin speed needec, so there was nothing wrong with the washer adding time to balance the load correctly for that cycle and the spin speed selected. I am very happy with this washer and all the help Chris has provided to me!...See MoreElectrolux 60 Series Rinse Temp
Comments (4)Hi, No the washer does not have a warm rinse option. Temp selections on panel only state wash temps. Did not use the add steam option, have not used it as of yet. Hoses are properly connected. I cannot find out anything about what the rinse temps are when using warm or hot as main wash temp. Electrolux is clueless on this and was on hold forever and hung up....See MoreGetting My Electrolux 70 Series Set Delivered Today!
Comments (17)Thank you so much!!!! A couple of questions now that I have run about 3 loads of laundry... 1. The dryer.... it didn't come with a rack! Did yours? I'm talking about the rack that you put inside the dryer and can put shoes on or a delicate sweater that you may not want tumbling about... The washer shakes at high spin speed levels. We have the pedestals.. Is this normal? Perhaps it needs to be leveled? It never shakes unless it is in the last super fast spin cycle, then it definitely rocks back and forth. My LG never did this..but we didn't have it on pedestals... 3. There is a gap between the rubber door gasket and the stainless tub... not a huge gap, but definitely something that may be an issue down the road if say maybe some coins or paperclips fell in? Is this just part of the way the washer is built? I ABSOLUTELY love the way it washes!!!! Uses way more water than my old washer and the towels smell divine!!!! THANKS so much for your help!!!!...See MoreElectrolux 60 and 70 series washers now have the same 4.3 cu. ft.
Comments (6)Honestly, I think they were ALWAYS the same size. Electrolux could not and would not make 2 different drums that are 0.1 difference in size. Insanity. It was all marketing....the 70 Series is more expensive, so let's say it is 4.4 and the 60 Series is 4.3. Both were the same, and are still the same :) Also, according to Sears and a local, authorized Electrolux sales center, both the 60 and 70 Series have a Max spin of 1400rpm. I loved my 70 Series and I love my 60 Series. The Specialty Cycles are identical, or near identical. Some differences are wording....Add More Water on the 70, Max Fill on the 60. The biggest difference is the User Interface. I like to say the 70 Series is like a BMW with iDrive (cleaner looking, and LOTS of hidden menus and options) and the 60 Series is like a Porsche (lots & lots of little buttons and labels). LOL Can't go wrong either way! The 70 Series Dryer though is leaps and bounds better than the 60 Dryer. 70 has PERFECT TUMBLE (must activate though under options)....reverse tumble, that prevents sheets and blankets from rolling into a tight ball during drying!...See Moregeorgect
