We love em ! Sometimes they say a bad experience holds you back, but my experience with Electrolux laundry has been a &quot;no issue &quot; FYIMikehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02600505016111121410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-349948438771019643.post-63220636146442476972010-02-01T01:54:08.916-05:002010-02-01T01:54:08.916-05:00I just thought I would update my original post regarding the LG WM2487 I purchased. We have had it over a year now and I love it. I have had no problems with odor or mold, but I do maintain it (wipe it down, use the tub clean cycle once a month or so, and use smellywasher.com). I also have only ever used HE detergents and stain removers. It has been a very different experience that my first frontloader. Thanks for your help in selecting it!<br /><br />LeahAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-349948438771019643.post-4813398055854108782008-11-13T19:48:00.000-05:002008-11-13T19:48:00.000-05:00K, <BR/><BR/>Thank you for the compliment.<BR/><BR/>I have not seen the Electrolux laundry in person but am going to try and seek them out this weekend. I did fire off an email to Electrolux with several questions, but they have not replied, nor do I expect them to.<BR/><BR/>Even though I have not seen them yet, I find it hard to believe they can justify such a high price, especially consider their record in other appliances. Just from what I have read on their website, the machines seem to be more puff than anything.<BR/><BR/>I have not heard of NEW, but will definitely check them out.<BR/><BR/>Thanks again!Bradhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11377679284360826383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-349948438771019643.post-60272600688010242802008-11-12T23:23:00.000-05:002008-11-12T23:23:00.000-05:00Brad,<BR/><BR/>First of all, love the blog. Glad to find someone else who enjoys washers as much as I do. All my friends think I am really wierd (they&#39;re probably right, but it&#39;s good to not be alone).<BR/><BR/>Two quick notes that I think you will find interesting.<BR/><BR/>The first is in regards to the Electrolux washers and dryers. I am in appliance sales, and we recently got the new Electrolux machines on our floor. I have several concerns with these machines. The first is the UMRP that Electrolux is enforcing on all their appliances. In the competitive world of home appliances, it is hard to justify a higher, untouchable price when the quality isn&#39;t much higher and you aren&#39;t able to offer incentives to the consumer. The second concern I have is that I think they got a little too &quot;cute&quot; on the design. The detergent/bleach tray is opened with a push button control, which is spring loaded, whereas every other brand allows you to pull the tray out. We had our first tray break within a couple days of having it on display. The door is also opened with a push button as opposed to using a handle. I&#39;ve seen this hold true over the years, the more moving parts (especially unecessary ones), the more propensity for failure.<BR/><BR/>Secondly, in regards to Extended Warranties. Are you familiary with the warranty company NEW? My company recently partnered up with them, and I have been very impressed with them. They have won JD Powers and Associates customer service award for the past 4 years, and as far as I know, are the only service company to do so. They use 7 US-based call centers that are open 24/7, and have great features on their no-lemon policies (3 failures over the course of the warranty, versus 3 failures in a 12 month period like GE). I know of several regional and national chains that sell their services, which can be very appealing, and they are very reasonably priced (versus Sears and A&amp;E Factory Service). I think its always a good idea for consumers to ask who is actually going to be guaranteeing their warranty, because some companies are much better than others.<BR/><BR/>Just my 2 cents!kdonohue2http://openid.aol.com/kdonohue2noreply@blogger.com
