      When looking to replace my washing machine, I started out looking at the traditional top loaders. The cheap ones were around $300 and more standard quality ones around $400, and I saw some that were another $100 or more beyond that. When the salesman asked me about front load washers, I didn’t give it much thought because they tend to be more pricey and out of my range. In fact, the first one he showed me was about $700. When I asked him what the cheaper ones cost, he showed me the Frigidaire FTF2140FS for $550, and seeing as they had $100 off deal, it was only slightly more than the standard top loader. So I took him up on the deal, ultimately paying $475 after tax, and so far I’m very happy with its performance.

      I usually have two or three people who rent rooms in my house. The old washer took 40 gallons of water per load. The Frigidaire takes just 15 gallons! So right off the bat I’m going to be saving a lot on my water bill, as well as a few bucks on electricity as this washer takes less of that to operate, too.

      The controls are pretty simple to figure out. Ten cycles, four temperature settings, you can set how fast you want the basket to spin, and there’s a few extra options, too. Shut the door, hit start, and let it go. Just be sure to remember that you must use HE (High Efficiency) detergent.

      The wash is very quiet and the spin dry sucks the water right out of the clothes. I can dry my stuff in half the time!

      I did encounter one problem twice. When washing my bed sheets and blankets, I heard a beeping noise. The washer was stopped and I thought it was done, but it turns out my sheets were still soaked. I looked at the manual and apparently if the load in the washer basket becomes uneven, it won’t spin (that’s why it was beeping). So I just pushed the blankets a few times, shut the door, and on the cycle dial there’s an option for Final Spin, which is just that, the final spin dry. So I selected that, hit start, and it worked both times. I haven’t had that problem with any other load of laundry before or after that.

      This was my first foray into the world of front load washers and so far I’m very pleased with the results! It’s quiet, efficient, my clothes are clean and smell fresh, and most important of all to me, it isn’t tearing my clothes like my old washer was. And for the price I got it at, it’s a great value!

      We bought this washer along with the counterpart dryer to stack and save space. It lasted 2 years until the motor went out. This will be our last front-loader as well. We will get a top loader for the same price to repair this one!

      This thing has been a headache since the day I bought it. It’s very fussy about when it wants to spin. Half of the time, it just won’t and you get a sopping wet load of laundry. I found on the internets that you can force it to spin via diagnostic mode and I refer to those instructions about twice a month. Beyond the spinning headaches, there’s the smell. Oh my oh my is there the smell! This thing stinks like a cooler full of mildew. I’ve scrubbed out the gasket countless times because of mildew problems. I’ve changed soaps from power flakes, to liquid now to those all-in-one detergent/dryer sheets. The smell has gotten better, but most of my towels have a lingering odor several weeks now into the latest detergent. Don’t even think of using powder because the dispenser only fills with ice cold water. I’ve ended up with hunks of half rinsed detergent clogs stuck in the drawer.

      In short, this piece of junk has been utterly miserable. I’ve used 3rd hand junk store washers for a quarter of the price that worked better and lasted longer. I’m only on here looking for parts/information on how to repair this heap of garbage because it now does not spin at all and I’m presuming it’s because the motor is broken (two years old).

      I don’t know if all front loaders are the same, but I most certainly won’t be making the same mistake twice. What a pile of overpriced, overhyped junk. Europe can have this garbage back!
