Frigidaire 3.5 cu. ft. I.E.C. King Size Capacity ENERGY STAR Washer Mfr. model GLTF2940FE Review

   My old reliable Kenmore washer recently died....mid-cycle of course! So when I went into the Sears store looking for a new one, I really was interested in the new technology that was out there. However, my husband and I are empty nesters and he couldn't really see the value in a high efficiecy model as there are just the 2 of us and he has recently retired. RATS! The I saw the Frigidaire 3.5 cu. ft Energy Star Washer. WIth the 10% off sale that Sears was having, plus the $50. rebate from Frigidaire, the price was only $60 more than a "new old reliable" model. So, I bought it.

   I have only washed 4 loads in it so far, but I LOVE IT!!!! As another review said, there are so many choices for may different cycles. This allows me to personalize each load. For example, when I wash our whites I always like to pre-soak because of my workout white socks,. This meant shutting off the machine and then remembering to run it later. This Frigidaire has a soak cycle. It is also the quietest machine I have ever not heard. I always thought that I would not want my washer near my bedroom, but you really never hear this machine.

  None of this mentions the impact on the environment and hopefully on our utility bills. The salesperson told me that this new Frigidaire model uses about 14 gallons of water per load, compared to about 48 gallons with the usual top loading model I was looking at. I am looking forward to seeing the impact on our utility bills.
