Frigidaire GLTF2940F

Pros: Uses less water, electricity, & detergent. Very stylish

Cons: Front load design takes some getting used to

The Bottom Line: Since most front loaders go for $800 plus, the Frigidaire is a quality machine at a great price

Review: Late one night at work I received “the call” from my wife. Our Whirlpool commercial quality, top load, plain jane washing machine that had given us 10 years of faithful service had quit. We quickly determined the plastic gears that drive the ...

Pros: PRICE, RATINGS, EFFICIENCY, REBATES, simply the best value for the dollar.

Cons: Absolutely None. I only wish these babies were available 10 years ago.

The Bottom Line: Check Consumer reports! Awesome rebates, super efficient, quiet, and will save you money on every wash. Clothes are cleaner and softer. This is a no brainer!

Review: When my wife told me she had called an appliance repairman to come look at our 10 year old top loader, I told her to cancel the call. After 10 years, we had gotten the best out of our old Top Loader and it was time to retire it. Instead of the ...

Pros: Saves you water and money

Cons: None as of yet

The Bottom Line: I would highly recommend this washer to anyone who has an old inefficient top loader.

Review: I'll just make my review short and sweet.  Firstly, I have a family of 6 including myself.  Kids are 13, 12, 6 and 3 years old.  So there is a lot of loads of clothes to wash every week.  Since I rarely personally do the ...

Pros: Lots of cycle choices, spins clothes really dry

Cons: You need to wipe the door and rubber seal off after every use.

Review: This is just an all around great appliance! I have never had a front loading washer before, and I love it. Luckily, I read the reviews before buying, and the one about using less detergent was very helpful. I agree that it takes very little detergent to ...

Pros: Cleaner/dryer clothes out, shorter dryer time, less water usage

Cons: None yet.

Review: We have found that our new washer appears to clean the clothes better than our old top loading model, that had an agitator.It also gets more water out of the clothes, apparently with a faster or better spin cycle, than than our old top loader. ...

Pros: Budget-friendly, water and detergent-efficient, easy to use, fast spin/less drying time needed. LOVE IT!

Cons: You need to know a few quirks first that Frigidaire doesn't tell you.

The Bottom Line: Great if you are on a budget. A Consumer Reports 'Best Buy'. ENERGY STAR status. Air it out after each use and don't use much detergent!

Review: Kind of long, but worth the read... After a few months of reading up on washers and dryers, I finally purchased this model from a west Houston Lowe's and took delivery this past Saturday. (early Feb 2008) I had almost given up on front-loaders until ...

Pros: Saves energy, inexpensive, laundry almost dry, easy to use, hand wash option, add-a-garment, delay timer

Cons: End-of-Cycle alert to quiet, long cycle times

The Bottom Line: Inexpensive, easy to use and gets clothes clean.  Uses little water while also spinning laundry until almost dry, saving water and energy.

Review: We always liked the idea of front loaders, even before they became trendy. We spent 3 years in Chicago and the front loaders at the laundry mat were our preference. I've heard a lot of rumors about these newer consumer models though, so considerable ...

Pros: Less detergent, LOTS of options, less water.

Cons: Does not clean as well as my top-loader, flimsy tray, capacity not large enough.

The Bottom Line: Love it for efficiency & less detergent, but not thrilled with overall cleaning.

Review: The Backstory...I had a pair of Whirlpool white washer/dryer for about 13 years when my washer finally stopped agitating. After suffering washer envy from every single family member for at least a decade, we finally decided to replace ...

Pros: Uses almsot no water.   Clean clothes.  Countdown timer.  Mid-load changes are ok.  Quiet.

Cons: Uses almost no water.

The Bottom Line: Good one.

Review: The old top loader needed a $300 motor.  Eventually I convinced the landlord that this $800 washer would save money.  I added up the savings: $200 water company rebate, $100 savings in water heating gas in the first year, $40 in water savings ...

Pros: Lots of options and low energy costs

Cons: Gross seam that collects everything and bad rinse cycle

The Bottom Line: It's fine machine and has never caused me major problems, but you should expect to have rinse and rinse and rinse.

Review: I have been using this washer for just over a year and although I like it overall, it has its ups and downs. When it was time to purchase a washer, I knew that I wanted a front loading model and one that met Energy Star requirements. This model was very ...
