Frigidaire Gas Stack Laundry Center -

The Retired One from Aurora, Illinois

This is the second stack unit that I have owned; the first being an apartment size; and the one I just purchased being a large-size unit. Prior to my purchase, I had done considerable research into the different type washer/dryer combinations so when I made the purchase I was prepared. Actually, I was so confident in what I was purchasing that I made the transaction over the Internet. Delivery and setup was handled very professionally. I wasn't quite prepared for the pleasant surprise as to how quiet this unit is. I put the first load into the unit (front load washer) added soap softener, selected the water temp and cycle. I turned it on and the water entered the washer. I was waiting for the unit to start and much to my surprise, the washer was already in motion. It is so quiet that I often check on it to make sure everything is okay. I am also pleased by the High Eneregy Efficiency rating. I am very pleased with this purchase. Read more

Seems OK but Patience & Practice Key

maggie from Long Beach, CA

When we first had this installed (and professional installation is virtually required for the gas model) it was a complete disaster. The machine bounced up and down, shook and made so much noise that it was basically unusable. It also destroyed the floor tile upon which it was "dancing." [...] revealed that the unit can not be placed on a standard kitchen tile floor! (who knew??!!) We were told to put it on top of two 2x4s to keep the machine from slipping and sliding all over the place. Once we actually secured this wood to the floor, then put the machine on top of that, things have been much better.Front loading washers are much more noisy than top loaders, so we expected some noise, but nothing like the clanking and shaking that we still get if the machine is the least bit unhappy with the amount or distribution of items inside. Overloading and underloading are both hazards to be avoided. Most recently, by carefully sorting clothes by weight and monitoring how much we wash in … Read more

Mo from McHenry, IL

The machine is wonderful! It cleans clothes so well. I love the front loading. I can put alot more in a load than my previous model. The Dryer is Huge. It really dries the clothes in record time. I'm not crazy about the slide mechanism for the laundry additives slots. I feel that the plastic slide handle may cause problems in the future, but I hope not because I just love this washer and dryer combo and want it around a LONG time. dryer combo and want it around for along time.

doctor cliff from new orleans, la

i bought this unit almost two years ago, to go in a studio apartment. it has done several loads a week without a hiccup. it's so quiet i can talk on the phone or watch TV in this tiny apartment while it's working. my only complaint is there should be a 'silence' switch for the end-of-cycle buzzer. it's apparently made to be heard at the other end of the house, which means it's painfully loud in my apartment. i finally pulled off the front panel and disconnected it. would have been nice to just flip a switch instead of dismantling the machine.

Good Machine, Horrible Buzzer

Good Machine, Horrible Buzzer

Buzz from Chicagoland

Absolutely no complaints about this machine's cleaning ability.. it's wash and dry cycles are relatively short and do a fantastic job. Also, this thing SIPS electricity.. it added a negligible amount to our bill. HOWEVER, the buzzer is MADDENING!! If you live in an apartment or condo (as we do) this bull horn may drive you crazy. We have resorted to doing laundry almost exclusively before we leave the house. Seriously Frigidaire.. you could have had a winner on your hands, but this is a deal breaker. Read more
