Electrolux @ Lowe's

Bob,

The reverse tumble option is nice; it's called "Perfect Tumble". However, as far as I can tell, it only does the reverse tumble during the cool-down part of the cycle, not when heated drying is going on. So it would not be of much help to get the interior folds of a bulky comforter dry, a perennial problem with mechanical drying. But I imagine the 8 cu ft dryer capacity would help there anyway.

Iheartmaytag,

OK, maybe I was hallucinating at the local appliance shoppe. Or they didn't have the TOL model priced out. Or it was 2008 pricing. I wouldn't spring for the TOL model anyway...

These Are Nice

I went to take a look at a new Sears Appliance Showroom close by and looked at the Electrolux and other makes (Kenmore, LG, Samsung, Bosch, Whirpool etc.)

Man, the Electrolux is NICE! (saw the EWFLW65HIW)

It just seems more intuitive.
I like the push to open door, though it hesitates a second before fully opening.

It was plugged in and I played with it. Very quiet and pretty cool.
I tested the spin cycle and no rattles.
The Kenmore HE5t would not spin because it knew there was no clothes in it (after sensing it stopped and the "Add Clothes" light came on).
I like the fact that the Electrolux did spin even though there was nothing inside.

Liked the push to open pedestal and detergent dispenser drawer.

Sounds (button/alerts) could have been much louder (even though I set it to max).

Question:
I noticed the cycle selector knob pushes in (and stay in until pushed again and it pops out)...is this the "Child Lock Out" feature (or Control Lock Out)? If so, that's better then a two button push or 3 second hold down. Anybody know?

My second favorite was the LG's (WM2455HW)...I'm just scared about service issues. Nice design layout.

Third favorite the Kenmore HE5t.

I just wish there were some real reviews on the these new big 4.7 cu.ft. machines. I can't find any of these on Youtube either.

I'm looking forward to learning more about these.

Nice to hear

I`ll have to see how my Electrolux Affinity dryer holds up , it was returned with a problematic washer then the washer was resold,but not the dryer. lowes had the dryer half price. Original price was $680 now on sale for $350, plus I had to get a natural to propane gas conversion kit they had it for half price to.
So far it drys a lot faster than the older Whirlpool electric I was using.
