The Frigidaire 2140 has a large 3.5 cu ft capacity but stays on the standard 27 x 27 inch footprint. Larger washers get the extra capacity by being deeper, which may not work in closet installations or in laundry rooms with tight clearances.
Best Buy usually has it on sale for mid-500s, OR they will raise the price to 600 but give you 100 dollars off if you buy a dryer too. This week the pair would cost you 1000 for electric dryer, 1069 for gas dryer. This pair can be stacked ($25 bracket from Frigidaire) to save space if you like.
Sometimes Best Buy lowers the price down to 549 for the washer but eliminates the 100 dollars off for buying a pair, which would be beneficial to someone buying only a washer. Lowes also carries this machine
and sometimes puts it on sale. Currently going for 548. The matching dryer is 499
and remember you may not get any rebates with a TL, so do your homework before making a purchase. The rebates may place a FL pair within your reach.
Frigidaire makes stacked combos with gas or electric
but these cost more than buying separate machines.
I have had my 2940 for two and a half years. Great cleaning, quiet operation. Depending on where you live, you may receive rebates from the water district or gas utility (in my case, $100 water rebate, $35 gas utility rebate). Will cut your water use by about 60-65%. Because the clothes are drier after final spin that in a TL, drying times are reduced and this will result in lower gas and/or electric bills. If someone in my area (SoCal) needed a new pair, after the rebates the net price would be 865 for electric, 934 for gas.
