Mixing? That"s why I always wash in hard cold water and use only the cheapest liquid detergent money can buy...what, what?

Thanks for sharing. Over here, it's called ÖkoMix and has been in the market for quite some time. Several manufacturers have their own version of this system already.

Doesn't a simple recirculation pump already do this job fairly well?
The idea is to premix and dissolve ("activate") detergent before it hits the clothes. Some washers just spin the drum after the detergent has been dispensed to achieve the same thing.
I'm looking forward to KBIS2016. Think it begins this weekend.
There are some new products at www.reviewed.com/news

It definitely looks nice. I love the controls and the in-dial display. Looks almost like our Nest thermostat.
Are Elux's washers still belt driven? From the video on reviewed.com there looks to be a motor at the back similar to what older front loaders used.

Love the console and Nest thermostat-style control knob with readout in the center of it. My Maytag mixes auto-dosed detergent with water and sprays it over the load. Will Electrolux's more sophisticated version of that, with its third, dedicated pump be more effective? Can't wait to see test results from CR, reviewed.com, etc.
The relatively inexpensive price point is a bonus: $999 for the TOL. Compare that to Maytag, LG, Whirlpool and others whose TOL sell for $1400-1600.
Note to Electrolux: Do something innovative with the Frigidaire line! They're quickly becoming the WCI of the front-load washer universe.

Priced Right!
They certainly are priced right.
Wish they had more confidence in their machines to put a longer warranty with them, but then the pricing would be higher, I suppose.
Not a lot of options around the dial, either.
And no talk of reverse tumbling on the dryer. Wonder if they eliminated it.

Be happy not do deal with the ÖkoMix wash times we have here... 3:45h for a normal, not even efficent hot cottons cycle ;D

Cool
Too bad I don't see a bulky cycle -
It's also interesting that sanitize is a "modifier" and not an actual cycle. What's up with that? I'm guessing you just choose a cycle and select sanitize and it extends wash time and activates heater.

I suppose if the water is pumped up and over the load, there really isn't much of a need for a bulky cycle.

Lock / Extended Refresh
I assume Lock must be control lock and not an indicator that the door is locked.
What is extended refresh? Strange verbiage for 'we toss the finished clothes about every now and again until you get off the couch and move them to the dryer'

My series 60 Elux has a Sanitize cycle and separate Sanitize temp setting (154 F I believe). Sanitize as a temp setting is available on some of the cycles other than Sanitize: Allergen, for example, allows you to select Hot or Sanitize as the temperature. On the actual Sanitize cycle, one must select the Sanitize temp. I discovered this when playing around with the options before running an Allergen cycle, which I find is the best cycle for pet dander. Sanitize as a temp is also available on the Fast Sanitize cycle, which is a Specialty Cycle (not listed on the dial; push "specialty cycle" and control knob will scroll through these extra cycles).
Here is the manual:
http://manuals.electroluxusa.com/prodinfo_pdf/Webster/137378100een.pdf
Scroll to page 19 to see which options are allowed on a given cycle.
I would definitely be interested in these Lux machines, but I bought the 60 series in late 2014 and plan to keep them until they fail mechanically and are too expensive to be fixed. Earlier in this thread, I mentioned a rebate, which was from some national association of independent retailers and not from Electrolux itself (unless Elux was laundering the money). Given that the rebate was being offered 18 months before the Lux rollout, and actually ended Nov 30, 2014, I doubt that it was a ploy to sell off all the 50/55/60/70 inventory, since if they'd cleared out all the old machines, there would be nothing to sell for over a year.
My original Frig 2140 FL/dryer are still going strong over at my neighbor's, and they will be ten years old in March. My neighbor's old TL broke down, he was between jobs, so I gave him my existing pair and bought the new Elux pair. The Frig pair has never had a repair or maintenance issue.

Pop open door.
Is the reason I passed on Electrolux when I bought my Maytags.
Though it looked nice, I was afraid that it would be a trouble point down the line.
