The New HE Toploader Is Now On Frigidaire's Website

Interesting. It meets the Energy Star guidelines just at the minimum requirement and stated water usage is approx. 20 gallons per load. (8 loads/week = 392 loads per year / 7906 gallons per year). This is almost double the usage of Frigidaire's front-load washers with water use at 4085 gallons. It will be very curious to see how the new top-load washer is rated for cleaning, etc.

"Fresh Water Rinse"
I wondered about that, unless the fabric conditioner goes in the second to last rinse and the last rinse is water only with no additives which could make sense - or is it marketing blurb?

Website
Know that I see it on the website, I am not as impressed as I initially was after seeing the introduction video. Could just be lack of marketing on the Frigidaire website.
Maybe things will look different whenwe get to see them in the store.

For reasons which defy, well, reason, I really want one of the new Frigidaire top-loaders. I've never cared a whit for any of the impeller machines, but I am taken with this big, cheap hunk of plastic. I'm the ultimate die-hard front-loader guy, and I love my 2010 Frigidaire, so the impeller machine would definitely be a novelty item for the laundry room, to be used only occasionally. I want to fill it with a load of greatly-stained kitchen whites and see how things emerge.
I like that it doesn't have a hanging suspension like other impeller machines. If they've basically kept the same suspension, etc., as the indexing tub 2006 I once owned, it will spin the most unbalanced loads you can imagine.
I'm afraid if I wait for the rating from Consumer Reports, then I'll never buy it, LOL.
Malcolm---Frigidaire doesn't exactly roll out the red carpet for their new products, do they? No interior shots, nothing. Way to pinch those pennies, Frigidaire!
Oy vey.

I agree, Eugene. You should get one! This machine is intriguing to me as well, the lineage with the syncro-swing GM washer is just too compelling.

The console on the cheaper model almost looks like an updated Kenmore plastic console...
I saw a new Frigidaire commercial tonight on TV. It was for their new Symmetry double oven range but the commercial itself was done very well. They did a kind of a history showing old products from the GM era, even a skinny-mini Laundry Center. Then they did a flash of a lot of the old Frigidaire logo's before ending with the current one. It was pretty cool. I looked to see if it was on YouTube but apparently not yet. Watch for it.

Great job Phil! Happy you found it for everyone to see.

That was a good commercial - most wouldn't recognize the logos at the end, but that was great!

The commercial that I've seen stop right after the compact stove, and don't show the skinny mini, or dishwashers. I like this commercial much better.
Neat!
Now how does this machine work?? Is it a wash plate or agitator design? Sounds hydro-wavish to me in the blurbing!
Ah just reading the pdf, its a hydro-wavish. Greg did you see the use of "Sure-Spin" there? Old F trademark for the clutches on the later generation Rollermatics!! A little history there at E-lux. They are doing their homework.

The whole basket spins back and forth to create washing action - just like the GM syncro-swing did, but I'm sure they're not using that cable and spring system. Probably just a DC motor and a belt now.

Double Range
I actually like this double range where both ovens are equal sizes much better than the gemini with the small oven on top.

I remember the first LG Turbodrum washers on the Australian market used this exact washing system. The impeller was pressed into the floor of the stainless steel drum and did not move independently. The wash action was achieved by spinning the entire tub back and forth. Later they adopted the same set up as is used in the GE Harmony.
I would like to see someone come up with an improved system based on the GM Frigidaire design.

Frigidaire JETCONE
I wonder if Frigidaire has looked at the design already as a possible HE machine. Seems that it would make sense that they would...
