What We Like About Electrolux Washing Machines
For the price, Electrolux is one of the most reliable washer lines on the market. While the selection is limited, what the manufacturer does offer is a solid lineup that stand neck-and-neck with premium brands. Here’s a breakdown of what we like most about their washing machines.
Electrolux Washer Capacity
Electrolux washing machines offer a range of capacities across different series, allowing buyers to choose the size that best fits their household needs. Larger capacity models in the 500 and 600 Series accommodate bigger loads, which is them for households with heavy laundry demands or those who prefer to do fewer loads each week. With a capacity rating between 4.4 and 4.5 cubic feet, most Electrolux washers can fit a full-size king comforter—so you can wash more clothes in one cycle, cutting down on your number of loads and water usage.
Electrolux Washer Reliability
Electrolux has a reputation for producing reliable appliances that deliver consistent performance throughout their lifespans. Their washing machines are built with quality materials and undergo rigorous testing to ensure durability and longevity. With features like the LuxCare Wash System and Perfect Balance System, Electrolux washers provide gentle yet effective cleaning while minimizing vibration and noise, contributing to their overall reliability and user satisfaction. They also back up their products with an excellent Electrolux washer warranty (more below).
Electrolux Washer Ratings
It isn’t uncommon for Electrolux washing machines to receive high ratings and positive reviews from both consumers and industry experts. For example, Reviewed named the Electrolux ELFW7637AT an “Editor’s Choice” and “Best of Year” product, calling it their new favorite front-load washer that delivers top-of-the-line cleaning. Electrolux washer reviews like this underscore the powerful performance and customer satisfaction of Electrolux washers.
A Modern Design
Electrolux’s Scandinavian-inspired design is sleek, modern, and just what today’s buyers are looking for in their appliances. The Electrolux washer series is available in stylish finishes like White, Glacier Blue, and Titanium, offering buyers a considerable choice of styles to fit the mood of any laundry room. Your new washer’s Luxury-Design Lighting makes it easy to see inside your washing machine, so no sock or washcloth gets left behind. Together with easy-to-use digital controls with bright LED display, the process of selecting the right load and getting your laundry started is simple and stylish.
he Perfect Balance System ensures minimal vibration and smooth, quiet operation, so you can install your washer on any floor of your home and turn it on without a second thought. You don’t have to worry about loads becoming unbalanced or having your conversation drowned out by a noisy washer.
A Good Washer Warranty
Electrolux offers a few different warranties and guarantees. Every Electrolux front load washer comes with a 10 year motor and lifetime tub warranty (excluding labor) and a Second Floor Guarantee. Select Electrolux washers with a Platinum Star Limited Warranty are covered for repairs of any kind within the first year of owning your washer (one year from the original date of purchase or delivery, or one year after closing on your newly-constructed home with a new Electrolux appliance). This amount of protection minimizes the risk of costly repairs or replacements, giving you confidence and peace of mind when purchasing an Electrolux washing machine.
Great Washer Features
Don’t let Electrolux’s refined design fool you. While the brand’s washers look simple, they’re packed with great features. Here are a few of our favorite Electrolux washing machine features:
LuxCare Wash System: Get your clothes cleaner with Electrolux’s unique wash system. It evenly distributes detergent and additives, delivers impressive cleaning performance, controls the temperature, and utilizes smart load sensing technology.
SmartBoost: This feature premixes water and detergent before the cycle begins, which gets your clothes cleaner and makes them last longer.
Adaptive Dispenser: While other brands have adaptive dispensers, this one is the first designed to accept PODS rather than liquid detergent.
Perfect Steam: This is the perfect wash setting for serious stains. Select the setting and powerful vapor denatures stains to lift them away in the wash.
StainTreat II: StainTreat II technology chooses the optimal temperature, tumbling actions, and cycle time based on the specific stain at hand to remove messes better than washing alone.
Optic Whites: This feature delivers on an impressive promise: to keep whites whiter than the normal cycle with bleach.
Excellent Washer Efficiency
Electrolux prioritizes energy efficiency in their appliance designs, which is why every washer in the lineup is ENERGY STAR certified. In fact, Electrolux was selected as a 2024 ENERGY STAR Partner of the Year for their contributions to energy efficiency. Since 2021, Electrolux has expanded its ENERGY STAR portfolio by 67 percent, so that users can feel good about investing in their laundry appliances.
What to Consider
Of course, no brand is perfect for every buyer. Here are a few of the possible tradeoffs that might have you looking for a different option:
❗Electrolux only offers a single washer style: front loaders. If you prefer top load washing machines, you’ll have to find a different brand.
❗Although not as expensive as luxury washing machines, Electrolux front loaders are in the mid-to-high-end range, which may be outside of some shoppers’ budgets.
❗The Electrolux washer selection is limited. For some, having fewer washers to choose from simplifies the process and cuts out the stress of comparing dozens of models, but others may want more options.
