| It is very quiet - most because it has a coin jammed in it | Any australian coin except for a 10C piece will immediately cause this machine to jam - no other coin will make it past the barrel to the coin trap - I have had three replacement machines so far ( In about 12 months)and have personally removed about 5 coins. There is a serious design flaw in this machine. If you don't believe me then go to google and type in "electrolux coin " or something similar. | Don't buy it - you will regret it!!!!!! | ||

| Uses little water, does a very good wash. very very quiet | nothing bad about this machine | I do one wash every day and the machine is 4 months old, it has never missed a beat, i don't know what all the hype about coins is, all you have to do is check the bloody pockets!!! | ||

| It has the ability to do a good wash. | It breaks down. The first time was within two days of owning it. The second was the coin problem, it has now been missing in action for a month. Electrolux tell me its my fault - the 'coin' issue. I believe this machine has a serious design fault and they know it but are showing very little integrity in taking responsibility for the problems their customers are facing. I find their advertising spiel above offensive when they say it is a thoughtful design that brings the users ease of mind. | Don't go near this machine with a barge pole! | ||

| Effecient washing, delayed start option,optional spin speeds. | Breaks down when a coin or loose button gets caught. This means you have to wait for a technician to come to your house and confirm there is a jammed coin. Then you have to wait for someone else to come and take machine away for at least a week to repair it and then wait for machine to be returned! 3 days off work- not good enough Electrolux! | Do not buy this machine as it is completely unreliable. Not only do coins jam the machine, so do buttons that have come off in the wash. This is a serious design flaw. | ||

| A good washing machine apart from major design flaw. | Coins jam. Machine was less than two months old when it first happened. Electrolux said they would remove the first coin but if it happened again they would bill me $300 for each removal there on after, as coin removal was not covered in the warranty as it is deemed as the users fault. We have been extremely careful but coins keep finding their way into the machine. 18 months old and now I have coin number 4 jammed in the machine. I will get it fixed this time but the next time it happens it is going to the tip as I would feel to guilty if I sold it to someone second hand. | How can Electrolux get away with this? Can we all band together and demand replacement machines, or insist on a recall to install the modification that fixes the design fault. | ||

| Great washing. The noise on spin is there, but aren't all front loaders spinning at 1000rpm or greater like that? | Coins. Had the freeby removed and have managed to avoid any repeats. Onsite repair of hose connection. Now at week 5 of ongoing saga with lots of head scratching by the technician, so far the control board, a pressure switch and the heating element have been replaced. They want to take it away, but we say no without a loaner as we are still washing with manual manipulation of the switch. They must have only have one loaner and it seems to be hard to get back. | This machine cost a lot more than it goes for now and if we have to drop $500 per year of Electrolux ownership, it is a bit much. | ||
