I love my front loader now I have one that works! Do not buy an Electrolux! We have had 2 replacements and the second one just died a few weeks out of warranty (extended) and they wouldn't do anything for us...don't have the energy for a fight at the moment so have given up and just bought a new F&P 8.5 kg...which is sooooooooooooooooooooooooo much better!
