    Professional delivery and installation is available for every product we sell. We would be happy to coordinate delivery and installation for you.

    Extended warranties are usually very inexpensive and can save you thousands in the future. Some can even cover extra costs that result, such as cost of food that spoils when your fridge dies. It's simple and inexpensive to purchase extended warranties and one of the smartest ways to protect your investment.

    Appliances can be large, heavy and expensive. You probably don't have the special tools or expertise needed to fix them in a crisis. If you can spare a few thousand dollars without batting an eyelash for new appliances should they break tomorrow, don't buy a warranty. But if you're like most of us, protect yourself by purchasing inexpensive extended warranties when you buy a new product and save yourself big money in the long run.

    I miss my old dryer!

    Kgeryol 9/19/2019

    I bought this dryer in August. So far, I™€™m not totally pleased with its performance. When I dried my sheets, they came out wound up like a tight twisted ball which was damp on the insides. Never happened with my old dryer which lasted 25 years! It™€™s a beautiful looking dryer, but deceivingly hard to operate. There™€™s no info in the manual on the instant refresh cycle. Oh well, fingers crossed & hoping to get used to it.

    Cherylanne 9/10/2019

    The dryer keeps clogging with massive amounts of fluff and lint requiring expensive maintenance. This happens even though the lint trap is cleaned every single time. Is there a way to get this defect covered or corrected by the manufacturer?

    I purchased this dryer 2 years ago and am so glad I did. The preset drying features make drying easy and I still have the option of manually setting them too. I use the allergy and sanitizing options often for sheets and comforters. The instant refresh option works well in a pinch for those who don't like to use an iron.

    Luv2shop 7/30/2019

    We had a traditional pair or washer and dryer but it was time to upgrade because the dryer stopped working. Electrolux was a HUGE upgrade! My clothes smell extra fresh and everything gets cleaner! I threw clothes without pretreating into the washer and even blood comes out! The dryer dries in half the time and clothes are without wrinkles! I couldn™€™t be happier! Plus these were one of the few models that both washer and dryer door swings can be changed!

    Looks pretty, but.....

    mvs111 7/3/2019

    I recently purchased the washer and dryer and so far have not been pleased.Let's start with the dryer first: 1) clothes come out wrinkle because it hits the front of the door where the automatic dry sensor is, they get stuck there (yes, may machine is perfectly balances) and either do not dry or are a wrinkled mess. Let's not talk about sheets. They're really wrinkled and unevenly dried, so now i have to dry top and bottom sheets separately. Very little help from the company except to insist it's not balances. Hogwash.

    I loved this dryer except for lint screen

    Nice Mommy 6/20/2019

    This dryer is quiet. It is easy on clothes and works beautifully. I have always cleaned the lint screen every single time. Unfortunately, when I bought mine, in 2017, it was constructed with an ineffective lint screen. I know they have corrected this in newer models because my son purchased one with an excellent, much larger lint screen. I just had to spend $180 for a professional to come out and take apart my machine in order to clean out the lint that totally bypassed the lint screen. It's a real shame. You really do need to pay someone every 18 months. That's crazy. I would still recommend a newer model. But Electrolux needs to design a replacement lint screen that actually does something.

    Grinding Rattling very noisy

    Vladara 6/4/2019

    After a year of using the dryer, there is a strange loud grinding noise coming from it. it still works though, but i am afraid it'll break soon and since its been over a year warranty is over and i will have to pay hundreds of dollars to get it fixed when it breaks and from the sounds that are coming from it, i think it will be soon. Also the lint trap is designed poorly and clothes constantly get stuck on the corner of the lint trap.

    Great dryer--clothes come out fresh, wrinkle-free

    Maria Dulce 5/24/2019

    I have had the dryer for almost two years, and am so happy we went with Electrolux. I researched the various brands carefully and was very impressed with the reviews of the brand, plus many of the floor salespeople told me they had the brand and loved it. Both the washer and the dryer are amazing. Large capacity--I placed a new down comforter in to fluff it up, no problem, with some room to spare so it got very fluffy. Clothes smell wonderful, they look very polished and ready to hang, and are soo soft. Love my Electrolux washer and dryer!

    Andrew484 5/16/2019

    This is an oddly designed machine. On regular setting clothes come out damp but on high works well. Would be ok with that but bearings needed to be serviced just after 2 years. Not acceptable.

    Some serious design flaws.

    MolyneuxNKY 3/8/2019

    I have had this machine since Feb. 1, 2019. It seemed to have a lot of bells and whistles. But, there are flaws. First the is a "shelf" just inside the front door where the lint filter is located. Small items get stuck on that shelf and do not get dried with the rest of the load. It's even worse when you try to dry the single or two items after the rest is dry. Those items seem to jump right back up on the shelf and sit there. There needs to be a slope to that area. Then, second, there is little flexibility to settings. If you set it for "towels", for example, the time sets and so do other drying features. They can't be changed. Seems to me that the settings should be our choice. Also, we don't like the sideways opening door. Our old dryer had a drop-down door which gave you a working shelf when loading and unloading. With a big load, you open this door with no outside shelf and clothes fall on the floor. Also, the drum is very deep. You can't reach all the way to the back of the drum. If clothes are at the back, you have to use a yard stick or other item to reach the clothes and get them out.. The volume of the signal at the end of the cycle is way too low and can't be heard except close to the dryer. Volume should be adjustable so it can be heard in other parts of the house. (Now with smart phones and "Alexa", having a smart phone connection would be a neat idea for the end of cycle signal.)

    Good dryer, miss minutes option

    ccsk 10/23/2018

    I have had this dryer about 2 months now and am happy with it. It can hold a large load and dries well. My two complaints would be the lint catcher and the timed dry. The lint catcher seems to allow quite a bit of lint to pass by into the air tunnel parts and I would have thought this would be improved from my 20 year old dryer, but it's about the same. Also, I used to be able to dry by minute, but now have to choose from preset times of 30, 45, 60 minutes - or preset options of normal, towels, etc. I need about 38 minutes and now either have to run a 30 and a quick-dry or over dry with 45 or normal setting.

    CourtneyS 8/13/2018

    I bought this dryer less than two years ago and after multiple problems and service visits, it™€™s still a total lemon. Just months after purchasing, it stopped working due to a factory error. A year later, it sounds like an outboard motor on a boat and I can hear it all the way upstairs even though it™€™s located in the basement. I would not recommend an Electrolux dryer.

    Generally very happy with this dryer but a few weeks ago it started making a really loud sound - like an unmuffled engine. Had to call a repair man. He said there was a problem with one of the drying fins. He replaced it and now the problem is gone. It was under warranty so no cost, but he said this is a common issue for these dryers so be aware.
