Frigidaire Gallery Series Washer and Dryer - a Review

If you are in the market for a new washing machine and dryer, you may be considering buying the Frigidaire Gallery Series front-loading washer and dryer. With the popularity and priciness of front loading washing machines, the Frigidaire is worth a look.

Front Loading Frigidaire Gallery Series Washing Machine

If you are in the market for a washing machine which will save you money and be gentle on your clothes, you may want to consider the Frigidaire Gallery Series Front Loader.

Saving Water

This washing machine uses only a minimal amount of water to wash your clothes. It senses exactly how much water is need for the load, and adjusts accordingly. This is both a plus and a minus to this front loading washing machine.

Keeping your water bill and your heating bill low are two definite plusses. This washing machine will automatically sense just how much water to use based on your cycle choice and load size. You don't have to worry about forgetting to adjust the washer to a small load and wasting water or the energy to heat it.

However, you can not override this automatic function and I find this to be an occasional negative. There are times when you may want an especially dirty load of wash to swish around in some extra water to really get it clean. This is not an option in the Gallery Series Front Loading Washing Machine. You can, however, add an extra rinse or spin, so this had not been a major problem.

Cycle Selection

The Frigidaire Gallery Series washer has a fantastic selection of load and cycle settings. The following are just a few of the cycles you can choose from: Normal, Heavy, Perm Press, Quick, Silk, Touch Up, Bulky, Rinse/Spin, Hand Wash and many more.

The Spin/Rinse Cycles have many choices as well. You can spin from High down to Hang Dry or No Spin. And Rinse has choices ranging from Press Saver (always a great thing), Extra Rinse, Extra Spin, Normal and Heavy.

It is easy to make the cycle choices. All selections are lit for you, so you can verify that you have made the correct selections. Once you have started the washer, the Front Door Locked indicator will light due to the fact that it is front loading.
