  Price seems good - but the make is not one known for durability. We have an Asko - still working beautifully after 15 yrs. ( wish I hadn't said that ! )However it did cost $1500 even back then - so work out whether you're prepared to replace this one in a few years & remember a 5 yr. guarantee doesn't cover everything or opt for a higher priced machine with a good reputation known to provide years of service. The wash cycles on the Electrolux seem very long & this will also push up your usage bills in both water & the dreaded electricity.

    Maybe - though i'm less sure.
    These things spend a fair amount of time doing nothing during a wash.

    You can shorten the cycle to less than an hour for normal wash (probably a lot less with other settings that i don't use).

    I didn't buy this - kind of inadvertently acquired it - so my experience is only in use, and it hasn't missed a beat for a year now.

    Your Asko's etc are several classes above this though, but you need to work the streets for months to pay it off.
