Is a Front-load Washer More Reliable And Energy Efficient?

What makes our front-load machines more durable and efficient is the motor.

Our EcoInverter motor is not only energy efficient and quiet, it’s also so durable that it comes with a 10-year warranty.

Specially designed drums also improve water flow during the cycle, which makes for even more efficient washing and shorter wash times.

Common myths about front-load washers

Front-load washers are more expensive
Myth 1: Front-load washers are more expensive

Front-load washers may seem at first more expensive, but their durability and energy efficiency save electricity and water bills in the long run.

Myth 2: Front-load washers use less water and don’t clean as well

Our front-loaders have in-built sensors that measure the weight of your laundry and automatically adjust the amount of water needed. So they use the perfect amount of water for each cycle. Just because the water isn’t visible inside the machine doesn’t mean your clothes aren’t getting the deep clean they deserve.

Better Care for Clothes

Washing with lower temperatures has the added benefit of keeping vibrant colours brighter for longer

What is the optimum temperature for deep cleaning my clothes

Electrolux washing machines give you exceptional deep cleaning results at temperatures as low as 30 degrees. This is because our patented UltraMix™ technology pre-mixes the water and detergent before it enters the drum, so detergent is fully dissolved and activated before it meets your clothes.

What is the best way to wash delicate garments?

What’s the difference between front-load washers and top-load washers

How can I avoid tangling of my clothes?

How can I avoid tangling of my clothes

Front-load machines use a tumbling action, so clothes tend to tangle less in comparison to top-load washers which use a spinning action. You can also prevent tangling by avoiding mixing heavy items with light items, putting delicates into a mesh bag and not overloading the machine. Our front-loaders have sensors which measure the weight of each load to help you avoid this.

What if my Electrolux washing machine breaks down?

While breakdowns are rare, they cannot entirely be ruled out. In the unfortunate case of a breakdown, please call the Electrolux Service Centre (3193 9888) to arrange for a technician visit. Once you have registered your purchase, the EcoInverter motor in your washing machine has a 10-year warranty, while all other parts have the standard Electrolux 39-month warranty.
