So the “L” in the front of the model tells you it is a Lowes derivative made by Frigidaire just for them. I did a look at the specs and compared it to the Frigidaire model many other stores sell and was surprised that it is a good value packed with features, no outside dispenser which is less to go wrong and your correct great LED lighting. Yes I would not hesitate to put this in my kitchen.
Many washers at 3.8-4.2 claim they can hold one, but I like to recommend a 4.5 because the comforter needs room to move around to really get clean. So fitting is one thing, and functionality for cleaning is another. So 4.5 min is what I like to suggest but have sold many 4.2 that customers claim work just fine. I like Maytag in a front loader but not that much in a top loader. I really like the LG in a large top loader. Not sure if you mean top or front, but try to find 4.2 or larger, and you will be fine.

So without ice and water, I am a huge Bosch 800 series fan, and they make a few variations but all have the dual compressors that make it such a unique piece. Below is a pick of the handless model with the beverage drawer they do make it in a 3 door with handles. I do like the GE profile as well. Samsung has such cool features, but if a dispenser model, they can’t get it right. Every customer complains of ice build-up, so it’s really hard to recommend them for that reason. I would steer you away as they look nice, but when it breaks, you will have a tough time getting it repaired much better options out there.
So two versions there is the chateau series and the Cornue Fe. Both are great in their own, with the Chateau being the larger and more customizable of the two. I just sold a Cornue Fe 110 to a customer 8 months later it’s delivered installed and looks incredible. They bought it for styling as it went into a fancy Hamptons House that they will probably never cook on it. I personally think if you enjoy cooking, it’s a fantastic stove designed to last a lifetime and be a generational piece. They cook extremely well and have amazing white-glove service, so many options in style and cooktops but are also very simplistic in design. Handmade in France with care If someone asked me what is the best stove if money was no object, I would probably steer them here. It is a unique, classic timeless all-in-one well-made product that if you can afford then go for it.

If you hate it, then I hate it! So front loaders have had improvements over the years, and the big one is odor control. By nature of the machine, the water never fully pumps out, and the gasket remains moist, attracting smelly bacteria and mold over time if not cleaned regularly. Many machines now have specific cleaning cycles using bleach or affresh cleaning tablets. Ge now makes a machine with a microban gasket that mold won’t grow on, and it even has an ultra-fresh feature that utilizes the tub turning with a fan and a vent in the door opens. This has really worked well and so far taken care of the mold issue.
For now, run some bleach and wipe the gasket down thoroughly as well. Unfortunately in yours, the bacteria has taken hold of it is very hard to get rid of on the inner components. Try some affresh tabs a few times and some cycles of bleach to see if that helps.https://www.geappliances.com/ge/washer/front-load-laundry.htm
