100% yes, I have these in the blog as a top laundry pick. They are a little larger physically than some other front loaders but the ultra fresh technology works! They can be a little noisy when the fan is on to move the air around, but I feel the way they clean and keep the washer fresh is well worth it. The 850 series can even dry small loads in the washer so no need to move to the dryer. Prepare the space well when buying these.

Give this Bertazzoni a look MAST365GASXE. This is the Master Series the retail is under 4k and has some promotions on it right now. The Bosch is ok, but it’s made at the Smeg factory to their specs so not a true reason to buy a Bosch, in my opinion. Fisher Paykel I like the 9 series better but will blow the budget. Zline is actually very well supported from a customer service point of view in the lower price point you may want to give them a second look, but the Bertazzoni is a tried-and-true piece for many years now. Bertazzoni also will be the best as far as delivery times I see many distributors have them in stock. They make a 6 burner as well not far off in price so check em both out.

Thank you for posting here. To be really honest those machines just drive me nuts, from the load sensing to the electronics its like if you don’t turn it on in a certain sequence the machine gets confused and you need to reset it. I think the load sensor maybe the issue why its not starting all the time.  As far as I am aware once a load starts there is no way to reset the water levels on these. Its like you set it it starts and you would need to cancel drain and start over to change it.  They are buggy and suffer from intermittent issues the truth is you seem to have come to grips that this is it.  When your ready for  your next unit holler at me and lets get something that isn’t so sensitive. By the way we are giving away a free kitchen to a random member but in the Spring I will probably do a laundry giveaway so maybe you can get lucky. Again appreciate you posting but I think the machines today are so computerized , I wish it was like 20 years ago and they made dumb appliances again they just worked better and were easier to use.

Excellent question and you kind of beat me to the punch. On my Facebook group I was asked this, and I said wait it out as they are shipping and Electrolux will be after. Well, I need to do an about face, I just hung up with my factory inside guy and he said they are so backed up on parts for the Frigidaire specifically door bins there products are barely moving. He said believe it or not the Electrolux backorders were small in comparison and use a different bin so he feels that is the better choice right now. They already started shipping these units out the door.

This does change as we know there are 60 container ships literally sitting off the coast of Cali right now, but my best up to date info is throw a backorder in for the Electrolux and you may be pleasantly surprised that it will come sooner than anticipated.

Good luck! They will be worth it in the end.
