I love this washer - however you cannot fit large comforters inside to wash - you will have to take them to the laundry mat to wash separately. Over all I am pleased - just not looking forward to going to the laundry mat.

After 6 months of use, this Washing machine stopped working. Literally, stopped working. you press the buttons a little water fills and then nothing, just the countdown to smelly water in the unit. I luckily found out how to drain with out spin to get the rancid water out of the system, but I cannot do my laundry at home.[...] on August 7, followed the instruction manual, replaced a board, still same issue, still no ability to wash our clothes at home. My wife and I are now one month with out a washing machine and well it sucks. We had issues with the same model last year and because of the counters I have in my laundry room I was stuck purchasing the same unit because of its size.I will be calling Frigidaire directly for a recall as something is seriously wrong with this thing. It will fill with water for a couple seconds and then nothing. [...] I am almost at the point of ripping out my counter and going back to a non-computer based top loading machine because of all of the electronic issues we are having with this unit. I mean my parents have had one for 15 years without issue.I am not a happy nor satisfied customer with this product, and well having a washer at home was supposed to eliminate my need to go to the laundromat, back to hauling my clothes and washing them there...for the price of this unit and only having this unit for 6 months, this machiine shuold not be broken.

Very happy with this washer! I needed a smaller size maching to fit in my designated spot in the laundry room, so my choices were very limited. But it works great, and is very user friendly!

The instructions are OK, but the machine doesn't require much to get it up and running.

My dryer decided to conk out and then catch on fire when the repair person came out and treid to turn it on. It was a stackable unit so I had to replace both the washer and dryer. And with a 2 year old, it had to happen quickly. I went online and wanted to find the cheapest front loading unit that could stack in the space I had. This washer fit all my requirements and did end up being the least expensive one. [...] I do about 6 loads of laundry each week and have had no problems with this machine. It is so quiet compared to my old top loading machine. Others have complained that the cycle time is too long, but my last machine took just as long and didn't get things nearly as clean. It has more than enough options to take care of all my laundry needs.

Easy to use, and very efficient.

Comments about Frigidaire Frigidaire GLTF2940 Front Load Washer:

Quiet, efficient, does the job well. Even though not as big as I'm use to, my laundry is getting done in no time since the clothes are much drier out of the washer.

Comments about Frigidaire Frigidaire GLTF2940 Front Load Washer:

We have a newborn baby and we chose to go with cloth diapers, and this machine is fantastic for cleaning them. It has a great soak cycle, which cleans the diapers thoroughly. It's really quiet, and pretty quick to wash clothes. Consumer reports rated BEST BUY, and we agree!

Comments about Frigidaire Frigidaire GLTF2940 Front Load Washer:

We have this washer in a closet off of our kitchen and it is so silent - I was afraid it was not working. Very little vibration as well. Nice control options and front load is very handy to swith directly to dryer. HUGE FAN!

Comments about Frigidaire Frigidaire GLTF2940 Front Load Washer:

I am thrilled with how quiet this machine washes. It spins out the clothes so well on the high spin /double spin option that it cut drying time down significantly (half the time for towels and jeans). My clothes are cleaner and I get excited when there is another load to wash! However, the rubber seal does smell odd. I haven't noticed it transferring to my clothes. It arrived at my home smelling odd. I do dry out the seal after I am done washing. The seal also catches any odd stuff floating around, so it needs to be cleaned out. Additionally, the dial and soap dispenser look a little flimsy and toy like. I hope they will last.

Comments about Frigidaire Frigidaire GLTF2940 Front Load Washer:

This has been a wonderful washer so far! Clothes come out very clean. The washer is very quite as well and it uses so little water too. I have been following everyone's recommendations to wipe out the lip and leave the door cracked to let it air dry and I haven't had any problems yet. Also I would recommend geting a delicate bag if you wear the small ankle socks like I do. They tend to get stuck in the door (the lip area) and thus not washed very well. I went to the store and bought a mesh delicate bag and they all get washed very well now.

I was really disappointed with the capacity. I'm used to machines that hold a lot of clothes. Although I like this machine I have to wash so many more loads. Also, the wash time is much too long. My previous machine's wash cycle was 12 minutes. This baby's cycle is 44 minutes!

My sister had good experience w/similar Frigidaire front load washer. And with other reviews I read, I chose this machine. [...]

Comments about Frigidaire Frigidaire GLTF2940 Front Load Washer:

With 3 young kids, I do 8-10 loads a week. We needed a washer that was no more than 28 inches deep and did not shake too much to be installed on the second floor. This fit the bill and was recommended by a national consumer group. It cleans well, is quiet, and doesn't rattle the floor, unlike our previous front-loader (Maytag Neptune). Wish that the front door was reversible, and that the electronic controls were located on the top or back edge. They are on the front of the washer, just above the door, and are easily reached by our toddler. She is able to turn the washer on, so I consider this a safety hazard. Like all front-loaders, you need to be careful to dry the rubber gasket after each use. [...]

Comments about Frigidaire Frigidaire GLTF2940 Front Load Washer:

The washer exceeded my expectations - it is compact enough to fit in our 3F single-door closet-sized laundry room (stacked w/ the matching gas dryer) and does a fine job churning out clean laundry. I am a firm believer in front-loading washers now - it uses so little water and is every effective. The spin cycle really dries your laundry to the point that some just need a bit of air drying time (rather than using the dryer). Highly recommended.

Comments about Frigidaire Frigidaire GLTF2940 Front Load Washer:

Just replaced a very old Kenmore top loading machine and did a fair bit of research before choosing this washer. Capacity looked a little small but handled a usual load of bedding with no problem, bulky cycle a big plus and so far has cut 30 minutes off drying time on every load I've done. Like others wiping down the gasket when finished and leaving the door ajar.

Comments about Frigidaire Frigidaire GLTF2940 Front Load Washer:

I've had this washer for approximately a month, using it for all kinds of stuff: whites, delicates, hand washables, wool, sport synthetics, and big blankets. My wife and I are using it 3-5 times a week, no kids, but have a dog that generates a lot of fur. It is simply an awesome washer. I love the digital controls, everything is automatic, and there is a great selection of different types of cycles. It is also super quiet (if leveled properly), and can fit a surprisingly large amount of clothes - almost the same as our previous top loader. It's much gentler on our clothes, and they come out a lot dryer than they did out of the top loader. I've been line drying a lot more stuff because of this, and expect my clothes to last longer.I deducted a star because my first unit was defective. There is a common issue with a buzzing door lock on Frigidaires that has to do with a defective locking mechanism and the alignment of the door. [...]Another really important thing is that the unit is leveled correctly. There should be very little movement, rumbling, or vibration. At most it makes a nice hum when it hits the 10K rpm spin cycle, with a slight vibration. My first unit wasn't leveled so well, and it vibrated badly in the spin cycle. So check this if you think it is vibrating too much.Overall this is a great unit for the price. You can't do much better. The only thing it lacks is a steam cycle, but it's up in the air whether or not that actually does anything. Also, keep in mind that front loaders tend to have more issues than top loaders, even the expensive ones, and I recommend getting an extended warranty if you plan on hanging onto it past the first year.

Comments about Frigidaire Frigidaire GLTF2940 Front Load Washer:

Great machine! We read a bunch of reviews and CR put us over the top. We had concerns, because some folks complained and may expect perfection or did not use it right. We replaced a top loader that was decent but 14 years old. This machine uses less water and soap, is easier on the clothes. Kids' socks are actually clean now. Wipe the rubber gasket after you are done using the washer and leave the door open to air dry.

Comments about Frigidaire Frigidaire GLTF2940 Front Load Washer:

I read many reviews and this unit was consistently rated high. I am not disappointed! I expected something like a laundromat front loader and was pleasantly surprised to see how much it conserved water and how well it cleaned clothes. A blueberry stain disappeared without pretreating! The best decision I have ever made! The base I purchased did not have a drawer - did not want it. I expected it to fit, though it was not recommended. A drill and 10 minutes later and I was able to modify it to work.

Comments about Frigidaire Frigidaire GLTF2940 Front Load Washer:

I like this washer very much. It is energy efficient so what I am noticing is that it uses alot less water. I know that is a good thing for the environment and our water bills. It will take some getting used to that there is very little water "sloshing" around in the drum like what you see in a traditional top load washer. I was told by a washer technician that it is important not to use too much detergent, as this can cause mechanical problems with the washer unit later on. Therefore, I will use 1/2 of the suggested HE laundry detergent.

Enjoy owning an efficient washer that performs well.

Comments about Frigidaire Frigidaire GLTF2940 Front Load Washer:

make sure that you remove the four installation screws ... the instructions indicate that you should do so, but it does not "look like" you need to, BUT YOU DO. the screws are hard to remove, but if you do not remove the screws the washer "walks." when removed, the washer is perfectly quiet and does not "rock."

I love this washer - what a great value for the price

Comments about Frigidaire Frigidaire GLTF2940 Front Load Washer:

This is my first ever washer and bought it based on reviews from consumer reports and it lives up to the billing.

I love the front load since it is much more energy efficient and easier on clothing.

So far everything is fantastic and the only possible negative is the vibrating/shaking, but my basement floor may not be the most even surface so take the negative with a grain of salt.

Comments about Frigidaire Frigidaire GLTF2940 Front Load Washer:

nice low water user and spins the clothes so thoroughly that the dryer time is halfed.

Comments about Frigidaire Frigidaire GLTF2940 Front Load Washer:

USE UNIT FOR EVERYTHING, WASHES EXCELLENYTLY, CLOTHES COME OUT MUCH DRYER THAN MY OLD TOP LOADER. VIBRATES IN FINAL SPIN OUT AND NEEDS TO BE RE0ADJUSTED EVERY SO OFTEN.

Comments about Frigidaire Frigidaire GLTF2940 Front Load Washer:

A comforter by itself was very cramped in the washer, but did still come pretty clean (with an extra rinse and extra spin added for good measure).

Comments about Frigidaire Frigidaire GLTF2940 Front Load Washer:

The only cons I have listed are very minor ones. I haven't actually done any work on leveling it (it was very close to being level out-of-box), so I'm sure the vibrations could be reduced by working with that, I just haven't had time. The only other complaint is that I wish the door would latch when I swing it shut. You actually have to press the door shut (and in the middle, not at the top) or it won't fully latch and will swing back open until you push it shut. It wouldn't be as big of a deal if I had the pedestals, because the middle of the door would be an easier reach.As with any front load, make sure you dry the rubber gasket inside the door after use and leave the door cracked so it can dry out and won't mildew. This isn't an issue with just this model, it's an issue with every front-loader I've used.I used to have Maytag Neptunes and loved them. Now, I can hardly believe that I was satisfied with them! This machine does a better job of getting things clean and was rated pretty high [...]. It's also very energy efficient and a google of the model number came up with numerous "green" links! :) I also love that after a spin cycle, it actually tosses around the clothes to avoid wrinkles and keep them from being plastered to the walls of the drum when you go to take the clothes out! Wonderful!!

It is truly energy efficient.

Comments about Frigidaire Frigidaire GLTF2940 Front Load Washer:

The cycle time for the permanent press is 31 minutes. This is a very quiet machine. This model rates quite high in the "consumer report". We are very satisified with all aspects of this machine. I don't think you can get a better machine with all the options for the price.We purchased the matching dryer and are happy with it also.

Comments about Frigidaire Frigidaire GLTF2940 Front Load Washer:

I can't believe how much I love this washing machine. Our clothes look cleaner and feel softer. I was also expecting it to be noisy and shake a lot during the spin cycle, but this machine is so quiet , you can hardly hear it running, even on the first floor. I would highly recommend this washer to anyone!

Comments about Frigidaire Frigidaire GLTF2940 Front Load Washer:

A very well made, attractive Machine. Can't believe the quality and performance at this Price. I was looking for a shorter cycle front loader; some machines take as long as 90+ minutes!!. This front loader does a fantastic job on the average wash load in 45 minutes. It also has the functionality to adjust for any type of clothing or bedding. Twice what the Whirlpool front loader is at half the price!
