We found the best owner reviews at Sears.com -- about 50 for the Frigidaire GLEH1642F with the electric dryer and a handful for the gas-dryer version. Buzzillions.com is another site with useful owner reviews. We also found a brief discussion of the Frigidaire GLEH1642F in the laundry forum of GardenWeb.com.
Owner reviews recommend the Frigidaire GLEH1642F as a good full-size, front-loading stacked laundry center. The 3.1-cubic-foot washer sits below the 5.7-cubic-foot electric dryer (27 inches wide). There's also a gas-powered dryer combo version available, the Frigidaire GLGH1642F (*est. $1,170). The Frigidaire GLEH1642F requires connections for water, electricity (240 volts) and a venting system. Some owner reviews say the dryer is too slow, and the owner's manual says drying time will be 20 percent longer on a 208-volt hookup than at 240 volts. A moisture sensor recognizes when clothes are dry to save energy, but some owner reviews say the Frigidaire GLEH1642F's buzzer is annoyingly loud. Controls are mounted between the washer and dryer, making them easy to reach. If you don't have enough space to accommodate a 27-inch laundry center, reviewers recommend the 24-inch GE WSM2420D (*est. $1,200).

This brief thread discussion was started by a user who was trying to decide whether to buy the Frigidaire GLEH1642F or the Whirlpool separates. There's some good advice in the thread; ultimately, the user went with the Whirlpool washer and dryer because the buzzer could be disabled.
