Frigidaire GLTF2940F

We found the best ratings at Consumer Reports, which runs nearly 50 washers through extensive testing and gives a detailed individual report on each. ConsumerReports.org also has almost 100 user reviews on the Frigidaire GLTF2940F, but a subscription is required to see them. We found a few owner reviews at Sears.com and Epinions.com and a brief discussion of the Frigidaire GLTF2940F in the laundry forum of GardenWeb.com. Taken as a whole, those tend to be more positive than the owner reviews at ConsumerReports.org.

If you want more features than a stacked laundry center provides, you can buy separate, stackable full-size units, and reviews suggest the front-loading Frigidaire GLTF2940F as the best stackable washer. One disadvantage is that while single-unit laundry centers put the controls between the dryer above and washer below, separate units will have the controls atop each. The washer requires 120 volts. The matching 240-volt electric Frigidaire GLEQ2152E dryer (*est. $600) or 120-volt gas Frigidaire GLGQ2152E (*est. $660) can be paired with this 27-inch-wide washer. Owner reviews are generally very positive, but some warn that it's important to clean and dry the washer's rubber gasket after each use to avoid mold and odors. If you'd rather have a combo laundry center for easier access to controls, owner reviews recommend the Frigidaire GLEH1642F (*est. $880).
