Frigidaire Affinity ATF6700F

Pros
  • Short wash cycle
  • Stylish appearance
  • Effective spin cycle
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • Limited features
  • Doesn't clean as well as others

The Frigidaire Affinity ATF6700F is a mid-price front-loading washer that has a larger door and more stylish appearance than most models in this price range. It has a 3.5-cubic-foot capacity and the usual range of features found in front-loading washing machines, including several wash and temperature settings, as well as a stainless-steel drum. It has a smaller footprint than most front-loading washers, and owners say it fits easily into small laundry rooms. Unlike most front loaders, the Frigidaire Affinity washer takes only 55 minutes to complete a wash cycle, but a few owners complain that clothes don't always come out clean. As with most front-loading washers, we read a variety of complaints about vibration, noise, breakdowns and mold growth.

The Frigidaire Affinity ATF6700F isn't included in the professional tests we saw, but it does receive a Budget Buy award from ConsumerGuide.com. We found many owner comments for this washing machine at Sears.com and Epinions.com.
