Since this is a front-load washing machine, it will use up to 70% less water than traditional washers. This will save you money, as well as preserve the integrity of your fabrics by not drowning them in an excess of water.

Inside of the dryer, which is located above the washing machine, you will have a total of 5.7 cubic feet of space. This is quite large, especially for a stacked washer/dryer combo.

This will dramatically reduce the need to iron your clothes.

The operational noise of both the washer and dryer has been dramatically reduced through various silencing systems – ideal for those living in apartments.

Cons:

The washer door is quite small, which can be annoying when loading and unloading a full-load of laundry.

Worthy Accessory:

The Whitney Design Wall Mount Telescoping Indoor Drying Rack is a great option for those who need to air dry their dedicates, but don’t have access to an open outdoor space. This indoor drying rack can be purchased for an average price of $25.

Last year, I was in the market for an all-in-one washer/dry combo. My daughter was moving into a small apartment in Boston while she was in college, and I thought it would be nice to get her a washer-dryer. Fortunately, the apartment had a hook-up so that wouldn’t be a problem.

After much research, price comparison, and shopping the local home improvement stores, I found the Frigidaire, model #FEX831FS. It is the most economical all in one washer/dryer that I found. It is the perfect size for a small apartment or for a small family.It is a stacked washer dryer with the 2.7 Cu. Ft. washer on the bottom and the 5.7 Cu. Ft. dryer on the top. It fit nicely into the corner of my daughter’s kitchen, right next to the sink. I must say, I was pleasantly surprised at the good job it did washing and drying. The drying took a little longer than a larger, separate dryer, but it is much better than having to go out to the Laundromat lugging dirty laundry through the city.

The Frigidaire FEX831FS is $798.00 at Lowe’s Home Improvement Center, which I found to be the best value. I have seen this model for as much as $899.00 in other places. This economical price is half the cost of separate washer and dryer units. Buying this white, all-in-one stacked washer/dryer will actually save you money in the long run with the expense of washing and drying clothes at a Laundromat.

The washer unit of the FEX831FS washer/dryer is an extra large capacity. It has 8 wash cycles with hot/cold, cold/cold, and warm/cold rinse cycles. It also has a handy bleach dispenser to prevent bleach spots on your clothing and a self-cleaning filter.

The Frigidaire washer/dryer combo is energy efficient and uses less water than older, similar models. There is an extended warranty offered on the washer/dryer from two years to five years on top of the original one year warranty. The extended warranty will cost you an extra $29.99 to $99.99, depending on the length of time of the warranty.

The dryer has both automatic dry cycles and timed dry cycles with up to 100 minutes for timed drying. You can set the temperature for high or low heat, depending on the type of fabrics you are drying, and there is a cool down setting on the dryer also. A signal at the end of the dry time will let you know when the clothes are dry, so you can get them out before they wrinkle.

Read up on the FEX831FS Washer/Dryer Instructions, Installation Directions, and Operation Instructions before you make a decision to buy.

All in all, I would say that my daughter was very satisfied with this Frigidaire FEX831FS. It is still saving her time and money while she is in school, plus I don’t have to worry about her out in the city streets at night walking to and from the Laundromat. Its great value, quality, and space saving features make it the perfect choice for apartments, small spaces, single people, or small
