Frigidaire GLTF2940 Front Load Washer 3.5 Cu. Ft.
Frigidaire GLTF2940 basically has the same features as the FTF2140 - 10 cycle front loader washer, but better. With the same capacity of 3.5 cubic feet, GLTF2940 offers more wash cycles (up to 14). It is a full-size stackable washer that offers the same benefits of a typical front loader.
It doesn't have a bulky agitator that helps increase the load and lower the water consumption. Although it features high-speed extraction, it is still gentle on clothes. In fact, users can very well take advantage of having four wash/rinse temperature combination, such as warm/cold, cold/cold, warm/warm, and hot/cold.

Product Overview
Frigidaire GLTF2940 also has a manual temperature control to customize the wash cycle. It is known to clean clothes well, thanks to its two stain level selections: heavy and light soil. Through these settings, one can choose laundry items that require more wash time and longer cycles.
Convenience
The extra rinse as well as the extra spin options can be automatically set to allow for more thorough cleaning, as detergents that are still stuck in fabrics and not thoroughly rinsed can lead to discoloration or clothes having bad odor. But this is just the start--Frigidaire GLTF2940 also features the press saver setting for the utmost convenience of the user.
Build
This front loader comes with a stainless steel wash drum, where tumble action cleaning takes place. So even if it only has a relatively smaller capacity than other super-size front loaders, GLTF2940 can accommodate more load. The electronic controls are used for easy program settings. If the FTF2140 has an 8-hour delay start, this improved model features 12-hour delay start, so users can get back to doing other tasks while dirty clothes take a spin in the washing machine.
Cycles
For those looking for more options, this washing machine has three wash and five spin speed combination. They will also benefit
from the advanced rinse technology that comes from having automatic bleach, fabric softener, and detergent dispensers. For streamline efficiency, it is powered with automatic temp control.
Safety features
The water level is automatically set based on the load and preferred settings. Safety and convenience also ranks high in its longlist of features, as this washing machine is designed to have control locks, cycle status lights, door lock lights, and time remaining indicator, among others.
All in all, Frigidaire GLTF2940 is one innovative washer that's designed with easy to use settings and controls to help care for fabrics and clothings. This also translates to granting users with more freedom on how they want to do their laundry.
Advantages
The best part in using GLTF2940, according to consumer reports, comes from its adjustable settings that make washing clothes faster and easier. Aside from cleaning clothes well, it is also energy efficient.
Despite its size, Frigidaire GLTF2940 still accommodates decent amount of load and works quietly, making it a good working companion at home. For many people, the washer is best used in cleaning athletic clothes, bedding, everyday wear, towels, and other delicate fabrics.
Frigidaire GLTF2940 is also heavy-duty. Some may even be glad to recommend it for people who are looking for a compact but still powerful washer.
Disadvantages
Frigidaire GLTF2940 is a known shaker or mover, based on consumer feedback. Some users also cited its control location as one of its disadvantages. Shorter people may have trouble reaching for those dryer buttons or controls.
Its rubber seal gets moldy after some time. On top of these, some owners also complained about its defective door lock that made it difficult for them to put in the laundry items and pull out washed clothes.
Final Thought
This washer is definitely an upgrade of other former models of Frigidaire. Though there are a few quirks, it still does a good job at cleaning and giving users a good variety of options for the wash and rinse cycles. The many benefits still outweigh the drawbacks.
