Frigidaire FTF530FS front load washer

Frigidaire washers are designed to fit in any home and meet the requirements of modern living. They are not only efficient but also space-saving. One washing machine that can probably attest to these standards is the Frigidaire FTF FTF530.

Unlike other front loaders in the market, FTF530 offers simpler settings and configurations to enjoy a clean wash. Its simplicity is among the many benefits of using this washer.

Product Overview

Frigidaire's FTF530 front load washer has many reliable features that make it practical for any laundry task. Like other front-loading machines, it doesn't have an agitator but uses the Tumble Action Cleaning System. So even if this washer only has a capacity of 3.1 cubic feet, it can still accommodate more loads compared to traditional washers.

It offers more uniform cleaning; clothes are lifted and plunged through water to force the water and detergent through the clothing fibers. This helps wash away sand, stains, and soil. Despite the more thorough cleaning, this washer is still gentle on clothes and doesn't cause advance wear and tear on laundry items. This system is one of the secrets to the efficiency of FTF530.

Not only does it operate quietly, it also reduces water and energy consumption. This translates to more saving on utility bills for budget-conscious users.

This 5 cycle front load washer has one wash and two spin speed combination and comes with three wash/rinse temperature combos such as hot/cold, warm/cold, and cold/cold. These settings are good enough to ensure a more thorough wash with a clean feel to each laundry item thrown into the washer.

The laundering machine can work at heavy or light wash cycle depending on the type of clothing and the kind of wash needed for the laundry items to be fresh, odor-free, and clean. Aside from the stainless steel basket, FTF530 also has automatic dispensers for bleach, detergent, and fabric conditioner. This way, anyone can use this washer with more ease and with less worries for preparation. To prevent leaks, it also has a dependable door lock.

Users can also leave it spinning for minutes and just check the end-of-cycle signal to know if it's already time to pull out all the laundry items from the machine and perhaps load some more to start another cycle.

This washer can easily find a good place at any home. It can be placed on a pedestal, stacked, positioned under a counter, or hidden in the closet. The sleek design also allows it fit well with the interior decoration.

Advantages

FTF530 is recommended for users who are looking for simpler ways to operate their washing machines. It does a good job at cleaning, and lets users save more in energy and water. Many consumers think that it is a good buy because it's a silent operator, which is nice to have at home. The laundry items, when taken out from the washer, are also almost dry. It also has an adequate load capacity, perfect more small family or moderate size households.

Many users have complained about digital controls that are hard to program or set. But because FTF530 offers the basic features, it's easier to set to wash.

Disadvantages

According to some consumers, this washer has cheap pulley design and the tub also easily fails. The small bleach tray and other dispensers are also one of its disadvantages. With improper use, it is also prone to repairs. So even though it is cheaper compared to other brands, consumers will have to add the repair cost to the bill.

Some users also wish that it has more wash and rinse cycles for a more thorough washing. The smaller capacity also limits the number of laundry items that can be loaded.

Final Thought

Frigidaire's FTF530 is certainly not of the most sophisticated washers in the market. Aside from its smaller capacity, it also has limited features. For people looking for flexibility, this is one of the main disadvantage. But despite its shortcomings, this washer is still a good option for those who are looking for an efficient wash minus the hassle of having too many controls and options.

It has a decent price and can perform well in washing away stains and dirt from clothes and other laundry items. It doesn't cause wear and tear but cares for different types of fabric. In the end, there are still good reasons to invest on this washer.
